Burning Brides Line Up Free Shows in LA

.
(PR) To celebrate the June 19 release of their new album "Hang Love," The Burning Brides will bring their scorching, post-grunge-groove-metal/rock to Los Angeles for a series of free shows every Monday night in June at The Echo. For this entire June residency, the Brides - Dimitri Coats (guitars, vocals), Melanie Coats (bass), Pete Beeman (drums) - will be joined onstage by Urge Overkill guitarist, Nash Kato. Showtime for all four Monday nights will be 9:00PM.

"Hang Love," Burning Brides' third album, was produced by Coats and is a raging slab of towering riffs and melodies, unrelentingly heavy rock that coexists with a keen sense of pop melody. Burning Brides released its first album in 2001, "Fall of the Plastic Empire," made for $5000 in a motorcycle garage in Philadelphia, and earned its fair of share of comparisons to Nirvana's "Bleach."

The band gained a reputation for being great live, became a buzz band and found themselves in a huge label bidding war. Dimitri recalls, "We were the last of the unknown bands to get a million dollar record deal." "Leave No Ashes," produced by George Drakoulias (The Black Crowes, Tom Petty), was released in 2004, and received great press - Esquire said that the album "matched sonic hugeness with superbly crafted songs...a moody masterpiece." Despite the initial success, the band was jettisoned from its record label, suffered drug problems, personal and professional splits; then reconciliation, a move to Los Angeles, marriage, a new drummer, and a fresh start. "Hang Love" will be released on the independent Modart imprint with distribution through Caroline/EMI. Said Dimitr, "We may be one of the few bands doing it right now, but this is the way the future is going to be. We own the masters, we dictate how and when we do things, we take the risks."
