With their sophomore release, Empty Bottle already outselling their debut album in less than a year, Bremerton, WA-based alt-country/rockabilly band, Tumbledown has teamed up again with Mexico’s Cafiena-Riot Radio Records and Japan’s Bullion Records to help broaden the band’s international fanbase. In addition to having their album available in Japan, Tumbledown frontman and guitarist Mike Herrera (MxPx, Arthur) and guitarist Jack Parker will head to Japan, to support the release with two acoustic performances in Tokyo. Less than a week later, Herrera will rejoin Parker along with the two remaining members of the band, standup bassist Marshall Trotland and drummer Harley Trotland. The group will depart to Mexico for a two week tour before completing a string of West Coast dates. Late last year Tumbledown teamed up with PasteMagazine.com for their Dear Diary series with Parker giving fans a first hand look into their previous one-month trek. To catch up, visit www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/diary/ for entries 1-3. Stay tuned for more entries from Japan, Mexico and their first West Coast tour. The music of Tumbledown takes that sepia-tinged image of Americana and sends it hurtling into the present, with the help of some punk-inflected riffs and pure rock & roll attitude. Empty Bottle, the band’s second release through indie label End Sounds, is proving to be a defining album for Tumbledown, a follow-up to their self-titled album released in 2009. With press accolades, radio play and tour dates under their belts already supporting Empty Bottle, the international releases and confirmed West Coast dates is proving the New Year will bring new and exciting opportunities for the band.
