Locksley Announces Tour Dates in Support of New Album Be in Love
Locksley will begin their trek when they play Sunfest on April 28, 2010 in West Palm Beach, FL. The spring 2010 tour with Butch Walker kicks off on May 4, 2010 in Omaha, NE.
Locksley features brothers Jesse and Jordan Laz (rhythm guitar and bass respectively), Kai Kennedy (lead guitar) and Sam Bair (drums).
Be In Love finds the band exploring their American musical roots with bits of Swing, 50's Doo-Wop, 60's Soul and early American-Punk all coming together to create something uniquely and confidently their own.
Locksley has achieved rare success for an unsigned act with performances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live, a feature as MTV's Artist of the Week for an unprecedented two consecutive weeks and a tour as the opener and backing band for the legendary Kinks front-man Ray Davies.
Rock and Roll legend Davies commented on the album: "I got to know the guys in Locksley last year when they served as my backing band for my U.S. tour. I just heard their album Be In Love and I was reminded why I loved these guys in the first place."
The band's music has been heavily licensed, appearing in movies (Cloverfield, Friday the 13th, Over Her Dead Body), TV (theme song for Morning Express with Robin Meade on CNN, Parenthood and Mercy on NBC, Cougar Town, Castle, and Cupid on ABC), numerous commercials (Garnier, AT&T, Starz, Payless Shoes) and video games (RockBand features three of their songs).
The tour will be making a stop in Grand Rapids at the Mixtape Cafe on Thursday, May 13 and in Detroit at the Magic Bag on Friday, May 14.
