Alberta Cross will tour with Them Crooked Vultures this May. The dates come on the heels of a tour with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and follow the band's opening slot for Ben Harper.Alberta Cross took shape when Sweden-born guitarist/vocalist Petter Ericson Stakee and bassist Terry Wolfers, a Brit himself, began jamming together in London's east end.
Their forthcoming album, Broken Side of Time, is born of the struggles and setbacks the band faced along the way. The album serves as Alberta Cross' official introduction to the U.S. As Stakee explains, "It's kind of a desperation album, a darker album; it's definitely angrier. We've been in a crazy place during the whole album and you can hear that."
