Drink The Sea,<\/strong> a new supergroup uniting some of the most acclaimed musicians of the last three decades, proudly announce their first ever UK and European tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band features Peter Buck<\/strong> (R.E.M.), Barrett Martin<\/strong> (Screaming Trees, Mad Season), Alain Johannes<\/strong> (Eleven, Queens of the Stone Age), Duke Garwood<\/strong> (Mark Lanegan Band), percussionist Lisette Garcia<\/strong>, and bassist Abbey Blackwell<\/strong>. Together, they will perform material from their two forthcoming debut albums, alongside select classics from their celebrated former bands. The performance will also include exclusive film projections from award-winning filmmaker Tad Fettig<\/strong>, making this an unmissable night of music and visual storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDrink The Sea is kind of the band that all of us wanted to be in as we get older. When we were young, we played all the new alternative music, even invented a few styles of our own, and that happened back in the 1990s. Now as older musicians who have known and worked together on different projects over years and even decades, what we have found to be the most interesting thing in this new collaboration, is our focus on songwriting. It\u2019s in our blood to write songs and everyone is really working hard to create something beautiful. I think we have succeeded with these first two debut albums, and it wasn\u2019t hard to do it either, we all had songs flowing constantly and it was just a matter of which ones we were going to finish. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we\u2019ve already started working on album #3. So for this first tour of Europe, the US, and South America, we\u2019re going to play most of these new songs, along with a few favourites from our former bands (R.E.M., Screaming Trees, Mad Season, etc.)  We are also playing with beautiful films that are projected behind us, created by the PBS filmmaker, Tad Fettig. Tad filmed these scenes around the world and they show incredible natural landscapes, people from all over the world, and they just kind of visually weave together the same feelings that our music has: that the Earth and the people are intimately connected and it\u2019s much more beautiful than what the powers above us want us to believe. It’ll just be us on stage with our various instruments, playing these songs along with these beautiful films, and telling the occasional story to bring it all down the Earth. Give us a couple hours of your life, it\u2019s really special and you won\u2019t regret it<\/em>.\u201d – Barrett Martin, Olympia, WA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink The Sea <\/strong>release two highly anticipated albums digitally through Sony\/Orchard on September 19th and October 3rd, followed by a special double CD edition on October 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
