Self-produced by PINKISH BLACK's own Jon Teague and Daron Beck, this currently untitled full-length was recorded at The Echo Lab with Matt Barnhart handling engineer duties. Mastering will be done by James Plotkin. To hear some new tracks from the record, fans can catch PINKISH BLACK live on March 7th in Denton, TX at NX35 where the duo will be direct support for EYEHATEGOD. Additional tour dates will also be announced soon, so stay tuned! <b>PINKISH BLACK</b> is the continuation of THE GREAT TYRANT, a three-piece that released one LP following the passing of their bass player, Tommy Atkins. When Atkins died, Teague and Beck decided to change the band's name and remain a two-piece, yet still retain TGT's ground-breaking sound. With no stringed instruments, the duo now relies on aura and raw emotions to obtain their unique heaviness. Their resulting effort, PINKISH BLACK's self-titled debut (Handmade Birds Records), features seven tracks of dark, haunting deathrock--and was named one of the best albums of 2012 by Brooklyn Vegan.com, Stereogum.com, Pitchfork.com, and countless others. <b>PINKISH BLACK live:</b> Jan. 20--The Boiled Owl--Ft Worth, TX Jan. 26--Rubber Gloves--Denton, TX Feb. 6--Club Dada--Dallas, TX Feb. 22--Club Dada--Dallas, TX Mar. 7--NX35--Denton, TX with EYEHATEGOD, SLEEP, SILVER APPLES Mar. 17--Sand Bar--Dallas, TX <b>PINKISH BLACK lineup:</a> Jon Teague - Drums, Synth, Loops Daron Beck - Vocals, Keyboard, Synth <b>PINKISH BLACK online:</b> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pinkishblackband">www.facebook.com/pinkishblackband</a> http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=12316&IdCompany=2 Century Media Records Century Media Records Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:48:11 GMT Fort Worth based duo, <b>PINKISH BLACK</b>, announces their signing to Century Media Records. PINKISH BLACK is the duo Jon Teague on drums and vocalist/synthesizer, Daron Beck. They are the continuation of THE GREAT TYRANT, a three piece that released one LP posthumously following the passing of their bass player, Tommy Atkins. THE GREAT TYRANT was on its way to redefining what heavy music was. When Atkins died, the only changes were the name and how to achieve this as a two piece, the latter being no small feat. PINKISH BLACK's last, self-titled album, released on Handmade Birds, featured seven tracks of dark, intense and at times, haunting songs. As one of the heaviest bands of late to feature no stringed instruments, PINKISH BLACK uses aura and emotions to attain what other bands (and a lot of Orange Amps and down-tuned guitars) fail to do. The band is currently touring and working on a new record, expected to be recorded by the end of the year. <i>"We're excited at the possibilities that working with Century Media presents to us, and that lots of touring and recording will follow."</i> - Jon Teague and Daron Beck <b>PINKISH BLACK live 2012:</b> 11/24 - Fort Worth, TX - Lola's w/ ATRIARCH 11/28 - New York, NY - Home Sweet Home 11/29 - Baltimore, MD - TBA 11/30 - Washington, DC - Comet Ping Pong 12/1 - Brooklyn, NY - Saint Vitus w/ NAAM 12/4 - Richmond, VA - Nile 12/6 - Nashville, TN - TBA w/ PALLBEARER 12/7 - Little Rock, AK - Downtown Music w/ PALLBEARER 12/8 - Fort Worth, TX - Lola's w/ PALLBEARER <p>PINKISH BLACK online:</p> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pinkishblackband">www.facebook.com/pinkishblackband</a> http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=12168&IdCompany=2 Century Media Records Century Media Records Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:36:56 GMT
