New Solo Track From Johnny Richter “Good Pot 2” Available Online, Summer Tour Dates

To mark the release of the group’s thirteenth studio album, Mile High (out August 14th), the Kottonmouth Kings have reunited with Saint Dog, the original emcee who appeared on the group’s debut album and spit his lispy rhymes on classic songs such as “Suburban Life” and “Bump.” Saint Dog recorded the explosive new track “Judgment Day,” which sees him ripping it up with the Kings for the first time since 1998’s Royal Highness.

“D-Loc had a song idea and thought it would be cool to get Saint Dog on it. We flew Saint out from Minnesota and just started vibing on music together and reviving that musical chemistry we had together,” commented Brad X. “We initially just went in to record just the one track, but once we got in the studio together we just started banging out songs and came out with six new songs. I think it was really therapeutic for all of us and it was a great creative spark on this record.”

While in the studio for Mile High, The Kings own Johnny Richter recorded a new solo track titled “Good Pot 2.” The track is online for fans to listen to as they anxiously await the full album from The Kings. Check out the song at http://bit.ly/LRDW28.

To celebrate the release of their most potent album to date, the Kottonmouth Kings are taking their mind bending brand of rip-hop on the road for one of the most anticipated underground packages this year, The Mile High Tour. The Kings enlisted horror master Prozak, underground heavyweight Big B, and country hip-hop misfits the Moonshine Bandits. See below for dates.

CITIZEN COPE ANNOUNCES IN-STORE PERFORMANCES TO PROMOTE HIS NEW ALBUM,ONE LOVELY DAY. Performances/signings scheduled for New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and hometown Washington D.C. One Lovely Day scheduled for release on July 17th

Posted in Artist Watch, New Music, News, Releases with tags Citizen Cope, Clarence Greenwood, music, One Lovely Day, rock, The Rock Tribune, TheRockTribune.com on June 29, 2012 by Randy

Citizen Cope (songwriter and producer Clarence Greenwood) is getting ready to release his fifth album, One Lovely Day. The new album, which features the hit title track, will be released on July 17th through Rainwater Recordings / MRI / RED. Cope will be celebrating the release of One Lovely Day by performing and signing copies of the album at four retail stores across the country, including three Barnes & Noble locations.

Citizen Cope Signings/Performances:

7/16/2012 | Barnes & Noble New York (Union Square) | 33 E. 17th Street, NY, NY 10003 | 7 PM

7/17/2012 | Barnes & Noble Washington D.C. | 555 12th Street NW | Washington, D.C. 20004 | 6:30 PM

7/18/2012 | Barnes & Noble Philadelphia | 1805 Walnut Street | Philadelphia, PA 19103 | 7 PM

7/19/2012 | Easy Street Records | 20 Mercer Street | Seattle, WA | 6 PM

Recorded in Brooklyn and written / produced by Clarence, the sounds on One Lovely Day are Southern rural, big sky lonely, concrete urban, and painfully romantic. For over a decade, Citizen Cope has been building a profoundly dedicated following, tirelessly bringing his urban folk-with a band or simply his guitar- to far corners of the US and beyond.

“Rawness improbably balanced by a mixture of danger and delicacy is what gives Citizen Cope his edge,” writes Rolling Stone. “As a singer, songwriter and producer, he stands alone-an artist immune to corruption.” A child of the seventies, Citizen Cope is the radically mashed-up product of Greenville, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee; Vernon, Texas; Austin, Texas; Washington, DC; and Brooklyn, New York. These locations are felt everywhere in his stories. Folk tales-whether through William Faulkner or Big Bill Broonzy-shaped his sensitivity. In ’80s Austin, he took sound classes and found himself fooling with a primitive four-track setup. Turntables intrigued him, and he heard hip hop as an inspired invention. For years, he got lost in his self-designed lab, cooking up beats and motifs that only later would be shaped into songs, some recorded by Carlos Santana, Dido and Richie Havens.
