This is a good news, bad news situation.

First the bad news, due to road closure, the intimate Animal Collective show originally slated for The Henry Miller Library, will no longer hit the stage nestled among the towering redwoods and pristine cliffs of Big Sur.

The good news, now that the show is moving to Santa Cruz and into a bigger venue, an additional 650 tickets have been added, and go on sale TODAY at NOON!  Below are all the deets:

Animal Collective with special guests Sun Araw will now perform at The CATALYST in Santa Cruz, Thursday, April 14^th.  An additional 650 tickets will go on sale today, with a 2 ticket per person limit. Tickets are $30 plus a service fee.  All tickets are WILL CALL, and you will need a valid ID to claim your ticket the night of the show.  Big Sur ticket holders will get priority entrance into the venue.

Junk Culture is the brainchild of Oxford, Mississippi native Deepak Mantena, who fuses found sounds with high-energy dance rhythms and Animal Collective-influenced pop melodies.  On the title track off his newest release, Summer Friends, Mantena splashes brash vocals over electronic swirls and layers.

It seems fitting that Mantena’s Junk Culture, with its found sound influences, has secured a home at Illegal Art, the same record label as mash-up master Gregg Gillis, of Girl Talk fame.  The label mates will join forces in early 2011 for a U.S. tour, full tour dates can be found below. You can also stream/download the single “Summer Friends,” for FREE

Noah Lennox, one of the founding members of Animal Collective, and who goes by the moniker Panda Bear, is set to drop the new single Tomboy, on July 13^th.  It is the first in a series of limited edition 7” singles, set to release on different labels, all leading up to the release of full-length album Tomboy, dropping in September.  This record follows up Lennox’s third studio LP, the highly acclaimed Person Pitch (2007).  To fill out his summer schedule, Lennox is playing select festival dates, but unfortunately West Coast fans are out of luck this round.
