BEN BRIDWELL A/K/A BIRDSMELL TO EMBARK ON FIRST EVER SOLO TOUR

BIRDSMELL 7″ VINYL SINGLES TO BE SOLD EXCLUSIVELY AT LIVE SHOWS


Ben Bridwell is taking a brief break from his role as leader of Band Of Horses this November to tour the South as a solo artist, Birdsmell. Full list of dates below. He says of the tour:

“While living in Minneapolis in 2008, I covered the George Harrison song, “Your Love Is Forever” with some buddies of mine. The track ended up being released on a Starbucks compilation. A few years later, I enlisted those same musicians to record some songs of mine that had been sitting around for far too long, some of which could be said to be uncomfortably silly and devoid of all reasonable taste. I wasn’t exactly in a rush to get them out to the discerning earholes of the public. Regardless, this project was pure enjoyment for me and it was nice to not give a damn about anything, but having fun recording these songs. I’ve now decided to take this approach on the road on the Birdsmell tour, which will be coming to a Deep Southern town near you this fall.

As far as the shows go, I absolutely do give a damn about playing for everyone and I will try very hard to make the shows enjoyable. To help with this, I’m bringing along one of my favorite songwriters, Bryan Cates to set it off each night. I’ve also enlisted a legitimate hype man in the form of Matt Gentling (of Archers of Loaf fame).

I’ve finally decided to unload a few of the those recordings, so check them out as you just might hear them along with more songs old and new on the Birdsmell tour. I hope to see you there!”

-Ben

BAND OF HORSES ADD MORE DATES TO U.S. SPRING TOUR

“(Band of Horses) conjure the embroidered-blue-jean countryrock of theEagles and spike it with punk noise and a 21st-century bloodshot optimism.”–ROLLING STONE Best of 2012

Band of Horses are gearing up for a busy spring season as they continue touring in support of their widely acclaimed fourth album, Mirage Rock.

In addition to their recently announced sets at Coachella and New Orleans’ annual Jazz Fest, the band has added headlining dates including a stop at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium, the Fox Theater in Oakland, and winding down with two nights at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC.

Mirage Rock was named #19 in Rolling Stone’s Best of 2012 list, in a rave that hailed the band’s unique ability to  “conjure the embroidered-blue-jean countryrock of the Eagles and spike it with punk noise and a 21st-century bloodshot optimism.”

Band of Horses’ not-to-be-missed live show will feature support from openers Jake Bugg, Futurebirds, Roadkill Ghost Choir and Josh Roberts & The Hinges on select dates throughout this tour.

BAND OF HORSES TO PLAY 2 NEW YORK SHOWS IN ONE DAY

DECEMBER 11 AT HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM & GRAND BALLROOM

Band of Horses will indulge each of the polar opposites of the band’s musical identity–a range described in the new Rolling Stone Hot List as “pure Southern California harmonies” to “fuzz-drenched frenzy”–with a very special one-time-only two shows in one night event December 11 at New York City’s Manhattan Center.

BoH’s very own NYC marathon will begin with a 7:00 p.m. special acoustic performance in the intimate confines of the Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom, after which the band will move to the building’s considerably larger Hammerstein Ballroom for a full-on electric set, with support provided by special guest Jason Lytle.

Pre-sales for both shows begin 10:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday, October 17. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, October 19. Keep an eye on www.bandofhorses.com for further details.

The NYC doubleheader is the latest in an ongoing frenzy of activity in the wake of the September 18 release of Mirage Rock (Brown/Columbia). Recent BoH highlights have included an appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York’s Central Park that concluded in an all star jam featuring the band alongside Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Black Keys and more, while upcoming events include a November UK/Europe tour, and the recently announced U.S. headline dates running through December 15 at The National in Richmond VA.

BAND OF HORSES ADD NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE DATES

Tickets For December 3-15 Shows On Sale This Weekend

Mirage Rock Out Now

“Mirage Rock is stacked with CSNY-style harmonies and incredibly pretty melodies… like a radiant slice of Laurel Canyon circa 1970 preserved in amber”–ROLLING STONE

“Mirage Rock is a step toward rock ‘n’ roll classicism for Band of Horses… an album of lilting melody and shimmering harmony”–THE NEW YORK TIMES

After four triumphant releases, and no matter where they go, it’s clear we can trust Band of Horses, one of America’s biggest and best rock and roll bands, to deliver.”–FILTER

Fresh off a whirlwind of activity surrounding the September 18 release of Mirage Rock (Brown/Columbia) including appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman (http://youtu.be/T_FKnnhum5s), Conan (http://youtu.be/2qGoPHHJzBI), sets on Live on Letterman and KCRW’s Berkeley Street Sessions and more, Band of Horses have confirmed a half dozen more North American headline dates. The new dates will follow the band’s appearance this weekend at the Global Citizen Festival in New York’s Central Park, an upcoming run on the Railroad Revival tour with Willie Nelson, and a November UK/Europe tour, and will run from December 3 at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor MI and wrapping December 15 at The National in Richmond VA.

Tickets for the six newly confirmed shows are on sale beginning Friday September 28. For specifics, check bandofhorses.com.

Reaction to Band of Horses’ Glyn Johns’ produced fourth album Mirage Rock has been overwhelmingly positive, with ROLLING STONE lauding first single “Knock Knock” as having “more going on under the hood than usual, implying the band’s upcoming LP will be its most rocking yet,” while ESQUIRE recently hailed ballad “Slow Cruel Hands Of Time” as a “perfectly sung warning against looking too far back… everything that’s great about Band of Horses in one easy ballad.”

BAND OF HORSES: “Knock Knock” VIDEO LIVE NOW

MIRAGE ROCK OUT SEPTEMBER 18 ON BROWN/COLUMBIA

ALL iTUNES PURCHASES TO RECEIVE iTUNES LP VERSION WITH EXCLUSIVE IN-STUDIO VIDEOS, MORE

VIDEO SAMPLES, ADDITIONAL CONTENT AVAILABLE AT www.bandofhorses.com

In the wake of its’ recent NPR Music First Watch premiere, Band Of Horses’ video for “Knock Knock,” the first single from new album Mirage Rock (Brown/Columbia) out September 18, has been unveiled for the world to see at HERE

Directed by Jared Eberhardt, “Knock Knock” features Band Of Horses’ Ben Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, Ryan Monroe, Bill Reynolds and Tyler Ramsey as subjects of a vintage nature film, running wild through the frontier of Salt Lake City, UT.

Director’s Statement: ”The ‘Knock Knock’ video was the perfect combination of three things. First of all as a fan, I had a genuine interest in making something that felt like the band had made it themselves, I didn’t want it to feel too slick. Second, I grew up in the area where we shot the video, when Band Of Horses wanted to shoot there I already had all the locations picked. And third, I wanted to pay tribute to the old nature films I remember from school, those old films were all about a bunch of guys going to exotic places and staging adventures, with very little craft or consideration to lighting or aesthetics. Shooting in the middle of the day, staging scenes in really artificial ways, strange eye lines from reading cue cards, etc. It was really fun and sometimes difficult to get my head around trying to make things look bad, but not too bad.”

Ben Bridwell on the video process: ”Jared really made us feel at ease, even in the planning stages before the shoot. He listened to our concerns and took extra care to make us feel like we stayed within our element, while at the same time pushing us to get good performances. It was a hell of a long day, but an exciting adventure for us – getting to see these beautiful parts of Utah and being around the great group of people that Jared hired for the shoot. It seems fitting that we’d finally get to shoot a video around Salt Lake City as we’ve got a song that pays tribute to the area called “The Great Salt Lake” from our first album. Better late than never.”

Mirage Rock is currently available for pre-order at iTunes, with all pre-orders receiving an instant download of “Knock Knock.” Additionally, every copy of Mirage Rock purchased via http://www.itunes.com/bandofhorses will receive the full iTunes LP version of the album, featuring exclusive videos of the band and legendary producer Glyn Johns making the record in the studio, and lyrics. The full iTunes LP content makes every iTunes purchase of Mirage Rock a special edition in its own right. A sampling of the exclusive video as well as other footage, photos and more can be seen at the newly revamped www.bandofhorses.com.

Having just completed a North American tour as special guests of My Morning Jacket, Band Of Horses will play a run of headlining dates in September followed by dates alongside Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson and John C. Reilly on the second annual Railroad Revival Tour. All tour dates below.

In the wake of the recently cancelled tour with Kings of Leon, Band of Horses have put together some last minute club shows in an effort to play in front of as many of their fans as possible in cities affected by the cancellations. The band posted the following note on their facebook page:

Hey there Friends Of BoH! We’re thrilled by all the support you’re showing us, and have been working behind the scenes to do everything we can to come see you. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to hit up all of the places we’d planned on visiting with Kings of Leon. BUT!!! We’re happy to announce that we’re going to play SOME SHOWS!!! Details are below. We are working on adding more, and will have another update very soon.

We would like to thank Kings Of Leon for the opportunity to play the shows we did, and wish them all the best.

Love, BoH
