AUGUST & SEPTEMBER TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
On August 21st, prolific singer/songwriter Shawn Rosenblatt, better know as Netherfriends, will release Middle America on pink vinyl via Chicago-based Kilo Records. The previously digitally-released album, a rarity for strictly wax Kilo Records, will now be available in local record shops for all consumers that appreciate the tangible. From the spring of 2010 to 2011 Shawn, sole creator of Netherfriends, toured the United States writing and recording a song in every state. This is the first collection to be released in LP format.
During the months of August and September Netherfriends will embark on a cross country tour. What better way to promote a two year-long touring project than more touring? Previously with short stints of additional backing members, Shawn has turned his act into a one-man show that is undeniably fun. Using sampler, drum pad, keyboard, guitar, and self-made percussion box (equipped with pots, metal poles, and wood-blocks) Shawn is able to create intricate layers of sounds that evolve into songs that even the late great James Brown would shake a feather to. As a special treat to the city that helped create Netherfriends, Chicago, Shawn will perform Middle America in its entirety with full backing band. This will be a one night only record release celebration not to miss.
