Started in 1999 by Les Savy Fav bassist Syd Butler as a means of releasing the band’s Cat and the Cobra LP, Frenchkiss Records has since launched the careers of Local Natives, The Hold Steady, Passion Pit, The Antlers, and more, as well as ushering in another decade of roaring post-hardcore from Butler’s band.

For the first time in over two years, LSV hit the stage earlier this year for two nights of chaos one could only expect to see from the ever-theatrical Tim Harrington and his backing band. Today, the label has announced that they’ll be returning to the stage for yet another set alongside fellow Frenchkissers The Dodos (playing their 2008 album Visiter in full), Eleanor Friedberger, and Diet Cig, among others yet to be announced.

Tickets for the Brooklyn show go on sale this Friday—you can grab ’em here.
