Sleigh Bells Announce Massive U.S.-European Tour
Sleigh Bells announced a slew of 2017 tour dates to promote latest album, Jessica Rabbit. The tour kicks off February 13th in Hamburg, Germany. After a brief run Europe and the U.K., the duo touches down stateside for a gig in Charlottesville, GA on March 1st. They’ll play across the U.S. and wrap up in Anaheim, CA.
Jessica Rabbit, Sleigh Bell’s first album since 2013. The record marks the first time members Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss allowed a third-party to help them with their songwriting process. Two songs were cowritten by producer Mike Elizondo and others included credits to Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent.
“Derek and I have always kept a very closed process so there was a lot of anxiety going into working with somebody,” Krauss told Rolling Stone earlier this year. “Mike had a way about observing us, realizing how we would be comfortable and then slowly offering just excellent feedback … It was just the most subtle and important influence.”
When Jessica Rabbit arrived in November, it peaked at No. 8 on Billboard‘s Alternative Albums chart.
