BARKING UP THE RIGHT TREE

Posted on February 12, 2008

Roadrunner Records is delighted to welcome epic rockers PORCUPINE TREE to our family. 퉌æ Porcupine Tree is unquestionably one of the most difficult-to-categorise and innovative bands out there. The music is breathtaking, ranging from psychedelic trip-hop to progressive metal, and a compendium of other sounds in between. 퉌æ Evolving from one man’s self-indulgent creative outlet back in 1992, Porcupine Tree has grown into a well respected major-label-signed four-piece who have released several albums. Their most recent, 2005’s ‘Deadwing’, served to further skyrocket the band’s renown and they are currently hard at work on a brand new record – set for release on Roadrunner (excluding North America and Japan) in early 2007. 퉌æ The band is fronted by singer/guitarist Steven Wilson, who also is well-known for his production work (Opeth, Anja Garbarek) and other musical projects: No-Man, Bass Communion, and Blackfield – the highly acclaimed collaboration with Israeli musician Aviv Geffen. Richard Barbieri (keyboards), Colin Edwin (bass), and Gavin Harrison (drums) complete the quartet. í‰Œæ “Porcupine Tree are extremely happy about our new partnership with Roadrunner Records for our forthcoming album,” comments Wilson. “Roadrunner has established itself as one of the world’s premier independent labels for rock music, and we couldn’t be more enthusiastic about working with them to expand our audience and elevate Porcupine Tree to the next level.” 퉌æ Experience Porcupine Tree live – including some forthcoming new songs – at these dates: 퉌æ Sep 13 2006퉌æí‰ŒæCAMBRIDGE, UK:퉌æThe Junction Sep 15 2006퉌æí‰ŒæPARIS, France:퉌æElys퀌©e Montmartre Sep 16 2006퉌æí‰ŒæANTWERP, Belgium:퉌æHof Ter Lo Sep 18 2006퉌æí‰ŒæROME, Italy:퉌æTeatro Tendastrisce Sep 19 2006퉌æí‰ŒæMILAN, Italy:퉌æRolling Stone Sep 21 2006퉌æí‰ŒæPRATTELN, Switzerland:퉌æZ7 Sep 22 2006퉌æí‰ŒæM퀁ñNCHEN, Germany:퉌æMuffathalle Sep 23 2006퉌æí‰ŒæSAARBR퀁ñCKEN, Germany:퉌æGarage Sep 25 2006퉌æí‰ŒæHAMBURG, Germany:퉌æGro퀁Ÿe Freiheit 36 Sep 26 2006퉌æí‰ŒæESSEN, Germany:퉌æWeststadthalle Sep 27 2006퉌æí‰ŒæAMSTERDAM, The Netherlands:퉌æParadiso Sep 29 2006퉌æí‰ŒæLONDON, UK:퉌æAstoria Sep 30 2006퉌æí‰ŒæMANCHESTER, UK:퉌æManchester University Oct 01 2006퉌æí‰ŒæGLASGOW, UK:퉌æCarling Academy Oct 05 2006퉌æí‰ŒæBOSTON, USA:퉌æBerklee Performance Center Oct 06 2006퉌æí‰ŒæNEW YORK, New York, USA:퉌æNokia Theater Oct 07 2006퉌æí‰ŒæPHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, USA:퉌æKeswick Theater Oct 11 2006퉌æí‰ŒæLOS ANGELES, California, USA:퉌æHouse of Blues Oct 13 2006퉌æí‰ŒæSAN FRANCISCO, California, USA:퉌æFillmore 퉌æ Porcupine Tree will also release their first live DVD, titled ‘Arriving Somewhere…’, on October 9. 퉌æ For more information check out the band’s official website at www.porcupinetree.com. 퉌æ
