SCION AV PRESENTS RED FANG’S SPRING TOUR “SITUATION: AWESOME!”
PORTLAND-BASED BAND RETURN TO THE ROAD FOR FIRST 2014 U.S. OUTING
Scion Audio Visual presents Red Fang’s Spring tour, Situation: AWESOME!, the Portland band’s first Stateside outing in 2014. The one-month trek kicks off May 16 at Slim’s in San Francisco and includes a stop at Scion AV’s Rock Fest in Pomona on May 17.
As part of the Scion AV-sponsored tour, Red Fang will release a new single titled “The Meadows” in early May, with a limited edition 7-inch available along the tour. A video for the song will arrive during the Situation: AWESOME! tour.
Red Fang released Whales and Leeches in October, with the eleven-song album quickly becoming the band’s best-selling and most critically acclaimed release to date. Alternative Press described the album as “bigger, bolder, heavier, catchier and even more savagely fun,” Stereogum said the release “takes flight and soars,” while Magnet Magazine said Whales and Leeches “is a monumental success – a clear line from Red Fang’s earliest recordings to it latest.”
The band performed single “Blood Like Cream” on The Late Show with David Letterman in January (http://youtu.be/bwnGjbGEE_s) and also issued a hilarious video for the song, featuring Portlandia creator/Late Night with Seth Meyers’ bandleader Fred Armisen and the band members during an unusual zombie invasion ( http://youtu.be/elfuaxHQWlQ).
A Twitter (Twitter.com/ScionAV) sweepstakes will be ongoing throughout the tour, with two pairs being given away per show.

Cool, good on Letterman for letting them play on his show.

I agree! Did you see Paul Shaffer playing the keyboards for Red Fang… (to the left side of the video) he was having a Metal ball! LOL! \m/\m/

Paul Schaffer looked like he was. Doesn’t he get to play with all the bands that appear on the show? I remember back in the 80s, The Bangles singing without their instruments and when the Fabulous Thunderbirds were on, it was just the singer and the guitarist. Still, I bet Schaffer loved it.

Yup, as far as I know and have seen through the years, Paul Schaffer does perform in some capacity with each musical guest on Letterman. Whoa! I also checked the age of Paul Schaffer, he’s 64 years old. Long live Paul Schaffer! \m/\m/
