Alpha Rev is hitting the road with British Indie Rock group One Eskimo. Kicking off in St. Louis, with more dates still to be announced and a single ("New Morning") climbing the charts, currently sitting in a Top Ten position at AAA radio, the tour is shaping up to be one that fans will not want to miss.Alpha Rev will make their way through the Midwest making stops in major cities including Nashville and Cincinnati.
Led by singer and lyricist Casey McPherson, Alpha Rev made its major label album debut with New Morning, which was produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, The Strokes) and arrived in stores and at online retailers on April 20.
Composed of McPherson, along with Derek Dunivan (guitar), Tommy Roalson (drums), Dave Wiley (cello), Alex Dunlap (bass), Brian Batch (violin) and Derek Morris (keyboards), Alpha Rev formed in 2005 and their songs have been featured in various television series including Melrose Place and Bravo's NYC Prep. The band itself made a guest appearance on ABC Family's hit series Greek on March 15 performing two songs from the New Morning CD. They recently worked with acclaimed director Mark Pellington (U2, Springsteen, Flaming Lips, Pearl Jam) on the video for their debut single and title track "New Morning."
