Politically-charged rockers State Radio will close 2008 with
a performance at Washington,
DC’s 9:30 Club on December 26.
The special gig is billed as an early “welcome to the neighborhood” party for President
Elect Barack Obama. In addition, State Radio frontman Chad Stoke Urmston will
play two rare, solo acoustic shows in his hometown of Boston on December 6 and 7
as part of a week-long celebration leading up to the
60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on
December 10.
State Radio recently capped off a 24-city Take Back The
Country tour in support of its 2008 release, Year of the Crow. The band has been documenting the tour and sharing live video with their
fans along the way, from backstage footage
to stage performances.
Prior to these headlining dates, State Radio played with
Rage Against The Machine at an antiwar rally at Denver’s
Democratic National convention, joined Tom Morello for a handful
of dates on the “Justice Tour,” opened for Dave Matthews Band for a few
shows and appeared at a number of major U.S. festivals this past summer including Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Wakarusa, Rothbury Festival and Mile High
Festival.
