RED FANG stopped by CBS TV’s “The Late Show with David Letterman” this past Friday (1/10), marking the Portland-based rock group’s national, late-night television debut. The band performed “Blood Like Cream,” the first single off their new album WHALES AND LEECHES out on Relapse. RED FANG also made an appearance on VH1’s weekly comedy show “Best Week Ever” for a “Downton Abbey” skit and performed their song “Prehistoric Dog.”

Produced by Chris Funk (Decemberists) and mixed by Vance Powell (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Kings of Leon), WHALES AND LEECHES debuted at #66 on the Billboard Album Chart, marking the group’s highest sales week and their first debut in the Top 200. Featuring such guests as Mike Scheidt (Yob) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), WHALES AND LEECHES propels the group into the upper stratosphere of the heavy rock and metal elite and is generating RED FANG the best reviews of their career so far (see critical soundbites link below).
With their intense live performances, unique brand of humor, catchy songwriting and independent attitude, RED FANG—BRYAN GILES (Guitar/Vocals) AARON BEAM (Bass/Vocals) DAVID SULLIVAN (Guitar) and JOHN SHERMAN (Drums)–show no signs of slowing down in 2014. The group are currently on a European tour and return to the U.S. mid-February before kicking off an extensive European trek through April. Expect RED FANG to announce U.S. summer touring plans soon and for all dates, visit: http://redfang.net/live.html.
