Coming off an impressive SXSW, Los Angeles based rock band The Shelters-who were ranked as one of Bandsintown's "Breakout Artists" at SXSW-have confirmed festival appearances at Chicago's Lollapalooza, Louisville's Forecastle, BottleRock Napa Valley, and more. See below for complete tour details including the first dates to be announced on The Shelters' first-ever European tour.
The band will release a special edition 7" on Record Store Day, April 22. The release is limited to only 3,000 copies and features two of The Shelters' favorite cover songs: "Really Wanted You" which was written and originally performed by Emitt Rhodes and "So Get Out" by Ronald Lee Wilson and Jim Pash, originally performed by The Surfaris. These songs are often included in the band's live concert performances but the band will not have released studio versions until Record Store Day.
The Shelters' self-titled debut album-out now via Warner Bros. Records-continues to receive critical praise from Billboard who calls it, "Jangly, buoyant, foot-tapping...blending classic influences with modern swagger" andPaste who proclaim, "The band's sound successfully marries elements of '70s and '80s rock and roll with a modern flair." The album was co-produced by one of the band's musical heroes, Tom Petty, with all songs written by band members Chase Simpson (vocals, guitar) and Josh Jove (vocals, guitar).
The Shelters are Simpson, Jove, Sebastian Harris (drums) and Jacob Pillot(bass).
