Having just released a new album, "Slick Dogs And Ponies," on top of wrapping up a cross country tour with Editors and Hot Hot Heat, San Diego-based rock group LOUIS XIV kicked off a headlining tour this week. See tour dates below.
Bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than its breakthrough 2005 predecessor, "The Best Little Secrets Are Kept," "Slick Dogs And Ponies" sees LOUIS XIV bravely setting forth towards new sonic terrain. Like all LOUIS XIV music, the band's own Jason Hill serves as producer and engineer, echoing the DIY-ethic of this very independent minded group of musicians. String-laden tracks such as "Guilt By Association" and the epic "Air Traffic Control" display extraordinary growth and evolution while also staying true to the band's innovative take on modern music.
