Album Release Show In New
Orleans At Tipitina’s On July 30th
July
25, 2016 – It was about 20 years ago when NPR’s Morning Edition
said: “It’s not easy to categorize the music of the Squirrel Nut
Zippers, except that it’s hot.”
2016
marks the 20th anniversary of the Squirrel Nut Zippers most
celebrated and commercially successful album Hot. Originally
released in the summer of 1996, Hot was the follow up to the
band’s critically acclaimed debut The Inevitable. By this time the
group had already established a substantial live following across the country
thanks to early support from NPR, college radio and non-commercial
stations. Hot wound up selling over 1.3 million copies.
A
newly re-mastered version of the album along with a bonus track: “The Puffer”
will return to stores this Friday July 29th 2016 on Hollywood Records. Long out
of print on vinyl, Hot will make its glorious return to wax on 180-gram
vinyl.
The Squirrel
Nut Zippers recently performed their first set of tour dates since 2009
which included a performance at the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
The band has now added a fall tour to their upcoming 2016 touring plans
including new stops in: Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Nashville, Durham,
Greensboro and many others. Full details below.
“We
are humbled and incredibly excited by the initial Zippers shows since the
re-launch last month,” band leader Jimbo Mathus commented. “The
experience is not to be missed! The band includes cutting edge talent
from New Orleans, the songs are brought to life in an exciting new way. But
most things remain unchanged... An amazing experience for young and old.”
In
honor of the 20th Anniversary of Hot, the bands
visionary creator Jimbo Mathus, along with founding member and partner Chris
Phillips (Drums), have crafted a brand new stage show including singer Ingrid
Lucia of Flying Neutrino’s fame. Several leading musicians from New
Orleans have also been enlisted to serve up the bands unique musical flavor
which owes its roots to that city.
