Payola: Summer of Sin Tour

Payola take time away from the studio this summer to perform a few dates on their Summer of Sin Tour 2009. The band are road testing songs from the new album "tentatively-titled" Black Swansong and release the first single late Feb early March entitled "The Invitation."

Guitarist Solomon Cole describes it as influenced by the likes of early Prince meets Led Zeppelins "Immigrant Song" at an MGMT gathering. "Very sexy, but liable to punch you over in a dark alley and make off with your wallet . . . "

The live shows promise to be a hedonistic mix of bad ass 70's soul, guitar welding mayhem and danceable electronics, designed to make you sweat. Cole says, "Payola's live performances epitomize the sexually charged revues of Ike and Tina Turner with the charisma and feel good nature of Sly and The Family Stone. We combine the minor keys of classic soul music and the grit, swagger, and inventiveness of epic rock'n'roll, perfectly bridging the gap in sweat and volume between maybe Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin."

You can catch them live in concert.
