(PR) Los Angeles-based band The 88 announced today a spring tour which includes opening for the B-52s, 311 and Matt Costa in support of their most recent CD, Not Only… But Also, released last fall. Tracks from Not Only…But Also have made waves on television, video games and online, continuing a trend The 88 began on their prior releases. Lead track “Coming Home” was heard in the premiere episode of 90210, while Gossip Girl showcased the piano-driven rocker “It’s A Lot”. The super-charged “Sons And Daughters” is a challenge to Rock Band 2 gamers.
And in keeping with their DIY roots, their unique video for “Coming Home”, in which they spent the bulk of the video’s budget on free fuel for passing motorists at a local gas station, was featured on Spin.com and Yahoo’s “Who’s Next”.
