HINY TOY GUNS AND THE DIRTY HEADS CO-HEADLINE TOUR ODYSSEY POWERED BY PUREVOLUME
| album III. episode three. somewhere to hide |
Artist Direct premiered the behind the scenes for their video 'Somewhere to Hide.' Last month, the band announced their co-headline with the Dirty Heads for Tour Odyssey Powered by PureVolume. The North American winter tour will have support from up-and-coming San Francisco alt/pop/rock bandMidi Matilda, as well as emerging dance/rock band Oh No Fiasco. The month-long run kicks off onFebruary 13th in Dallas, TX and wraps up in Denver, CO on March 8th. The bands have partnered with PureVolume, which will provide exclusive content from all bands throughout the tour, ticket and merchandise giveaways, and more. While Shiny Toy Guns and the Dirty Heads both call Five Seven Music their label home, their sounds are quite different, which promises to provide an exciting and eclectic night of music for concertgoers.
Last year Shiny Toy Guns recently released their latest album III, which features the first new material by the original line-up in five years. Production on III is lush and dramatic, ranging from driving tracks like "Somewhere To Hide," "Waiting Alone" and "Speaking Japanese" into a sonic pendulum swing to the genre bending "Fading Listening." The band teamed up with legendary mixer Tony Maserati (Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keyes) to finalize and sharpen the new 2012 sound of the band. Unlike any other group out there today, SHINY TOY GUNS music is driving rock and electro spearheaded by a male and female vocal courtesy of Chad Petree and Carah Faye. III was heralded as "impeccable...one of 2012's best" by Associated Press.
