Rasputina - New Album and Summer Tour!!!
May 22nd, 2007 . by Jilly
Rasputina has a new album coming out on June 26 titled “Oh Perilous World”. Their official website describes the album…
Oh Perilous World is the long awaited new studio album from chamber-rock trio Rasputina. Deciding that current world events were more bizarre than anything from the distant past, Rasputina foundress Melora Creager culled words, phrases and whole stories from the Internet that especially intrigued her to create the lyrical inspiration for this album.
They will be be doing an extensive US tour this summer. Check here for tour dates. I picked up my tickets yesterday. I’ve seen them about 3 times now and they’re a really great live act. Jana Hunter will be opening for them on the first half of the tour and My Brightest Diamond will be the opening act for the second half.
Rasputina front-woman Melora Creager has put out a solo album. It sounds like another Rasputina album, and that’s not a bad thing. You can listen to the whole album here. I especially like her cover of Tom Petty’s “American Girl”.
