BLACK GOLD
TO SUPPORT ROONEY
ON U.S. SUMMER TOUR
CURRENT SINGLE CONTINUES
TO “SHINE” AT RADIO
BLACK GOLD will be spending their summer on the open road. The New York-based band is set to support Rooney on a cross-country trek kicking off June 16 in San Diego, CA as they continue to highlight material from their debut album, RUSH.
Hailed by SPIN as “breathlessly experimental” with “sweeping orchestral rock”, RUSH features the current single “Shine” which continues to impact Hot AC and AAA radio stations across the country and remixes of which by StoneBridge and Dave Audé are currently putting it at #28 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The glistening remixes of the track about faith and love is also gaining on the U.K. Commercial Club Pop and Upfront Club Chart, where it currently sits at #11 and #10 respectively.
This summer outing with California rock bands Rooney and The Young Veins will bring BLACK GOLD to the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on June 19 and Slim’s in San Francisco on June 22, as well as multiple other CA plays. The tour will move across the country to the east coast making a July 14 New York City stop at the famed Fillmore at Irving Plaza before ending in Poughkeepsie, NY on July 22 at The Chance. See below for the full tour dates.
Led by ERIC RONICK (lead vocals/keyboards) and THAN LUU (drums/vocals) and rounded out with Kerry Wayne James on bass and Alistair Paxton on guitar, BLACK GOLD have shared the stage with the likes of The Pixies, Echo & the Bunnymen, Neko Case, the Scissor Sisters, The Hold Steady, Panic at the Disco and most recently, Sherwood. In the last six months, BLACK GOLD has kept busy touring across the world, including Australia, the U.K. and the U.S.
