Bloody Brilliant
Abrasive angst-rockers The Blood Brothers have announced West Coast dates for February. Starting with San Francisco’s Bottom Of The Hill, the Seattle quintet will rip its way up and down the shoreline for a couple weeks, heading inland just a bit for a Phoenix show February 6.
The tour ends back home in Seattle with a double-nighter at the Vera Project February 13-14.
The Brothers spent the good majority of last year traversing North America, with opening stints for A.F.I., Cursive, and The Used as well as on their own headlining stretches. For a summer vacation, they toured Europe with Seattle compatriots Pretty Girls Make Graves.
The surreal, howled lyrics – from two lead vocalists – and harsh guitars of the Brothers’ first two albums, This Adultery Is Ripe and March On Little Children, earned the band the attention of ARTISTdirect Records and producer Rich Robinson (At The Drive-In, Slipknot). The result, Burn, Piano Island, Burn, was released in March of 2003.
