Way back in March I e-mailed the guys at Daytrotter and tried to set up this session while I knew the band and Daytrotter would both be down at SXSW. I never heard back and my days of attempting to manage The Antlers pretty much came to a close (though I did line up their awesome WOXY Lounge Act the week after!). I've spent the last few months continuing to adore the band's music and watching as they've grown into the big buzz band of the moment, complete with their own (undeserved) backlash and countless new opportunities forged by their brilliant music. Forgive me for sounding so childish, but it's kind of been like watching a kid grow up for me considering I booked Peter's first performance in New York even if it was on Staten Island. Well as I've listened and watched them appear on all these different internet programs I've never stopped thinking about how cool it would be for them to do a Daytrotter session. Since I first stumbled onto Daytrotter I have been obsessed by their unceasing ability to bring in the best up-and-coming acts to play four songs just for them and their friends on the web. If I had more knowledge of recording and better contacts I would aspire to be like them, but obviously I could never top the real thing. Anyway, the two have finally come together for an absolutely haunting four song set that includes three fantastic songs from the amazing Hospice, ("Shiva", "Kettering", and "Two") along with the rarely heard "Cold War" from their Cold War EP of a couple years ago. As always it's an amazing performance that is not to be missed!The Antlers on Daytrotter
