Tumbledown's tour kicks off today with an added bonus for the fans that are able to catch them out on the road.  Tumbledown will have an exclusive tour/direct only live CD for sale.  Tumbledown's Live In Tulsa was recorded and mixed by Stephen Egerton (Descendents) and comes in a glossy 7" like printed cardboard sleeve.  If you don't already have the band's full length "Tumbledown", pick it up on the tour for $5 if you buy it with the limited live CD, at a retailer near you, or direct from the End Sounds site.

Tumbledown announces a new tour for Spring 2010.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN ANNOUNCE

acts, the raw talent and energy behind MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN’s multi-genre

appeal has fans scrambling for access to more live shows. Now, their collective plea has been

answered and a new tour is scheduled to cover the Pacific Coast and outward into the Southwest.

The month of March will feel as wild as a Texas tornado with a packed series of 19 show dates,

aptly named the North by Southwest Tour. TUMBLEDOWN fans can also look forward to their

favorite punk-a-billy band making an appearance at the annual SXSW Music Festival this year.

Under the creative influence of many of the great American songwriters and countless classic

punk rock shows, forged out of personal heartbreak and reflection, MIKE HERRERA’S

TUMBLEDOWN was born. Following the release of their self-titled debut album, through End

Sounds, and the praise for the hit single “Butcher of San Antone”, Mike Herrera and company

now face the open road yet again. They will be kicking off their new tour on Friday, March 5 in

Yakima, WA, winding it all up back in Seattle, WA on Friday, March 31.

While the world-traveling Bremerton, WA musician Mike Herrera may be most well-known as

the dynamic bassist and lead singer of the Left Coast three-piece punk band MxPx, beneath all

the tattoos and piercings, the ranting and stage wrecking, Herrera has long been an acousticwielding

songsmith. MIKE HERRERA’S TUMBLEDOWN captures the punk rock energy of

MxPx, while also displaying the soulful experiences of Herrera’s travels along the lonely, open

road, coining their own unique pop-punk-a-billy sound.

lead guitarist Jack Parker, standup bassist Marshall Trotland, and drummer Harley Trotland.
