Atlas Genius - the Adelaide,
Australia-based indie band that had sold more than 50,000 downloads of its
breakout hit "Trojans" before signing to
Warner Bros. Records earlier this year - will kick off its first-ever U.S. tour
on August 11 with a performance at CD101 Summerfest at LC Pavilion in Columbus,
OH. The run will include several West Coast dates with Animal Kingdom and radio
shows in Seattle and Portland. See below for initial tour dates; additional
shows will be announced shortly.
"Back Seat," the new video from Atlas
Genius, premieres today on Paper Magazine's website. The
song is one of three tracks on the band's debut EP, Through The
Glass, which was produced, engineered and mixed by Atlas Genius in
their home studio. The collection also includes "Trojans,"which spent
four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the listener-generated Alt-18 countdown of
SiriusXM's Alt-Nation.
"Trojans" has also been added
by Music Choice, KNDD/Seattle, KNRK/Portland, WWCD/Columbus, XTRA/San Diego,
KITS/San Francisco and numerous other modern rock stations. An acoustic video
of "Trojans"premiered on MTV2 and the home pages of MTV,
MTV2, mtvU, MTV Hive and MTV Buzzworthy.
NYLON praised Atlas Genius' "double
whammy of high-flying pop melodies and instantly catchy lyrics" and Billboard tipped
the band as part of "The Next Wave" of up-and-coming alternative
bands. The band members are currently at work in their home studio on their
full-length debut, which is due out this fall.
