BATTLES return, an underground supergroup that features avant garde composer TYONDAI BRAXTON, former LNYX member DAVID KONOPKA, HELMET / TOMAHAWK drummer JOHN STANIER and former DON CABALLERO frontman IAN WILLIAMS. They have a handful of EPs to their credit, and will be supporting the new Warp release, Atlas, here.

Battles played to a sold-out crowd and the energy at this show was intense!!!! I clamped my microphones to a pipe that is connected to the ceiling and watched in horror as I thought that at any second the mics would come crashing down! The whole place was shaking, including my mics, which were swaying, thumping, jumping, you name it. Thankfully all went well, and the mics survived, and grabbed another great recording for me to share with you.

If you have not heard or seen Battles perform live yet, do yourself a favor and check them out. You will not be dissapointed!

I'm glad you liked the recording! I thought it turned out very good.

I'm not sure where wmn is from. I received the setlist last night from Ian Williams and that is what he called the song on his setlist. If anyone knows what this is, please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks John!!!!
I think Wmn is, for now, just a live track, like Omnichord is with Tortoise

Does anyone here have this show available to share on soulseek? Pretty damn keen to download it, but i've had the torrent queued up for a while with no luck. No one seems to be seeding it anymore.
