Los Angeles, CA
April 13, 2011
– After continuous requests from fans, Bremerton,
WA musician MIKE HERRERA will finally be
making his way across the U.S. to the East Coast
for a month-long acoustic tour with Gasoline
Heart’s Louis
DeFabrizio. Well know as the
frontman of punk-pop trio MXPX, Herrera has
broadened his fanbase with the debut of his
alt-country band, TUMBLEDOWN, and tapped
into his 50’s/60’s melodic rock side project
ARTHUR late last year. Herrera has
written his way into his fan’s hearts over the
course of his 17-year long career, selling more
than 1.5 million records and touring the world.
With an endless archive of tracks to choose from,
Herrera will be performing a highly anticipated
set list full of MXPX, ARTHUR and
TUMBLEDOWN hits. With the set lists varying
from city to city, fans are encouraged to shout
out their favorite tracks for a possible impromptu
addition.
“I’m excited to
finally be able to reach our East Coast fans who
have been waiting too long for one of my bands to
come through town,” said Herrera. “This tour will
allow me to truly connect with MxPx, Arthur and
Tumbledown fans in an intimate setting, which will
hopefully suffice the long wait!”
In addition to
special tour merch packages, the tour will be the
first chance for fans to purchase Mike
Herrera: Live From The Basement, a release
that truly captures the essence of the tour. “I
don’t want fans to think this is a solo album,”
said Herrera. “It’s just a live recording of me,
performing my songs in my basement. I want fans
to be able to take a similar version of what they
heard on this tour home with them.” The album will
be available online starting the first day of the
tour, Thursday, April 21 through
www.mxpx.com and
www.tumbledownhq.com only.
MXPX

DVD’s. Their most recent release, Left Coast

working on a new album. TUMBLEDOWN release
their sophomore album, Empty Bottle (2010)
via End Sounds to great critical acclaim and will
be releasing a new single this summer. ARTHUR
