Monster in the Machine Tour

09/17/07
. (antiMusic/PR) Monster In The Machine is hitting the road starting September 26 to spread the word about their ethereal debut album, BUTTERFLY PINNED, which was released August 21 on Emotional Syphon Recordings, the independent label owned by Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer. [we have a review going up for this CD this week and Matthew gave it 5 stars saying "The album features sounds reminiscent of many genres from rock to alternative and many of the songs have David Bowie styled vocals though there are traces of the Beach Boys, Chris Cornell, and Interpol as well. As a whole it flows surprisingly well for being so diverse" We're working on setting up a Monster in the Machine week as well.]

The band will be performing three acoustic shows with Riders On The Storm (featuring Robbie Krieger and Ray Manzerek of The Doors) before heading out with Israeli band Rock Four on a three-week tour sponsored by KCRW-FM (the prestigious and groundbreaking Los Angeles radio station) starting October 6.

Accompanying Crawford on the jaunt will be Lats (bass, formerly with Memento), John Chase (guitar) and Jay Curry (drums). Doug Ardito (bass, who performed with Crawford in Cellophane) and Josh Freese (drums) appear on BUTTERFLY PINNED, but will not be part of the touring line-up due to prior commitments with other musical projects.
