SLEIGH BELLS IN CONCERT:
Noise pop duo Sleigh Bells are masters of leveraging minimal musical elements to maximum effect. Their anthemic tracks often employ little more than a hard-hitting beat, the distorted guitar work of Derek Edward Miller, and the adrenaline-filled vocals of Alexis Krauss, but despite their stripped-down makeup they always sound larger than life. From the fuzzed-out stomp of "Infinity Guitars" to the pummel-pop of "Comeback Kid", Sleigh Bells' high-energy sound is matched by their equally electrifying performances on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Sleigh Bells, a.k.a. Alexis Krauss and Derek Edward Miller, formed in Brooklyn in 2008. They released a self-titled debut EP in 2009, and soon afterwards signed to M.I.A.'s N.E.E.T. record label for their 2010 debut full-length album Treats. The album cracked the Top 40 of the Billboard 200, propelled by considerable blog buzz and catchy singles like "Tell 'Em". A slew of high-profile festival appearances followed, including performances at Coachella, Primavera Sound, and the Pitchfork Music Festival.? Their 2012 sophomore album Reign of Terror was an even bigger success, peaking at No. 12 in the US and landing on charts throughout Europe. In 2013 Sleigh Bells released their third album Bitter Rivals to another round of critical praise, supporting the release with a 30 date US tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"...Sleigh Bells and Alexis Krauss are refreshingly charismatic and one of the only groups that actually knows how to put on a rock show. Their sound is stripped down but refined. Minimalist but full."
"Saw Sleigh Bells on the last show of their tour and they were incredible. Brought all the energy of their recordings times 1000."
"This was my first Sleigh Bells show and it was incredible! The crowd was so into it. I left a sweaty mess. Her voice, the beat, and the guitar?! I didn't know if I wanted to lose my mind, dance, or crowd surf."

Best show I've been to all year! The openers were dope as well. Can't wait to see them again.
Their performance is everything you want it to be! The opening act, N3ptune, was fantastic.
As always Sleigh Bells never cease to amaze me in their live shows. I've seen them before. My favorite band out of New York. The whole experience was amazing considering it was only a Tuesday night. Wow!! For a more intimate setting with your favorite band/artist the 9:30 club always delivers...
i danced so hard the whole time my neck is still hurting days later. amazing energy. great opening acts, as well.
Sleigh Bells brought so much fun and intensity. The sound was amazing, especially with the addition of a live drummer. The venue was perfect for this type of event. I will be seeing Sleigh Bells every time they come within a few hours of me. One of the best live bands I've seen.
The venue was extremely doting to us, the bands were on point with their guitar shredding goodness and supreme vocals. The openers were fantastic. Sleigh Bells freaking rocks!
Sleigh bells puts on the best show and the energy consumes the crowd!
my neck hurt the next day from all the head banging. I couldn't have asked for a better show.
Sleigh Bells was my favorite show of all time. Their energy and intensity was 100 percent the whole show. It was such an amazing experience and I can't wait to see them again.
Immediately one of the best shows I've attended. The intimate venue, the bars, the company, and most of all the band made it all a perfect return to live shows. Though, I've been wanting to see Sleigh Bells for a few years, so I'm biased..
