J-Roddy Walston And The Business New Album Coming This Spring From Vagrant
. "Vagrant already feels like home to us," said drummer Steve Colmus. "We can't wait for people to hear the new record, and to just get out and play the living hell out of some shows. The Baltimore, Maryland-based five piece has toured numerous times with Vagrant labelmates The Hold Steady and Murder By Death. The band self-released their debut, Hail Mega Boys, in 2007 which prompted critics to say that J-Roddy Walston and The Business is �the purest American rock-and-roll band I�ve heard in years,� (Flagpole) and sounds like �a butcher version of Queen and Ben Folds with a full backing band and a fistful of Lexapro� (WCPR). The quintet�s live show is an experience likened to �a live bull fight,� (Philly Style) and �infectiously manic...they make James Brown look lazy,� (Baltimore City Paper). J-Roddy Walston and The Business tour dates: Mar 04 � New York, NY @ Mercury Lounge (early show) Mar 11 � Raleigh, NC @ Slim�s Downtown Mar 12 � Atlanta, GA @ The Star Bar Mar 13 � Athens, GA @ Caledonia Lounge Mar 15 � Oxford, MS @ Parrish Baker Pub Mar 16 � Shreveport, LA @ Hayride Diner Mar 16-20 � Austin, TX @ SXSW Mar 21 � Little Rock, AR @ Whitewater Tavern Mar 23 � Cincinnati, OH @ Southgate House Parlor Mar 26 � Louisville, KY @ Zanzabar Mar 27 � Morgantown, WV @ 123 Pleasant St. Preview and Purchase J-Roddy Walston CDs |
