Elixir On Mute Announces US Tour in Support of New Release “The Long Halloween”
2 min read
Newly-formed American progressive rock band Elixir On Mute will be touring this fall in support of their second record The Long Halloween.
Songwriter and guitar virtuoso Jordan Ferreira is the central figure to Elixir On Mute. The group formed in early 2010 after a chance meeting between Ferreira and drummer Thomas Pridgen (ex The Mars Volta, The Memorials). A host of respected players since joined the project including bassists Jon Reshard (Prince, The Memorials) and Steve Jenkins (The Roots, Adam Deitch), guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N Roses) and many others in the studio and on the road. Pridgen remains a studio stalwart but will not be touring at this time. Ferreira, along with Reshard on bass and Padget Nanton on drums will hit the road this fall.
Six tracks alone on The Long Halloween provide the time and space needed for its surrealistic sound experience. Think of the cinematic dynamism of Pink Floyd’s The Wallmeets the indie cool of The Mars Volta’s Frances The Mute but interpreted for a new generation of listeners – and just in time for the holiday itself.
