Tornado Rider/Bobby Joe Ebola Fall 2011 Tour Dates Announced!
Hailing from the barren burgs of the East Bay Area in California, comes a wild sonic caravan of colorful and talented impresarios, Tornado Rider. Fresh off of recent Van’s Warped Tour dates, the wild and rock-steady fun barons with their high energy songs about dinosaurs, falcons, bison, and golden apples (think Toy Dolls meet AC/DC), have joined forces with the ever-clever and contagiously catchy, Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits (acoustic duo with satiric and theatrical bite – just coming off recent tours with Emily’s Armyand The Frustrators (feat. Mike Dirnt from Green Day), to tear through ‘The States’ on an epic break-neck 25 date tour! Keep reading for all of the tour dates.
Tornado Rider has an amazing and brand new album called “Jark Matter“ out on Silver Sprocket (available here:https://www.silversprocket.net/blog/we-make-stuff/)! The band has been relentless touring, and other than their recent Warped Tour stint, are regulars on the American music festival circuit. Catch them during this tour at the Blackwater Music Festivalalong with The Flaming Lips!
Bobby Joe Ebola has a ton of new songs they are chompin’ to play for you and a brand new music video ready in celebration of the tour kickoff! “Sweet Shit Of Christ”, is a daring and fun romp that follows the pitfalls of organized religion through the ages. It marks the fifth music video out of thirteen for the band, one for each song on their most recent LP, “F”. The video is directed by Jamie DeWolf (of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam, NPR’s Snap Judgement and the great grandson of L. Ron Hubbard) If you would like to feature the video on your website or another avenue, please contact Talia Miller atPRawr (talia@PRawr.com) to acquire a hi-def download or visit the Bobby Joe Ebola website for more info on the video below:
