New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Southern California's Chief White Lightning (Joshua Logan) is stoked to announce the Pinche Summer Tour, which will see his band headline a mix of intimate yet rowdy house, bar and club shows. The sixteen-city run kicks-off onJuly 6th in Costa Mesa before making its way up the West Coast to Seattle and wrapping in Logan's hometown of Austin, TX at The Mohawk on July 27th. News of the tour closely follows this month's announcement of the band's debut full-length album - Chief White Lightning - which is due out July 13th via El Camino Media.
Logan's alter-ego Chief White Lightning dons a white Nudie Suit covered in patches that are as eclectic as the music he makes. Custom-made by Rusty Cuts - who later created a similar suit for
Post Malone - the suit is a reflection of Logan's bigger-than-life personality and pays homage to his Southwestern heritage. For Chief White Lightning's self-titled debut, he tapped label-mate and Battleme front-man Matt Drenik to produce and enlisted multi-instrumentalist Jonas Wilson and drummer Paul Pulvirenti (Elliot Smith) to round-out the studio band - resulting in a 9-song album that weaves between garage rock, punk, blues, country, psych-rock, and pop. The post-punk lead-single "City's Alive" is currently being used in a national ad campaign for Canon, and Logan dropped a psychedelic video for the second album-track "Bleach Blonde Heritage" earlier this month.
Be sure to catch Chief White Lightning live next month on the Pinche Summer Tour, all dates can be found below. The band's debut self-titled album is out July 13th and can be pre-ordered via El Camino Media.
