LateRooms.com - Animal Collective to Play at Milan's Discoteca Alcatraz

    MILAN, ITALY, May 08, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Experimental band Animal Collective are set to play a gig in Milan later this month, bringing their inimitable blend of folk and psychedelic noise to the city.

The group will take the stage on May 25th and no doubt play plenty of tunes from their most recent record Merriweather Pavilion, arguably their most critically and commercially successful album.

Animal Collective's live line-up is in a constant state of flux, but key members are Avey Tare, Deakin, Geologist and Panda Bear, who has received a lot of praise for his recent solo work.

The Baltimore group are hugely influential in the alternative scene and have their own record label, entitled Paw Tracks. They also have the honour of curating the final spring session of All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK this month.

For their gig in Milan, they will be supported by an as-yet-unconfirmed act.

Tickets cost EUR25 (GBP22.45) plus booking fees in advance or EUR30 on the night. Doors open at 19:00 local time, with the music kicking off an hour later.

Fans of the band can find a variety of accommodation on LateRooms.com, including luxury hotels in Milan such as the Hotel Berna Milan.
