Sinister Are in Austin All Week For SxSW and then heading to the midwest for shows in Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, NYC
Animals,
the new album from Vancouver's Bend
Sinister, will be in stores tomorrow and fans can listen all day long at
The
Big Takeover today! The 10-track album is the follow up to the band's
critically acclaimed and American debut 2012's Small Fame. Bend Sinister
recorded Animals in San Diego at Signature Sound and teamed up
with Grammy-nominated producer Joe Marlett. To kick off the album launch, the
band partnered with American Songwriter to premiere their first single,
"Fancy Pants." They followed up with a great video for their second single,
"Teacher" which has the band doing what they do best - playing live. The folks
at Crave Online loved the video and gave it an awesome premiere in
February. The band is now touring in support of Animals and can be
found in Austin all week for SxSW. Their official showcase is on March 15 at the
Velveeta Room, but they will also be playing at Social Good Space on March 11,
at the Canada House Showcase on March 13 and have been in talks to perform
additional shows all week. Following SxSW, the band will drive their van to the
east coast for a run of dates in St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburgh and more,
including two shows in New York. All tour dates are listed
below.
Before heading into the studio to begin working on
Animals, Bend Sinister had quite a busy 2012-2013. Their North
American tour in support of Small Fame brought them to CMJ and SxSW, as
well as other major markets across the U.S. The band toured constantly behind
Small Fame hitting Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, Chicago,
Nashville and more. Radio and press became fans of the band instantly. Bend
Sinister saw adds come in across the U.S. including plays on KROQ (Los Angeles),
KCXX (San Bernandino), KTCL (Denver), KXTE (Las Vegas) and more. The band
premiered the album on AOL Spinner and with a feature in Alternative
Press. Shortly after they were stopping by and performing at
Daytrotter in Iowa, Playboy Radio and AXS TV in Los
Angeles, Acoustic Cafe in Ann Arbor and JB TV in Chicago.
Paper Magazine premiered the band's first video from the album for their
song "Quest for Love" which featured adult film star James Deen. The video was
quickly picked up by other outlets seeing additional coverage at Death and
Taxes, Alt Sounds, Culture Brats and more.
