Tweak Bird Kick Off Tour

09/22/2008
.
(PR) The Los Angeles by-the-way of Carbondale, IL sibling duo, Tweak Bird, kicked off their first U.S. tour Thursday that will include dates with Valient Thorr and Atlanta, GA's Black Tusk.

Tweak Bird's debut release (out last week), Reservations, is a sweeping seven song introduction to a band exploring the depths of heavy experimental, progressive and psych-infused rock. Produced under the helm of the impressive production team, Deaf Nephews (Melvins' Dale Crover and Altamont's Toshi Kasai), the songs on Reservations emanate a powerful brooding air—foreboding, almost threateningly so—of some new sonic assault about to be heaved upon the listener.

Mark Willett (Listen.com, Music for Robots) calls Tweak Bird "one of the best local bands in Los Angeles right now" and "their two man attack with baritone guitar and drums is just an aural slaughter", while Iann Robinson (None Louder) says Reservations "is one of the best slices of rock I've heard in a long time" and "is the musical equivalent of the weed smoke that filters out of your older brothers room. It's thick, potent and once you get a bit you want so much more.".

Heading up the West Coast and then across the nation to meet Valient Thorr and Black Tusk in Virginia, TWEAK BIRD are set unleash their "fuzzed out melodic low end riffs spliced with Geddy Lee singing during the peak of a welcome acid trip" (Crust Cake) on all that are willing to join them on their trip.
