DELL LOUNGE PRESENTS TOUR
FEATURING nelo
WITH SPECIAL GUEST HOMER HICCOLM & THE ROCKETBOYS
AT GRANADA THEATER IN DALLAS
Music DVDs of Both Bands to be Available as Inaugural Dell Lounge Presents Tour Continues,
Shining Spotlight on New Bands
AUSTIN, TX — Dell Lounge Presents, a tour that features two of the top performers in the Austin City Limits Music Festival’s “The Sound and the Jury” battle of the bands, continues with a show for all ages at the Granada Theater in Dallas in early February as part of the regional inaugural tour.
Austin pop-rock sextet nelo takes the stage at 11:15 p.m. Saturday, February 9, at the Granada Theater, 3524 Greenville Ave. in Dallas. Tickets are $10 general admission, $14 reserved; club information, 214.824.9933. Abilene ambient rockers Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys play at 10 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m.
nelo and Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys, who both earned mega-votes in the festival competition, will play at least six concert dates this winter as part of the Dell Lounge Presents tour, with shows in Athens, Ga., Austin, Houston and February 16 in College Station.
The Saturday night show will serve as pre-CD release party for nelo’s highly anticipated debut studio album, which is due in April, and the first 500 people at the theater will receive a free DVD/EP of nelo music recorded live in December at the Dell Lounge Presents tour stop at Antone’s.
nelo’s Saturday night set — and fans there for the performance — will be filmed for release as a Dell Lounge DVD. A special-edition three-song nelo EP will also be available at the Granada show.
Also Saturday, Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys will release a CD/DVD recorded live at the Antone’s Dell Lounge Presents show.
Visitors to www.delllounge.com/music/dellloungetour can find more music and video footage from the tour, exclusive content from actor and Dell user Billy Bob Thornton at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and riffs on the new Guitar Hero III game. Concert performances and behind-the-scenes action were filmed using a specially configured Dell PC designed for anyone, professional level to amateur, to record and edit high-quality digital audio. The PC will be available at participating Guitar Center stores this year.
nelo’s debut studio album of up-tempo, jazz-inspired, alternative-infused originals is co-produced by Freddy Fletcher and Steve Fishell for Texas-based Pedernales Records/Justice Records. The band — principal songwriter Matt Ragland on acoustic guitar, Reid Umstattd on lead vocals, Chris Hill on drums and percussion, Stephen Goodson on electric guitar, David Long on sax and flute, and Mike St. Clair on bass and trombone — has been touring nationally for more than a year, including shows in Phoenix and Nashville and an upcoming East Coast tour.
Dell Lounge Presents/Granada Theater
Homer Hiccolm & the Rocketboys’ fall EP, SING, BIRD, SING (available at shows), features the band’s contagious melodies and lyrics, a drum-driven foundation for soaring guitars and atmospheric keyboard-playing, and singer Brandon Kinder’s powerful voice. It’s the first studio recording in more than two years by the band: Kinder on guitar and piano, Josh Campbell on bass, Philip Ellis on drums, Mitchell Holt on guitar and vocals, Daniel Wheeler on guitar, and Justin Wiseman on keyboards.
