They will be performing in such cities as New York, Seattle, Portland, Hollywood, San Diego, Washington, D.C., & Boston (see full itinerary below).

Label head, Tommy LaCombe states of his approach to working with his artists, "Tragic Hero likes to focus on the roots of each of our bands' potential. Meaning we don't look to try and change bands into something they are not." "We would rather have happy artists that are 100% satisfied with their end product, than artists that are "geared" to a specific audience." LaCombe adds, "So when I first met with He Is Legend and started talking about the new record I quickly realized that I very much wanted to work with the band and bring It Hates You into the light."

They tackle the west coast for the first time this May, kicking things off in Denver on the 11th of May. But before they head for the Rockies the band holds down Le Poisson Rouge in NYC on April 30th. In June they head across the Atlantic for a string of European dates.

The band is releasing a 15 track "hard cover" version on January 1st, 2010 in honor of the band's 10 year anniversary. Starting this June and throughout the summer, the new songs will be previewed at myspace.com/seepeoples. These songs represent a return to the "electronic" roots of SeepeoleS, and a return to the sound that made their second album, The Corn Syrup Conspiracy, an underground classic.

Lee Memorial is named after a guesthouse in Kolkatta, India where Karl's family used to stay when he was a child. (Karl lived in Bangladesh and India until he was thirteen). Smith wanted to try something different to Sodastream with his latest project and the desire was to present his new songs with a full band. Recruiting Laura MacFarlane, one time drummer with Sleater-Kinney and founder of Melbourne outfit Ninety Nine, Tom Lyngcoln from Nation Blue (lead guitar), Madeline Spawton who has no ragged pedigree - which in many ways is a good thing - plays clarinet and cello, and Matt Bailey (ex-Paradise Motel) plays bass.

The chemistry of this line-up was demonstrated in the studio where Lee Memorial managed to record eleven of the tracks form the forthcoming debut album, The Lives Of Lee Memorial in just four days.

From there, Ryder will join her Atlantic labelmate Paolo Nutini for a number of West Coast shows, beginning April 22nd at Slim's in San Francisco. Next, Serena will set out on the road alongside Eric Hutchinson, joining him for a series of May dates, kicking off May 5th at Philadelphia's World Caf� Live.
