New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Following a rapturous response at Lilith Fair, The Weepies have confirmed an extensive full-band U.S. tour - their first in over four years - supporting the forthcoming album 'Be My Thrill' out August 31 on Nettwerk Records.
Yesterday, New York Post.com premiered the new Lauren Briere animated video for the album's title track and called the group "a musical cacophony of bright and vivid proportions." Check it out here: https://bit.ly/ckj0m3

The Weepies - Deb Talan and Steve Tannen - opted out of touring behind their last album to enjoy their new family and have since stayed in the spotlight with over 100 licensing placements across various major network TV shows and blockbuster movies to date. This time around, the couple hits the road with their two kids in tow.
After meeting in a Cambridge folk club 9 years ago, The Weepies earned legions of adoring fans through years of non-stop touring, including sold-out dates around the country at venues like Philadelphia's World Cafe' Live, LA's Hotel Cafe', NYC's Canal Room, and Boston's Paradise. The band also sold out three consecutive shows at Cambridge's Club Passim within minutes of their announcement.
"In 2006 we started out just the two of us, driving to shows in our old Toyota packed like a sausage, playing coffeehouses," remembers Steve. By mid-summer we were at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland... The crowd swelled to maybe 1,500, totally packed... We ended with a sold out tour of the east coast of the US with a full band. An amazing and totally exhausting year!"
