New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Lavender Diamond announced they will support
Bright Eyes on the West Coast leg of their tour this May. The tour will kick off on May 14 in Spokane, WA and will hit Los Angeles, CA on May 21. Find a full list of tour dates below.
"We are so delighted and honored to be a part of the first
Bright Eyes tour in 9 years," said Becky Stark. "The music of
Bright Eyes is essential magic for so many people. We feel it is an incredible blessing that we are able to join forces to magnify love on this tour!"
The band has also announced that they have signed to the new Los Angeles-based record label Petaluma Records.
"We consider it a miracle to be working with Petaluma Records," said Stark. "When we started writing new songs we wondered how we would find our perfect partners for sharing the music with the world. Like a bolt out of the blue we connected with John Sopkia at Petaluma and we feel we are in perfect alignment. We couldn't be more excited! We are so thankful to work together with kindred souls. We feel so supported and thankful."
Lavender Diamond has been on hiatus since the release of their 2012 album Incorruptible Heart. Becky Stark is also a member of the Living Sisters alongside Eleni Mandell and Inara George, and has collaborated with John C. Reilly, The
Decemberists and She & Him. In their 7.0 review of Incorruptible Heart, Pitchfork stated, "It would be easy enough to call these 'side-projects,' but it's more helpful to think of Lavender Diamond as just one nook in Stark's glitter-spackled pantheon of boundless creative joy."
