Innerpartysystem follows album with tour

Innerpartysystem was introduced to the world last fall 2007 with The Download EP, a six-song batch of self-recorded demos – including “Don’t Stop” – that pointed the way to their self-titled debut, scheduled to arrive in stores on September 9th on Island Records.

After self-producing The Download EP, IPS recruited an A-level quorum of producers and mixers to work with them on the album. These included: Joel Hamilton (Book of Knots, Sparklehorse, Blue Tip), Mark Needham (the Killers, Pete Yorn), Spike Stent (Björk, Arcade Fire), and Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Jesus & Mary Chain, The Killers) and Stuart Price (Madonna, Seal, The Killers) all of whom brought new ideas on sound and instrumentation to the group.

The album release caps Innerpartysystem’s non-stop summer tour grid, which began several weeks ago on fellow Island group ASHES dIVIDE’s first tour ever, the band formed by lead guitarist, singer and songwriter Billy Howerdel (of A Perfect Circle). On June 23rd, IPS kicks off a dozen UK club and festival shows (with one side trip to Düsseldorf), their second visit across the pond. Writing about “Don’t Stop,” the UK’s Kerrang magazine noted, “If you’re looking for some beefy, groove-laden electro-rock, then you’re gonna cream your pants at this stompy dancefloor destroyer’s titanic chorus.”

July 8th marks the start of a major cross-country U.S. itinerary, as Hot Topic presents the “Hope For The Hopeless” U.S. tour with Kill Hannah, Medic Droic, and White Tie Affair, nearly three dozen dates through August 23rd (including Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 2nd). IPS will also perform at the Voodoo Music festival in October. Please see tour dates below.

“Don’t Stop,” a gripping debut single was licensed to EA’s globally popular FIFA Street 3 freestyle street football (soccer) video game (released November 2007). Another track “Heart of Fire,” was played during the MTV VMAs in September 2007; and was licensed to EA’s Burnout Paradise video game (released January 2008).

Innerpartysystem – lead singer Patrick Nissley, Jesse Cronan (keyboards, programming), Kris Barman (guitar, keyboards), and Jared Piccone (drums) – took their name from the heirarchic controlling class in George Orwell’s novel 1984. The concept resonates in today’s world of fake celebrity-worship – which is prominently swiped by Nissley in “Don’t Stop,” as he rails out, “I feed the rich and fuck the poor”.
