Louis XIV have announced that they will be setting off on the road in support of their new album titled Slick Dogs and Ponies. The album—which features the #1 Specialty Charts hit, "Guilt By Association"—arrives online and in stores on January 29.
The San Diego-based rock 'n' roll band will introduce fans to their new material via a series of upcoming concert dates, including a much-anticipated North American tour alongside Editors and Hot Hot Heat. The schedule kicks off on January 8 at Ft. Lauderdale, Florida's Culture Room and then traverses the nation through a Valentine's Day finale at Las Vegas' House of Blues.
Bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than their breakthrough 2005 predecessor, The Best Little Secrets are Kept, Slick Dogs and Ponies sees Louis XIV bravely setting forth toward new sonic terrain. Like all Louis XIV music, the band's own Jason Hill serves as producer and engineer, echoing the DIY-ethic of this very independent minded group of musicians. String-laden tracks such as "Guilt By Association" and the epic "Air Traffic Control" display extraordinary growth and evolution while also staying true to the band's innovative take on modern music.
