JURASSIC 5 PREPARE TO WALK “THIN LINE” WITH MYA;
GROUP TO HEADLINE OVERSEAS SPRING TOUR,
FOLLOWED BY MAINSTAGE SLOT ON THIS SUMMER’S LOLLAPALOOZA
As they gear up for a spring headlining overseas tour and a mainstage slot on this summer’s much-anticipated Lollapalooza, JURASSIC 5 will release the second single from their critically acclaimed and successful Power In Numbers album on March 4. Titled “Thin Line, “ the song captures the tension that often exists in platonic male-female relationships. For the special single version, JURASSIC 5–MC’s Marc 7, Zaakir (Soup), Chali 2na, and Akil and DJ’s Nu Mark and Cut Chemist–unite with multi-platinum singer Mya.
JURASSIC 5 launch their UK and European tour March 2 in Bristol, England and will conclude with a show at Red Box in Dublin. The trek, already highlighted in advance by the 3/22 sold-out show at the Brixton Academy in England, will encompass performances in such countries as Germany, France, Belgium, Scotland and the Netherlands.
This summer, JURASSIC 5 join rock heavyweights Jane’s Addiction, Audioslave, Incubus and Queens of the Stone Age to head up the mainstage talent of Perry Farrell’s Lollapalooza tour. More information about the pioneering festival can be found atwww.lollapalooza.com.
JURASSIC 5 have been mixing live shows in the U.S. and Japan with high-profile TV appearances on the Late Show With David Letterman, Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and, most recently, Jimmy Kimmel Live with a knock-out two-song performance (the album’s first single “What’s Golden” and another Power In Numbers highlight, “Freedom”). In a review of their hometown sold-out show at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, Dean Kuipers noted in the Los Angeles Times (1/13/03): “…along comes South Central-bred Jurassic 5 to prove that its charismatic ‘positive’ rap is simply a better party. From the opening beats of ‘I Am Somebody’ to the last chorus of ‘What’s Golden,’ the six-man crew reveled in a surge of affection Saturday that had the capacity crowd on its feet and the Wiltern’s vast balcony in an alarming bounce…“
