West Coast Wrap-up & Homecoming Show in NYC
We’re back from the West Coast! Here’s some video footage of us performing on Good Day LA. We were thrilled to share this morning television segment with a gallery of esteemed street artists who, like us, had journeyed cross-country for their West Coast debut.
Seattle was perhaps the highlight of the tour. The venerable KEXP hosted us for an interview where we performed 4 songs live-in-the-studio . The radio station captured some great photos of our visit as well.
To celebrate our return to New York City, we’re playing a show at Pianos on Thursday June 9th. We hit the stage at 9:30PM. Mark your calendars and be there to welcome us home!
INTERVIEW & RARE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
To send us off on our WEST COAST TOUR with a bit of fanfare, Street Date is featuring a recently-recorded, videotaped interview segment with Wormburner in a rare acoustic performance setting. Street Date is a CBS online service that reviews new CDs and features live studio sessions every week. Click here for some live acoustic performances and a nicely-edited interview segment.
WEST COAST TOUR DATES & KEXP
This Springtime, Wormburner will take the show on the road for our first-ever WEST COAST TOUR dates. We’ll kick things off in Fantastic LA with a show at The Silverlake Lounge on Thursday May 12th. We’ve also been invited to the venerable KEXP in Seattle for an in-studio interview and live performance on Saturday May 14th at 1:00PM Pacific Time. Then we’re playing a 10:00PM show at The Mix that evening. Additional Northwest club dates will be announced shortly. Keep checking back for news, and please help spread the word!
NYC Show at Pianos on Friday March 4th
Wormburner returns to the New York City stage on Friday March 4th at Pianos. We will share the stage with talented indie rock bands from near and far, most notably San Francisco’s Heavenly States whose new album features guest vocals by Britt Daniel of Spoon. Wormburner hits at 9:30PM.
NYC Taper features Wormburner
NYC Taper was on-hand at our Mercury Lounge show earlier this month, and the result is a professional live recording of our entire set. Click here for free access to the recording, as well as a very nice write-up about Wormburner.
