New Album SLICK DOGS AND PONIES<br />In Stores 1/29!<br /><br /><br />LOUIS XIV GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD WITH NEW ALBUM; CROSS-COUNTRY TOUR ALONGSIDE EDITORS AND HOT HOT HEAT<br />SLATED TO KICK OFF IN EARLY JANUARY;<br />ALBUM ARRIVES ACROSS ALL FORMATS ON JANUARY 29TH<br /><br /><br />Pineapple/Atlantic recording group Louis XIV has announced details of its eagerly awaited second album, entitled SLICK DOGS AND PONIES. The album which features the #1 Specialty Charts hit, Guilt By Association as well as Air Traffic Control arrives online and in stores on January 29th.<br />The San Diego-based rock n roll band will introduce fans to its 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 8th at Ft. Lauderdale, Floridas Culture Room, and then traverses the nation through a Valentines Day finale at Las Vegas House of Blues on February 14th (full dates below). Louis XIV also just returned from a sold out Australian tour with their longtime friends, The Killers.<br />Bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than its breakthrough 2005 predecessor, THE BEST LITTLE SECRETS ARE KEPT, SLICK DOGS AND PONIES sees Louis XIV bravely setting forth towards new sonic terrain. Like all Louis XIV music, the bands own Jason Hill serves as producer and engineer, echoing their 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 bands innovative take on modern music.<br />We invented a sound, frontman Jason Hill boldly states. Its definitely unlike anything you hear in current music.<br />SLICK DOGS AND PONIES follows Louis XIVs recent digital-only EP, THE DISTANCES FROM EVERYONE TO YOU. The four-song release featured the three brand-new Louis XIV originals (including the album track, Theres A Traitor In This Room), plus a glamtastic cover of Queens classic, Flashs Theme (featured on the Sci-Fi Channel original series, Flash Gordon).<br />* * * * *<br /><br /><br />Louis XIV exploded out of the box in 2004, winning over fans and critics around the globe with their modern take on classic glammed-up rock n roll. The following year, the ILLEGAL TENDER EP self-released on their own Pineapple Recording Group label spawned a bonafide alternative radio blockbuster in Finding Out True Love Is Blind.<br />THE BEST LITTLE SECRETS ARE KEPT arrived on Atlantic in March 05, trailed by a veritable tsunami of critical acclaim. Rolling Stone named Louis XIV one of their 10 Artists To Watch in 2005, while Entertainment Weekly included them on their shortlist of 8 Hot Bands. Esquire listed THE BEST LITTLE SECRETS ARE KEPT as one of Four Records To Get You Ahead of the Game, with further rave reviews running in such national publications as the New York Times, Blender, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Post.<br />In addition, the band made a series of exciting network television performances, with live spots on ABCs Jimmy Kimmel Live, and NBCs Late Night with Conan OBrien and Last Call with Carson Daly.<br />Louis XIV spent much of 2005 and 2006 on the road, knocking out audiences in North America, Europe, and Asia as headliners, festival show-stealers, and special guests to such like-minded outfits as Hot Hot Heat and The Killers. The band capped off its endless tour in mid-2006 by sharing the stage with David Bowie and Alicia Keys at the Keep A Child Alive Foundations annual Black Ball fundraising concert at New York Citys Hammerstein Ballroom.<br />Louis XIV is: Jason Hill producer, vocals, guitars, piano * Brian Karscig guitars, vocals, piano * Mark Maigaard drums * James Armbrust bass. http://www.imeem.com/louisxiv Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss So what exactly IS going on in Louis XIV’s Guilt By Association video?
