Velour Music Group is pleased to announce a headlining tour in support
of guitarist/songwriter Kaki King's anticipated fourth album, "Dreaming
Of Revenge." Following several appearances at the SXSW Festival, the
12-day tour will kick off March 21st at Seattle's Tractor Tavern, and
will wrap up April 12th at Washington, D.C.'s Nightclub 9:30.
Due out March 11th and produced by Grammy Award-winning musician and
producer Malcom Burn (Emmylou Harris, Peter Gabriel), "Dreaming Of
Revenge" follows 2006's critically-acclaimed "...Until We Felt Red."
"Red" found King branching out with songs that featured electric and
pedal-steel guitar, horns, and, for the first time, vocals. The New
York Times said the record sounded like "the abstract, dreamy, and
hypnotic end of alternative rock." "Revenge" picks up that thread,
continuing her evolution from acoustic instrumentalist to full-fledged,
multi-faceted songwriter. Previously, her whispery, ethereal voice was
used as mainly another element in her sonic arsenal. This time around,
King put more effort into both her vocals and the lyrics, and, as a
result, "Dreaming Of Revenge" is King's most accessible record to date.
Aside from work on "Revenge," King has had a busy and exciting few
months. King recorded two tracks for last year's Warner Bros. film
"August Rush", in which she appeared as a guitar-playing hand double.
Then, King was drafted by Sean Penn to compose original music for
several scenes in Penn's acclaimed film "Into the Wild," which also
features two of King's previously released songs. The score went on to
receive a coveted Golden Globe Nomination. Aside from Sean Penn, King
also has a fan in Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who asked her to
duet with him on "Ballad of The Beaconsfield Miners" from the Foos'
current album, "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace."
