Earlier this month, Glamour Kills announced the Tallahassee “Small Town Favorites” Alternative/Indie outfit Stages & Stereos would head out on a 38-date full US tour with Mayday Parade, Man Overboard, and Cartel. Before the quintet leave, Stages & Stereos are heading out on tour with Truth or Consequences (Featuring Brooks Betts & Jeremy Lenzo of Mayday Parade) and Pittsburgh pop/rock band, Paper States for a SouthEast run. Fans are in for a surprise as Go Radio’s guitarist, Alex Reed will be joining Stages & Stereos to fill in on guitar during this run. Tour dates are listed below:
8/25 – Gainesville, FL @ 1982 Bar
8/26 – Jacksonville, FL @ Jack Rabbit’s
8/27 – Atlanta, GA @ Swayze’s
8/28 – Pensacola, FL @ Handlebar
8/29 – Tampa, FL @ The Orpheum
8/20 – Orlando, FL @ Backbooth
Formed in 2007, Stages & Stereos released several dynamic EP’s but it wasn’t until the band decided to go on hiatus while bassist Ian Edge enlisted in the U.S. Army as a combat medic that things began to change. In early 2011, Ian was critically wounded by an I.E.D (improvised explosive device) losing his right leg at knee level. Once Ian returned home, the talk of Stages & Stereos quickly became a topic of conversation. It took the band a year to adjust the line up and hit the studio in 2012, record and release Anchorless, and tour with Go Radio and Paradise Fears. Fast forward several months and Stages & Stereos are back at it with a new single, new album, and all around new attitude as a band.
“Small Town Favorites” is an anthemic tune off the band’s forthcoming EP also titled Small Town Favorites produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount due out September 24, 2013. The track is about being from a small town, living out your dreams, and making something for yourself. Lead Vocalist, Daniel Lancaster captures this in the song by shouting, “To hell with it, I’m aware of everything I’ve done, I’m not done.” “Small Town Favorites” is now available on itunes.
Don’t forget to check out the band on a slew of shows coming up for the remainder of the year. All tour dates listed below:
