They’ll be in the States for the I’ll Be Your Mirror festival in Asbury Park this fall, so the doomy British trio Portishead has decided to play a slew of shows around the country in October—and New York City gets them first, with a pair of shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom on October 4 and 5. Tickets went on presale earlier this afternoon (note that for the October 4 show, only seats in the balcony (which come to $82.50 with service charges) are available at present); they go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. Above, a clip of the jarring Third standout “Machine Gun” from the group’s 2008 appearance at Coachella. In case you, you know, need convincing or anything.
