Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ New Line Records) - An arresting allure will be spreading across the nation as Midnight Movies embark on tour with Alexi Murdoch in support of their anticipated sophomore full-length album, LION THE GIRL, due April 24 on New Line Records. The coast-to-coast run kicks off Feb. 7 at New York's Mercury Lounge and concludes with a homecoming performance in Los Angeles at The El Rey Theatre. Following this, the band will make the trek to Austin for the annual South by Southwest Music Festival in March. Filled with noirish images of L.A. and addressing the push and pull of love, LION THE GIRL, whirs and pops with a mix of '60s psychedelia, new wave rhythms and frontwoman Gena Olivier's beguiling vocals. Recently, URB magazine proclaimed: "the album is a schizophrenic patchwork of pop hooks, ethereal fuzz and whispers of Grace Slick."
