Hercules and Love Affair announce US live dates in support of their eagerly anticipated self-titled debut album (out June 24 on Mute/DFA). Their sold-out US live debut at Brooklyn’s Studio B was met with stellar reviews and a rapturous audience. TheFader.com declared, “[People] love Hercules and Love Affair the same way rabid Japanese teens must have loved Bruce Springsteen in 1986, crush the barricades and cry at the sight of an icon style love."
The live show includes Andy manning keyboards, a horn section, drum machines and providing backing vocals, Kim Ann and Nomi on lead vocals, live drums, live bass and even more keyboards.
The album and lead single, “Blind”, debuted in the UK Top 40 and were ranked #1 and “Track of the Week” by the NME respectively. Hercules & Love Affair is 2008's most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of pure pop by way of futuristic electronica and classic dance music, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive disco workouts.
Hercules and Love Affair live is Andrew, Kim Ann, Nomi, Morgan, Jason, Carter, Guy, and Andy.
tour dates
July 23 Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo

biography
Mute has licensed DFA recording artist Hercules & Love Affair for release in the USA. The debut album "Hercules & Love Affair" will be released in America on June 24, 2008. The album release is preceded by the first single "Blind" – already a dancefloor favorite – May 27, 2008.
Hercules & Love Affair is 2008's most exciting dancefloor concoction, an arthouse vision of pure pop by way of futuristic electronica and classic dance music, where beautiful, bruising harmonies and tensile rhythms collide in resurgent soundscapes and emotive disco workouts.
Called “A gloriously burnished fusion of 3 decades of classic dance music” by the UK's Mojo, the album was a top-40 UK chart debut. The NME calls the album “The most-blessed thing you’ll be freaking out to on the dancefloor,” and Vogue UK says “If Ziggy Stardust made house music it would sound like this.”
Hercules & Love Affair is Andrew Butler with Antony, Nomi, and Kim Ann. Butler emerged from making music for college-based dance projects into a fully-fledged recording artist, via the New York art scene. He hooked up with his friends from there, including Nomi, Kim Ann and Antony and Hercules & Love Affair is the result.
The album is co-produced by Andrew Butler with Tim Goldsworthy of DFA at Plantain Studios in the midst of Manhattan, New York City.
