New York, NY (Capitol Records) - Detroit's Love Arcade will hit the road in December with Kill
Hannah and The Pink Spiders in support of their self-titled debut on Atlantic Records. Bringing their infectious tunes to life with their energetic and entertaining live show, the band will be kicking things off in Tempe, AZ on December 10th at The Sets.
Love Arcade, is the brainchild on 19-year-old whiz kid Snowhite. He wrote, recorded, produced, played, and sung everything on this self-titled debut, a creative pop album filled with soaring, hooky, car-stereo pumping rock songs - the stuff that just makes you wanna dance.
'...channels the best aspects of post-modern pop; a dash of Weezer-esque smirking, wise-ass rock, a pinch of Beck-ian DIY abandon, a hint of INXS swing, and even a little hip-hopless Eminem ambience.' - Amplifier
Snowhite builds upon numerous influences and effortlessly combines 80's radio pop and 90's guitar squalls to create an album that is contagious and smartly crafted while never losing his keen sense of humor.
For the live show, he has assembled a band of four young, crackerjack musicians - Seth Joshua (Bass), Thomas Amason (Guitar), Dorman Pantfoeder (Drums) and Nathanael Boone (Keyboard) - to take the show on the road and bring Love Arcade to the masses.
Before the first date, Love Arcade is going play one very special show on December 9th in Gilbert, AZ at Higley High School. They were approached by the school's cheerleading squad (the band is one of their new favorites and ironically enough the lead cheerleader's name is 'Sara'!) to play a benefit concert for them as they need to raise money for cheerleading uniforms. The show is being held at the Gilbert Performing Arts Center and tickets are being sold by the 41 cheerleaders at Higley High. The school is going to play a Love Arcade song over the loudspeaker everyday to start school and the cheerleaders have incorporated the Love Arcade logo on their jersey. Proceeds from the concert are going to the Higley Athletic Fund. All in all, pretty cool!
