Dublin’s newest live music venue The Workman’s Club is very pleased to host On The Record presents PVT (formerly Pivot), who will be performing on Thursday September 9th, 2010. The Australian band return with their highly anticipated new album Church With No Magic in early August on Warp Records. In support of the release, the band are undertaking a big European tour and this date will be their only Irish appearance. Tickets are priced at €13.50 and are available from Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.ie

Out on the road for the first time this year, this is a chance to be one of the first to experience the new material live. Church With No Magic is an album that builds upon the anthemic synth-driven instrumental movements for which PVT are renowned, along with the power of their visceral live shows. The sound has been brilliantly tempered and expanded by the trio into brooding, melancholic experimental pop - an amalgam of rock synthesis, propulsive rhythms and huge melodic strength.

One of Ireland's most intriguing acts, HALVES, have been confirmed to support PVT at the inaugural live show at The Workman’s Club in Dublin tomorrow, Thursday September 9^th. The band will open for the broody Aussie electro merchants in a performance that will christen the much anticipated new venue, situated at 10 Wellington Quay, close to The Clarence Hotel. PVT (formerly PIVOT), have just released their new album Church With No Magic and the Workman’s date is the only Irish appearance on their European tour. The album builds upon the anthemic synth-driven instrumental movements for which PVT are renowned. Their live sound has been expanded by the trio into brooding, melancholic experimental pop - an amalgam of rock synthesis, propulsive rhythms and huge melodic strength.

Halves blend a vast range of instruments, acoustic and electronic, and guarantee an evocative, cinematic live experience. Their three releases to date have met with critical success, as well as earning them ardent fans from Tokyo to Seattle.  In 2009 Halves made their debut tv performance, topping the viewers choice poll on RTE's 'Other Voices' series playing alongside the likes of Elbow and Lisa Hannigan. More recently the band played 4 shows at the SouthbySouthWest Music Festival in Austin Texas with great response. Their eagerly awaited debut album is currently scheduled to be released in autumn 2010. Recorded  in Montreal with Efrim Menuck of “Godspeed You! Black Emperor.” Through a mixture of organic samples, strings, brass and choir the album has a surreal and dark beauty. The record also contains guest vocalists Amy Millan (Stars/Broken Social Scene) & Katie Kim.
