Up and coming band, Hopewell, will be touring North America later this month and into July. A cast of characters including The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Blue Van, High Dials, The Sights, Mike Watt, Rosebuds and The Comas will be joining them on the road. The band that was founded by ex-Mercury Rev-er Jason Russo has a new album, Hopewell And The Birds Of Appetite, coming out June 14 on Tee Pee Records. (You know, the new home of The Brian Jonestown Massacre.) It was also produced by none other than Dave Fridman (Flaming Lips, Low) and Bill Racine (Rouge Wave, Phantom Planet). Hopwell’s site is also having a special pre-sale of the new album. If you order it there you are automatically entered into a contest where you can win two free tickets to the record release party in New York on June 25 and an autographed CD. Want to preview the album before you buy it? The whole record is streaming from their official site as well.
Happy listening!
