SUPERSTACK ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

 

Canada's "Rock Gods" to shuck Canucks, make a mess of the U.S.

Lenny Kravitz was wrong, rock n' roll isn't dead. In fact, the best of rock music is very well and alive thanks to SUPERSTACK, who are embarking on their highly anticipated North American tour in July of 2007, hot on the heels of their widely acclaimed independent self-titled debut album.

 

The Sudbury, Ontario bred ~ southern rock-fed sound of SUPERSTACK has been sweeping radio station playlists and personal music collections all over North America like wildfire.  Lead guitarist Scott Donnelly, drummer Brian Lahaie and bassist Greg Mihajic have grabbed the essence of 70's soul rock by the throat and breathed a fiery new life into its voice with an album destined to be a rock classic, and a live show experience that Scott calls, "a real rock rebirth". 

 

The magnetic attraction to their music for those starved for a passing of the real rock torch has been overwhelming.  In addition to mainstream and indie rock radio attention throughout Canada, the band has been gathering tremendous momentum online, often averaging daily play counts on Myspace reserved only for large major label acts.  They have been warmly embraced by the fan club for 70's rock megaband Free, whose drummer Simon Kirke personally expressed his respect for their music.

 

The snowballing awareness of SUPERSTACK has resulted in securing a slot at the prestigious Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, and Scott's recent addition to Gibson Guitars as a sponsored artist for the Gibson Firebird model, whose logo is tattooed on Scott's forearm. 

 

As a pertinent example of the measurable effect SUPERSTACK is having on rock fans, in a June 2007 Habitat For Humanity all-request weekend fund drive on CHNO "Big Daddy Radio", SUPERSTACK was played twice an hour for 48 hours with over 1000 requests for their music.  The demand that weekend resulted in the station playing all the tracks on the album several times!  The project was thereafter referred to on-air as "the house that Superstack built." 

 

Quotes:

Long standing friend and fan of SUPERSTACK, The Trews lead singer Colin McDonald says, "…They bring the best elements of 70's rock to a modern musical landscape, they're the band The Queens of the Stone Age would love to be."

SUPERSTACK will be formally releasing their new single "Red Light" to Canadian radio on July 15^th, and will be dropping a video of "Kick It On Down" on youtube.com late this summer. 

 

SUPERSTACK kick off their tour on July 14^th in Kincardine, ON at Capstock before performing dates in central and western Canada.  Following a short breather, the band will begin their U.S. leg in Chicago, IL in late August, and will hook up with The Trews and Medusa Stone at Wheeliefest in Rowland, PA.  As of this printing, the tour will wrap in Daphne, AL on Sept. 29^th.
