Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Kevin Devine (Bad Books, Kevin Devine and the Goddamn Band), announces the date for the highly anticipated dual release of Bulldozer and Bubblegum.
The drastically different sounding albums, fan funded through a record-setting Kickstarter campaign, will be released October 14th through Big Scary Monsters.
Earlier this year, Devine launched the Kickstarter campaign to fund the two releases with the goal of creating a solo album with Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Guided by Voices) and a full band album with the Goddamn Band produced by rock group Brand New’s Jesse Lacey. The result was an overwhelming amount of support from fans, raising more than $114,000 to support the albums and subsequent tours – the 12th largest music project funded through Kickstarter to date.
Kevin will return to the UK for a headline tour in February 2014. Tickets go on sale this Friday 2nd August:
Tue 4th Feb 2014 – The Lexington, London
Wed 5th Feb 2014 – Louisianna, Bristol
Thu 6th Feb 2014 – Soup Kitchen, Manchester
Fri 7th Feb 2014 – Nice n Sleazys, Glasgow
