Sweden's Graveyard to tour US

GRAVEYARD (aka The Evil Allman Brothers aka Sweden’s demigods of psychedelic classic rock) are finally back. Here. As in “gonna play the States again.” Which forces us to ask, “America, ARE YOU READYYYYYYYY?!?!?!”

Hailed for tapping “a direct line to the soft spot in everyone’s heart for Led Zeppelin” by Roadburn.com, GRAVEYARD’s second studio album and Nuclear Blast debut, Hisingen Blues, was produced, recorded, and mixed in 100% analog by Don Alsterberg (Gonzales, Junip, Soundtrack Of Our Lives, The International Noise Conspiracy) and debuted on three Billboard album charts (#48 – Heatseekers, #140 – Top Independent Current albums, and #46 – Current Hard Music Albums) in April. It also officially entered the Swedish album chart at No. 1 in late March and trumped pop icon Britney Spears’ new album for the top spot. How’s that for the power of ¼” tape?

If you miss blissing-out to repeat listens of the warm hiss of a pure analog recording with your headphones on, then dare yourself to experience these guys live; they are the real deal. Opening every night will be the blues-rock band Radio Moscow.

Please consider granting GRAVEYARD: a) a bone; b) room in your music collection; c) a place to crash; d) directions to your local thrift store & Mexican restaurant; f) a six-pack of your favorite micro-brew.
