The Willowz will embark on a month-long U.S. tour on April 1st in support of their latest album, Everyone (Dim Mak/Downtown Records). The band will join up with Nebula and Lionize for the first two weeks and head out on their own for most of the remaining dates. (See below for tour itinerary.)
THE Willowz were formed in 2002 by Anaheim, California teens Richie James Follin and Jessica Anne Reynoza. They recorded a 7-inch for legendary Posh Boy Records, produced by Follin's stepfather, Paul Kostabi (White Zombie, Psychotica, Y.G.M., Detours), and hit the road immediately afterward.
Their self-titled full-length debut was released in 2003 and attracted the attention of director Michel Gondry, who featured songs from it in his Oscar-winning film, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," and on its GRAMMY®-nominated soundtrack. Gondry also directed a video for "Meet Your Demise" and featured songs from the group's second album, Talk in Circles, in the film "The Science of Sleep" as well as on its soundtrack.
