Art in Manila embarks on tour with Rilo Kiley and the Good Life + video!

Art in Manila, the new band from former Azure Ray singer Orenda Fink, is embarking on a tour that features dates with Rilo Kiley and the Good Life. In fact, for Rilo Kiley's tour, Orenda Fink will be a member of Rilo Kiley's live band, playing guitars and keyboards, singing...even doing some trumpet work!

At times, Art in Manila travels the lush path set forth by her previous work, however, it's been retrofitted with more edge and backbone. On their debut LP, Set the Woods on Fire (out now on Saddle Creek Records), the band flirts playfully with genre wanderlust without ever abandoning cohesion. Moody slow-burners follow four-to-the-floor rockers which butt up against serene ballads. It's great stuff, and Orenda's crack band (featuring Adrianne Verhoeven from The Anniversary on keys and backing vocals as well as members of the Good Life and McCarthy Trenching) puts on a compelling live show. We are setting up interviews with Orenda right now, and guest list passes are going quickly.
