The Maccabees are set to play a one off show at the Alexandra Palace on June 8th.
With the release of new album ‘Given To The Wild’, The Maccabees have stepped up a level. Rushing into the charts at number four, the album seems to mark the point where the band come into their own.
Out now, The Maccabees are following ‘Given To The Wild’ with a triumphant British tour. Playing dates across the country, the band have now lined up a massive one off show in London this summer.
Taking place on June 8th, The Maccabees will bring ‘Given To The Wild’ to the Alexandra Palace. Tickets for the one off show go on sale this Friday (January 27th) at 9am.
Speaking to ClashMusic recently, Felix White mused on the prospect of taking a studio project into the live arena. “Essentially it was written on computer and not necessarily in the same room at the same time, so some of the songs we’ve not really played them to the extent of what they are on the record. We haven’t done that in a room together, so it’s quite an interesting thing to re-create those songs live and do them justice live. That’s quite a big process.”
“We’ve got another member for the band now, live – he’s playing samples, keys and loads of the stuff which is on the record to help us out, soundwise. Which is an interesting thing to be doing and is something that needs to happen in order to help these songs. It’s no longer kind of guitars, bass, drums and vocals – not all the songs could happen that way any more. Well they could, but not in the way we intend them to be. But there’s massive excitement for us, in terms of playing these songs live to people.”
