The Candles Announce Dates With Trashcan Sinatras and The Lemonheads

The band picks up dates with The Lemonheads in mid-June and more dates will be announced shortly.

The Candles is Josh Lattanzi's first solo project, encapsulating the varied styles and influences he's picked up while recording and touring with the likes of Ben Kweller, Albert Hammond, Jr. (The Strokes) and the Lemonheads, to mention just a few.

"Making music with such talented people for so long has been incredibly inspiring. I could keep making albums and touring with these artists who are so damned good at what they do, and I probably will, but it feels like the right time to do something that truly belongs to me," the multi-instrumentalist says of the inspiration for The Candles' debut, Between The Sounds, (04/10, The End Records).

With the first significant free time he had in years, Lattanzi began the process of crafting his debut. From June to October of 2008 he wrote and recorded demos in his New York City apartment, then ventured on to Celeste, Texas to John Kent's studio for two intense weeks of recording.
