RETURN TO THE U.S. FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN TOUR,
FEATURED PERFORMANCES AT MAJOR EUROPEAN ROCK FESTIVALS
AND HEADLINING KERRANG! AWARDS WEEK GIG;
THE DALLAS OBSERVER MUSIC AWARDS
Touring non-stop throughout 2007, FAIR TO MIDLAND are continuing to build on the momentum of their mesmerizing live shows, passionate fan response around the globe and their first major label release FABLES OF A MAYFLY: WHAT I TELL YOU THREE TIMES IS TRUE (Serjical Strike/Universal Records). After a very successful run of European dates completed in August–including appearances at the Wacken, M’era Luna and Metal Hammer festivals, sold-out tour dates with Dir en grey and a prestigious headlining slot during Kerrang! Awards Week in the U.K.–FAIR TO MIDLAND has returned to the U.S. for key headlining shows and an extensive fall tour with Chevelle. A featured appearance at this year’s San Diego Street Scene festival in late September has also been confirmed.
FAIR TO MIDLAND’s eclectic virtuosity, mixed with lead-heavy riffs and soaring vocals, can be heard throughout the band’s critically lauded FABLES OF A MAYFLY. The band was recently voted the “Best Metal Band 2007” during the Dallas Observer Music Awards, and was cited for “cultivating an international following” and “singer Darroh Sudderth, guitarist Cliff Campbell and the rest of this instrumentally nimble-fingered quintet just keep getting better, heavier and more popular” (Daryl Smyers, Dallas Observer, 8/16/07). FAIR TO MIDLAND was also recently selected by the Smashing Pumpkins to open the first two nights (July 15 and 16) of the Pumpkins’ West Coast residency at The Fillmore in San Francisco.
