APOLLO HEIGHTS WINTER 2008 WEST COAST TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

NYC sonic slayers, Apollo Heights have announced several west coast dates to support their debut album on Manimal Vinyl Records, White Music For Black People. The tour begins in San Francisco on January 4th supporting Midnight Movies and continues in Los Angeles at the legendary Silverlake venue, Spaceland. Other dates have been announced in Joshua Tree, San Diego, Portland and Seattle. Apollo Heights last made their way to the left coast while supporting fellow New Yorker's TV on the Radio in 2005. The band recently played a blistering set at CMJ that landed them a management deal with legendary British manager and former owner of Y Records, Dick O'Dell (Bat For Lashes, The Slits, William Orbit, Gang of Four) and promise UK dates in 2008 as well as serious consideration for a slot on next years Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California and a confirmed appearance at the next SXSW. Meanwhile the bands recent appearance on Through the Wilderness: a tribute to Madonna contributing a seriously "shoegazed" version of "Dress You Up" continues to give this band the lift they last saw in the days when they were called The Veldt (1988-1996). Download Apollo Heights latest single, "Disco Lights" that features a rare and previously unreleased gem with ex-Patriot producer, Mike Ladd on iTunes now. All west coast dates will be with spawn of 4AD, San Francisco band, Veil Veil Vanish.
