ANNOUNCE NEW FALL U.S. TOUR WITH GIRL IN A COMA
ON HEELS OF UK TREK WITH NEKO CASE
IN SUPPORT OF DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM OUT NOW
‘RUSH’
FEARLESS TV PERFORMANCE
TO AIR SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
After completing their current tour through the U.K. with Neko Case, New York-based duo BLACK GOLD—multi-instrumentalists ERIC RONICK and THAN LUU—will embark on a jaunt through the States this fall supporting the San Antonio, TX rock band Girl in a Coma, as they continue to highlight material from their debut full length album RUSH.
Kicking off the tour September 28 in Atlanta, BLACK GOLD will hit Charlotte and Philadelphia before an October 2 show at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. The duo will make their way west for a six week trek that hits Los Angeles at the Troubadour on November 1. The tour will wrap in the Southwest the first week in November. Additional dates are awaiting confirmation. For updates, please visit www.myspace.com/blackgold.
For BLACK GOLD, the past year has been quite a busy one. In addition to releasing RUSH–hailed by SPIN as "breathlessly experimental" with “sweeping orchestral rock” and also praised by People, URB.COM, MetroMix, Big Shot and more–the duo made high-profile appearances at All Points West and SXSW. They also toured throughout the U.S. and shared the stage with the likes of Scissor Sisters, The Hold Steady, Panic at the Disco and Lydia, among others. The video for the keenly constructed, keys-driven “Plans & Reveries” won mtvU’s weekly online competition “The Freshmen” earlier this year and the infectious analog synth strut of “Detroit” was made available as an iTunes “Single of the Week” last fall.
In other news, BLACK GOLD is set to perform “Plans & Reveries” on Fearless Music TV Saturday, September 19 on FOX 5 in New York at 12:30am. For those not in the NYC area, go to www.fearlessmusic.com/channels to find the local station and time the episode will air.
