Wild Beasts Wrap Up First US Tour in Brooklyn

Wild Beasts ended their first US tour at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Sunday night happy to be in Brooklyn, N.Y. Promoting their second album, 'Two Dancers,' the UK band was grateful to have finally made it Stateside and despite a claim by bassist/tenor Tom Fleming that the group was shot at in Detroit, they thanked the packed venue promising to return.

The crowd reciprocated the love by singing along, dancing and at one point even climbing up onstage in appreciation. Halfway through the band's set, during 'Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyant,' a song from their debut album 'Limbo Panto,' one fan hopped up on stage and sang beside falsetto singer/guitarist Hayden Thorpe, adding in some air guitar before being escorted offstage.

"Anyone else feeling lucky tonight?" Thorpe asked with a smile on his face. He then lowered his voice to transition into the night's eagerly anticipated hit, 'All the King's Men.' Whether they were kidding about the shooting or they actually have a bit of a death wish was unclear, but it was evident that Wild Beasts are really happy with their first trek in the States.
