Original Post
Indie-rock quartet Alt-J have announced a small string of tour dates that will take place this December. The announcement comes on the heels of sold-out, headlining performances throughout North America, plus the U.S. release of their debut album. It kicks off on December 11, at San Francisco’s Bottom of the Hill, with two more Cali dates in L.A. and San Diego the following days. After that it’s off to Portland for a show at Star Theater on December 15, followed by the tour finale in Seattle, WA, at The Crocodile on December 17. Wildcat! Wildcat! will act as support for all shows save for December 12 in Los Angeles.

Alt-J released their debut album, An Awesome Wave, in the UK and Australia on May 25, and in North America on September 18. While it didn’t chart in the US, it did peek at No. 19 in the United Kingdom. Makes sense, considering the boys hail from Leeds, where they met at university in 2007. The name Alt-J represents the keyboard command on a Mac that makes the symbol for the Greek word “Delta,” which is used in mathematical equations to show change.
