The kooky, bongo infused glitz of
Wild Beasts made a big splash this year, both with limited US dates at
SXSW and here in NYC, and the release of
Two Dancers, out now on
Domino Records. The splash was so big, in fact, that we filmed
one of their only live State-side shows at Mercury Lounge. Now they're returning for their first full North American tour in early 2010. After the jump you can get a sneak peak of what to expect (like hooting, howling, falsettos, songs about sex...)
Two Dancers was a big hit here in the office, so we packed up our cameras and stuff and captured the Wild Beasts in their element. They destroyed it! (it being any doubts we had about them). Check out the full concert below:

Wild Beasts will be back for more wild romps in February. -
