THE FELICE BROTHERS ANNOUNCE FALL HEADLINING TOUR WITH
A.A. BONDY, DEER TICK
DEBUT LIVE VIDEO OF "FRANKIE'S GUN" SHOT AT THE BEARSVILLE THEATRE IN WOODSTOCK, NY
The Felice Brothers are proud to announce a multi-date Fall headlining tour of
the United States. Following their well received appearance at the inaugural Outside
Lands music festival in San Francisco's historic Golden Gate Park, they kick off an impressive
run in Burlington, VT September 4 th , and keep on through early November with a show at the
world renowned Spiegeltent in New York City. Along the way they will be joined by A.A. Bondy and Deer Tick.
Recently signed to Team Love Records, the Catskill Mountain rabble-rousers released their Self-Titled LP this past March 2008 on the NYC based label. No Depression wrote that the "ethereal, guns-and-sex-and-Dust-Bowl-metaphora infused" album could "not be understated." Meanwhile Uncut went on to say, " rowdy, vivid, moving and playful, The Felice Brothers is just glorious. " It follows their self-released debut Through These Reins and Gone (2006), and Tonight at the Arizona , put out by Loose Records in the UK in 2007. This summer they've kept busy on the road, hitting festivals like Bonnaroo, All Points West, The Newport Folk Festival, and Langerado.
A far cry from the chicken coop and abandoned rail car where they recorded parts of their album, their booking at these marquee events is a result of their " sinewy, rough-edged and exhilarating " ( MOJO) performances. A recent show in England left The Telegraph issuing glowing praise. " This is cracked, rootsy stuff... They really are that good. And they are on fire." Evidence of that energy was more than apparent at this year's Newport Folk Festival. When power went out at their stage it didn't deter The Felice Brothers in the slightest. The just hopped into the audience and finished out their set acoustic, tromping around in the mud, playing their instruments, and belting out choruses much to the delight of the enthusiastic crowd that had gathered to see them.
For some insight into their stellar stage presence check out this video of them performing the song "Frankie's Gun" live at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY.

"When the first words out of a performer's mouth are 'Our grandpa told us this here story.'
you know you're in for a good night. When that phrase is followed by 'about a cabaret singer ...
that he killed,' it's going to be a great night."
-The Los Angeles Times
Simone, Ian and James Felice are the three eldest boys from a family of seven, born carpenter's sons in the wilds of New York's Catskill Mountains. Along with friends Christmas and Farley, they moved their Sunday barbecue sing-alongs from their Dad's house onto the streets and subways of New York City.
