Firewater Tour Begins In About One Week, So Start Researching Who They Are Right Now

Hurry up! Don’t miss the next voyage of this vessel called Firewater. The New York group, led by Tod A. (who was also in the excellent Cop Shoot Cop), has been taking multicultural elements and making (non-traditionally) beautiful, humorous, pissed off, and thoroughly great tunes for about 13 years. Go look through your older brother’s Magnet or CMJ magazines if you want to know the score.

The band released possibly their best LP just a couple weeks ago, The Golden Hour (Bloodshot). The record was greatly influenced by Tod’s three-year trek through India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey, which was apparently brought on by his divorce and the reelection of W. Well, one good trek deserves another, so in that spirit, the band is set to depart on a three-week tour all over this failure pile in a sadness bowl know as the USA. Check them out, beginning May 23 in Boston, before they (rightfully?) give up on the U.S. for good.
