FAIR TO MIDLAND
TO CLOSE OUT 2007 WITH HEADLINING TOUR
LAUNCHING DECEMBER 6 IN LOS ANGELES
FAIR TO MIDLAND has announced their first headlining tour, hitting selected cities across the US during December. Kicking off on Thursday Dec. 6th at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles, the band—Darroh Sudderth (vocals), Cliff Campbell (guitar), Jon Dicken (bass), Brett Stowers (drums) and Matt Langley (keys/electronics)—is confirmed to tour throughout the West, Midwest and South, including gigs in Phoenix, Albuquerque, Madison, St. Paul, Jackson MS, Dallas and Houston. The band is also set to perform at the KIOZ (San Diego) Rock Before Christmas Fest on Dec. 7th, alongside Avenged Sevenfold, Suicidal Tendencies and Atreyu.
2007 has been a very successful year for the Texas alt-rockers, whose music and live performances have been hailed by critics and fans alike as “utterly captivating” (Kerrang! 9/1/07), “potent” (Los Angeles Times 5/1/07) and “huge—no, gargantuan” (Alternative Press 10/07). FAIR TO MIDLAND have been touring non-stop around the US and in Europe throughout the year, with featured appearances at this year’s Coachella and Bamboozle, as well as at the UK’s Download Festival and on the main stages of both Germany’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park mega-fests. The band has also toured this year with the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins, Serj Tankian, Chevelle, Dir En Grey and Flyleaf.
FAIR TO MIDLAND’S debut album FABLES FROM A MAYFLY (Serjical Strike/Universal Republic) entered Billboard’s New Artist chart at #3 this past June, and includes their current hit single “Tall Tales Taste Like Sour Grapes” and modern rock hit “Dance of the Manatee.”
