We missed the Antlers set at the main street stage of the After the Jump Fest (pictured above), but we caught up with Peter, Darby and Michael at Sharon Van Etten’s Zebulon show last Wednesday (recording coming soon!).
Today it was formally announced what we had learned during that conversation — that bassist Justin Stivers is leaving the Antlers to dedicate full time to his solo endeavor Pet Ghost Project. Justin’s final performance with the Antlers will be at Union Pool on July 17th at a Jezebel Showcase. Also appearing at the July 17 show are our friends The Loom and old friends Spanish Prisoners.
Peter is currently working on replacing Justin in the Antlers, and based upon our information, there should be some interesting new developments in the personnel of the Antlers.
Hey Dan: Thanks for recommending I check out Antlers. Caught them last night in Baltimore. Very nice set!
Great to hear. I see from your site that you recorded them. I’m anxious to hear that.
