PEPPER ANNOUNCE DATES FOR CO-HEADLINING JÄGERMEISTER MUSIC TOUR WITH PENNYWISE/LAUNCH THEIR “FREEZE REMIX CONTEST”

PEPPER has amassed a large and loyal following through their non-stop touring since arriving in the Southern California after leaving Hawaii’s Big Island 11 years ago. In the past year, the band made the rounds through Europe twice–alongside Flogging Molly in the spring and Less Than Jake in the fall–spent their summer celebrating the release of PINK CRUSTACEANS AND GOOD VIBRATIONS by hitting US amphitheatres with longtime friends Slightly Stoopid and headlined the very first “Here Comes the LAW Tour” which featured other Law Records artists The Supervillains and Passafire (wrapping in January). PEPPER–BRET BOLLINGER (Vocals/Bass), KALEO WASSMAN (Vocals/Guitar) and YESOD WILLIAMS (Drums/Vocals)–have now announced their spring tour with their friends in the legendary SoCal punk band Pennywise, as part of the Jägermeister Music Tour. The tour kicks off on April 13 in Seattle, WA and goes through May, concluding in Los Angeles on June 3.

Of touring with Pennywise, Yesod Williams says: “I grew up listening to Pennywise in Kona because they would always be featured on Taylor Steele surf videos. It was our soundtrack we’d listen to while heading to the beach. Co-headlining this tour with them is a milestone for us.”

In addition to tour news, PEPPER has also joined forces with MixMatchMusic for the “Freeze Remix Contest,” which hopes to inspire the musician and producer within their fans. Pepper has installed the Remix Wizard to www.myspace.com/pepperlive and will load stems of album track “Freeze” there. Fans can mix and match the various parts to create entirely new versions of the song. All remixes are published to the widget for all other fans to listen to, vote on and share. The band will choose the top 3 remixes based on their creativity, innovation and “dub effect.” For additional info, go to: www.myspace.com/pepperlive or www.MixMatchMusic.com.

PEPPER has sold over 400,000 records independently, their music has appeared in many movie, television and video game soundtracks and they have had a number of album tracks appear on the Billboard “Hot Modern Rock Tracks” chart. Their fifth studio album PINK CRUSTACEANS AND GOOD VIBRATIONS was released via their self-run label LAW Records, in association with Controlled Substance Sound Labs/MRI distribution, in July 2008 and is filled with the band’s trademark rock-funk-reggae hybrid grooves. The album was produced by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers–who also took to the boards on the band’s fourth album No Shame–and engineered by Wyn Davis at Total Access Studio in Redondo Beach. Their song “Your Face” from their album No Shame is now available for Guitar Hero World Tour, after first being made available as part of a free trio of downloadable reggae songs from Controlled Substance Sound Labs during the 2008 holiday season.
