Animal Collective fans looking forward to seeing the band at the Williamsburg Waterfront tonight will be disappointed to hear that she show's been called off. Dave "Avey Tare" Portner has laryngitis. From the band's Facebook:

Hey NYC, We really wish we didn't have to be writing this right now, but after taking Dave to the doctor this morning it turns out that he has laryngitis and unfortunately we are unable to play the show tonight. We are already in the middle of trying to reschedule NY dates in the next couple of months to make up for this cancellation. Due to circumstances beyond both our and the promoter’s control, we are unable to honor the tickets for tonight’s show. Fans that have tickets will be able to get full refunds at the place of purchase, and we will let everyone know as soon as we have new dates scheduled. Again, our sincere apologies to fans anticipating this show. We are always psyched to play NYC and will make it up to you.

Animal Collective have a month to rest up before their tour continues in Europe this November, including a stop at Pitchfork Music Festival Paris. (Tickets are on sale now.)

Watch the band perform "Today's Supernatural" at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival.
