About

Like their band name, the multi-faceted sound of British indie rockers Alt-J (∆) requires a bit of explaining. The name derives from the combination of keys that results in a delta sign (∆) on Mac computers; the sound – a combination of folk-pop, skittering polyrhythms, and soaring falsetto harmonies – results in happy critics and even happier listeners.  The quartet formed in 2007 in a Leeds Metropolitan University dorm room, and the constraints of recording demos in a quiet study environment heavily influenced their hushed, intricate approach to indie rock. Their 2012 debut An Awesome Wave received the Mercury Prize, Britain’s most prestigious music award, and launched the band to indie stardom with singles “Breezeblocks” and “Fitzpleasure.” Alt-J are on tour in 2013, and ticket buyers can be sure that no matter how big the venue, the band will deliver the intimate live concert they’ve become known for.

    Alt-J and Wildcat! - cool and unique

    by meandlittleAndy on 12/14/12The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    I am brand new to Alt-J. I came for Wildcat! Wildcat! - the openers who are an emerging band coming on fast. I could listen to "The end of the world every day" bass player all day long. Keyboard makes you want to go find the notes on the piano and jam while you work, play, live. Stoked to see the crowd at the Fonda theater arrive early and get into Wildcat!....Then - Alt-J. a friend said I should "give a listen before the show, they are really good, you will like them". cranked up their tunes on soundcloud for an all day house painting project - AWESOME. say it again. AWESOME. music is unusual and classic and intricate and interesting and fresh and engaging. musicians are about their business, but well aware of the crowd - thankful, humble, while blowing us away with their truly artistic, professional, elite musical SKILL. I hope you continue to pair with Wildcat! Wildcat! for a long time. Mesmerized.
