THE BODY's Full NYC Show With The Assembly Of Light Choir Streaming At NPR; Band To Perform With Harvey Milk, Dark Castle, YOB This Week

NPR recently posted some amazing coverage of THE BODY performing with The Assembly Of Light Choir in both Manhattan and Washington DC on their tour, which crept into ten East Coast cities in late June. Most of the tour featured 13 members of The Assembly Of Light Women's Choir, while the Manhattan performance -- a fully seated event -- featured all 24 members of the choir. The eerie and angelic layers of female vocals harmonizing with the apocalyptic devastation THE BODY duo delivers, was something incredibly unique for all who attended these shows.

At the following locations you can now check out a stream of the full NYC show, and a photo essay of the DC show.

While THE BODY devise their next full-on tour attack for the coming months, they will be performing this week at two local shows. They'll terrorize those in attendance of the Harvey Milk show in New Haven, Connecticut on July 12, and the following night they'll join YOB and Dark Castle's stop on  THE BODY's Providence, Rhode Island turf. They're also confirmed to play Raleigh, North Carolina's Hopscotch Fest in September, the massive festival with Swans, Oxbow, Rhys Chatham, Coliseum, Drive-By Truckers, J Mascis, Krallice, Mount Eerie and nearly 150 more artists.

THE BODY Confirmed Assaults:

7/12/2011 Daniel Street - New Haven, CT w/ Harvey Milk

7/13/2011 Machines With Magnets - Providence, RI w/ Yob and Dark Castle

9/09/2011 Kings Barcade - Raleigh, NC @ Hopscotch Festival [info]

Stay tuned for more updates on THE BODY in the coming weeks.

THE BODY Prepare For June Tour With The Assembly Of Light Choir

Providence, Rhode Island's crushing duo THE BODY are preparing to wage war on the East Coast once again this June, this time bearing opening and collaborative support from their hometown allies in The Assembly Of Light Choir!

Devotees of THE BODY's acclaimed, oppressive 2010-released full-length, All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood, will know the name of The Assembly Of Light Choir, as these several dozen women added some of the utmost creepiest moments to the unique album. This special tour will feature a full set by The Assembly Of Light Choir, followed by a full set by THE BODY, then a collaborative set with both bands. A fully-seated performance is planned for Manhattan and the tour will play a church in Washington DC. Down-tempo rockers Braveyoung, who THE BODY have also toured and collaborated with in the past, will join for several of the shows as well. View the tour poster and more here.
