touring with antlers and bears, oh my

Brooklyn trio The Antlers are taking to the road with Minus The Bear to promote their new album, Hospice, out now via French Kiss. But it won't take ruby slippers or munchkins to bring them home; they will also join the Brooklyn Vegan Showcase lineup at the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC.

Peter Silberman, the "string-pulling" founder of The Antlers did not anticipate permanent additions to the lineup, especially considering his singer/songwriter roots, circa the New York Hospitals EP. But with drummer Michael Lerner and multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci, Antlers has found an audience for its ambitious art, a tour with established Minus the Bear, and now a spot at CMJ. -joe puglisi
