On Monday, October 1st at 7:30pm Freelance Whales will perform live from the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, New York, only a few blocks from the Bedford L train stop that played host to their early intimate platform performances. The band will be playing Diluvia, their eagerly-anticipated follow-up to Weathervanes, in its entirety. The event is non-ticketed, and exclusive to fans and friends of the band. Details on how fans can catch the show in person will be unveiled on the band’s Facebook page the morning of Monday, October 1st. But rest assured, anyone who doesn’t score tickets can still watch the performance in its entirety on Livestream. Tune in on Monday, October 1st at 7:30pm for the performance.
After two years and over a dozen tours, Freelance Whales were feeling road-worn and eager to rediscover their creative process. They had been building on the grassroots appeal of their earthy debut, Weathervanes, for tens of thousands of miles. To tare the scale, the band embarked on a many faceted journey during which they found themselves isolated in West Kill, sprawled with their instruments in Hoboken, and packed into studios in Brooklyn and Manhattan. What resulted from nearly a year’s worth of creative productivity is the group’s second full-length, Codec Diluvia (out October 9th on Mom+Pop/French Kiss).
