NEW YORK, NY (By Fernando Aguilar/ Warner Bros./Reprise Records Publicity/ www.rockkillskid.com) - Two must-see bands, Rock
Kills Kid and Men, Women & Children, will hit the road for a three-month tour with
Head Automatica beginning August 16th in Norfolk, Virginia.
Los Angeles-based Rock Kills Kid will be touring in support of its new Reprise Records release, "Are You Nervous?" The quintet has been called a "Band to Watch" by Rolling Stone and Alternative Press. The single "Paralyzed" went Top 20 on Alternative radio, and rose to Number One on Los Angeles' influential radio station KROQ. The band was also a featured artist on MTV's "You Hear It First" and earned a spot on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
Men, Women & Children's new self-titled album (also on Reprise Records) is an exuberant mix of rock, electro, and funk, with a dash of disco. Led by ex-Glassjaw guitarist Todd Weinstock, the album has received terrific reviews including eight stars from Britain's NME. Amplifier magazine says: "The band never lets up, unleashing surprise atop a never-ending groove. MW&C offers endless pleasures you don't have to feel guilty for loving."
Pop in both discs and check out two bands worth keeping your eye on, and make sure to come out early as they open for Head Automatica.
