BIG HEAD TODD AND THE MONSTERS
TO CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH HEADLINING SHOW
AT GREEN APPLE FESTIVAL APRIL 20 IN NYC AND
RELEASE OF NEW CD/DVD APRIL 22
In support of Earth Day 2008, BIG HEAD TODD AND THE MONSTERS will perform a free show at the third annual Green Apple Festival Sunday, April 20 in New York City’s Central Park. BHTM will headline the New York show (there are seven other Green Apple live concerts in various cities that day) with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder also on the bill. “My recording studio is solar-powered, and I believe everyone can make small personal changes that have big collective impacts,” says group frontman TODD PARK MOHR.
The hard-touring blues-rock group are on the road in support of their latest (and eighth overall) album ALL THE LOVE YOU NEED. In a move that has attracted national attention at a time when the record industry is rapidly changing, nearly a half million copies of the album have been distributed for free through various radio stations and magazines; it’s also available as a free download on the group’s site. On April 22, through an exclusive deal with Best Buy stores, fans will have another opportunity to pick up a new CD/DVD version of ALL THE LOVE YOU NEED (Big Records) The retail version includes the bonus track “Sugar Buzz” and an hour-long DVD that gives fans an in-depth look into the writing, rehearsals and making of the record through extensive interviews with all band members.
BIG HEAD TODD AND THE MONSTERS are one of those very special bands that defy genres and categories…a rock-n-roll band in the broadest sense–folk, blues, country, rhythm and blues, soul, contemporary, indie, alternative and everything in between. In a review of their last album Crimes of Passion–recorded in TODD’s solar-powered studio–The London Times described the band as “scandalously overlooked” and “as classy as American rock gets” (3/26/04).
