Brooklyn by way of Japan-based band Peelander-Z has announced five weeks of fall tour dates in support of its latest album Space Vacation, out now on Austin’s Chicken Ranch Records label. See below for dates. Venerable blog Brooklyn Vegan recently posted “Get Glasses,” the latest single from the record. Check it out streaming and available for download HERE.

2012 has been a great year for Peelander-Z so far. Comprised of color–coded band members Peelander–Yellow, Peelander–Red, Peelander–Green (and at various times Peelander–Pink and Peelander–Black), Peelander–Z came off of a stint as the band all of the other bands had to see on last Summer’s Vans Warped Tour and they haven’t slowed down since.

Recently the band appeared on the cover of Performer Magazine, played the inaugural Great Googa Mooga festival in Prospect Park, Brooklyn (where NBC’s “1st Look” caught up with them) and now can be found in the pages of the Summer issue of Paper Magazine (see photo above).

Peelander-Yellow of Peelander-Z is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.

“Plastic Fantastic” is the first single from the debut self-titled album by TKTTSM.





+++

Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock duo TKTTSM is set to release its debut self-titled album on October 16th.

Comprised of Johanna Stahley and Owen O’Mahony, TKTTSM balances the weight of O’Mahony’s instrumentation with Stahley’s skewed pop vocals for a perfect representation of this band’s love of exploration, animals, exercise, and freedom, and their dislike of cops, politicians, financial institutions and any other power hungry villains.

Musically, Stahley and O’Mahony share a love of pop, noise, experimentation, and improvisation. Lyrics are co-written with a stream of consciousness approach, and the music is born in a similar fashion. Their debut album is a mural of the times we live in, and the things we fight for and against: love, death, materialism and truth.

“I’m a little scared of it!” Stahley says of the record.

O’Mahony’s confident approach to the direction of TKTTSM’s sound comes from a long history as an accomplished touring musician who has played with Jesse Malin, Brendan James and Esmée Denters among many others.

Outside of TKTTSM, Stahley maintains a more conventional songwriting career. Her song “Nothing I Would Change” is currently featured in a national commercial for Lowe’s, and another tune, “I Can” was the theme song for four seasons of “Ruby” on the Style Network.

For now, though, TKTTSM is focusing on getting the word out about its debut album – an appropriate soundtrack for these trying times.  The album’s first single “Plastic Fantastic” is streaming now.

TKTTSM is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic to talk to the band or for more information.

Red Wanting Blue performs “Audition” on “The Late Show with David Letterman”

Columbus, Ohio-band Red Wanting Blue will launch a five-week fall tour on September 17th with a taping of a session for popular music website Daytrotter.  The recording session will also stream live at 4:30PM Eastern that day at daytrotter.com. See below for the entire “From The Vanishing Point” Fall 2012 Tour itinerary.

It has been a great year for Red Wanting Blue, which included the band’s network television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman in July. The appearance (see it here) is a milestone for the band as it continues non-stop touring behind its current album From The Vanishing Point, released in January.

Red Wanting Blue is also looking forward to a performance for the NPR program “Mountain Stage” which will tape on November 4th in Huntington, WV with fellow guests Dr. Dog, The Mountain Goats, and Spirit Family Reunion. The concert will air on more than 150 NPR affiliates nationwide in December.

For those who have not had the chance to catch a Red Wanting Blue show, the band has made a soundboard recording of its recent sold-out show at City Winery in New York available for free download via Noisetrade at http://noisetrade.com/redwantingblue.  This link is free to re-post and share.

Since the release of From The Vanishing Point, Red Wanting Blue has seen a steady increase in attention being paid to the sound that band leader Scott Terry has been bringing to America for over a decade.  With an advance sell-out at the 1400-capacity House of Blues in Cleveland to a Top 10 debut on the Billboard “Heatseekers” chart, Red Wanting Blue’s story is a textbook case of local boys making good.

Scott Terry of Red Wanting Blue is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
