Villagers will bring the full band experience to the U.S. starting next week, touring behind their Mercury Prize-nominated debut “Becoming a Jackal.”
Villagers frontman Conor O’Brien played a live acoustic set at KCRW back in July on Chris Douridas’ show which included my personal favorite “Pieces,” as well as “Love Minus Zero,” “I Saw The Dead,” “Set the Tigers Free,” and “27 Strangers.” I heard incredible reviews of Conor’s solo show at the Hotel Café so mark your calendar for October 20 when he comes back through LA to play the Music Box. Full tour dates below!
Also, Villagers have a new video directed by Marco Sandeman for another standout track on their debut –“That Day” — which was shot across London in a single day. Check it out and view his tour dates below.
