Royal Bangs Announce Fall Tour w/The Black Keys
Then, back to the Studio
Rolling Stone's "new favorite rockers", Royal Bangs have just announced they'll be heading out on a Fall Tour with The Black Keys, beginning October 3rd. Knoxville's resident laser-fueled, turbo popsters, have been steadily winning over the hearts of fans and writers alike with their recent release of We Breed Champions (Audio Eagle) and chronic touring schedule. Check out "Let's Get Even" and see why William Goodman wrote for SPIN that their Bonnaroo performance "rates as the best show I've yet to see" and why Magnet Magazine labeled them Issue 79's "Band To Watch". And, you'll definitely be seeing more of Royal Bangs in 2009. They've already booked studio time for their next album.
