L.A. Alt Rock Quintet Red Sparowes Annnounce UK & Ireland Tour Dates

Los Angeles epic, heavy quintet Red Sparowes has announced a string of UK & Ireland tour dates for October 2010.

The band are currently supporting their third full-length album, 'The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer' which was released earlier this year.

Thunderheads storming across the prairie, outraged students taking to the streets, migratory herds stampeding along the tundra - any number of images could describe the grandiose scope of Red Sparowes' lush vignettes. Wielding both a master's sense of nuance and an outsider artist's unhindered expressionist zeal, the Los Angeles quintet created a catalog of haunting and hallucinatory guitar orchestrations over the course of the millennium's opening decade. With two albums, a string of split releases, multiple U.S. and European tours, and a number of line-up changes under their belt, Red Sparowes have issued their most impressive creation to date, 'The Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer'.

Though Red Sparowes' music thrives unbound by narrative, the band provides a roadmap to their muse. Their 2005 debut album, 'At The Soundless Dawn', cast the scientific inevitability of the Sixth Extinction into a grand funeral oration, revealing the message within the individual track titles. Their second full-length, 'Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun' (2006) provided a synopsis of the Great Sparrow campaign of the Great Leap Forward, laying bare its conceptual role. 'The Aphorisms EP' (2008 digital, 2009 12" vinyl) served a thematic precursor to the new album.

ImageRed Sparowes' latest offering, 'The Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer', began with the larger existential pondering of truth, faith, order, causality, and the innate demand for an understanding of the larger world around us. While Red Sparowes' majesty is hardly in need of story, the provision of the larger metaphor yields a heightened depth and gravity to their work.

October 11th - Birmingham, UK @ Hare and Hounds
October 12th - Dublin, IE @ Crawdaddy
