BIRDMONSTER ANNOUNCES NATIONAL TOUR

FADER Label, the recording branch of The FADER, is pleased to announce the first national tour for in support of Birdmonster’s latest release From The Mountain To The Sea. Birdmonster will be performing select dates in September with Nada Surf and Sons And Daughters followed by a cross-country trek supporting UK band The Rumble Strips.

FADER Label released the much-anticipated follow up to 2006’s No Midnight on August 5, 2008 via online outlets and the record will hit stores on September 2, 2008 through Sony/RED Distribution.

Spearheaded by Peter Arcuni, the new album stands to be the band’s most compelling work to date. Writing in the isolated wilderness of the Pacific Northwest gave Birdmonster an environment clear from distractions and the ability to focus on a more natural approach to songwriting from the ground up. On The Iditarod, the band’s tribute to the Alaskan race that stretches from dense forest to desolate tundra, Peter compares the treacherous race to feelings of love, loss and the unfamiliar.
