HOPEWELL TOUR TO SXSW WITH BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW

With a new album ready for release this June, on Teepee Records, Hopewell are once again hitting the road. Catch them as they head to SXSW with Graveface Records’ Black Moth Super Rainbow. Since the release of Hopewell & The Birds of Appetite, Hopewell have logged over 200 shows, crisscrossed the US, and received rave reviews from the most stoic of journalists. Notable appearances include SXSW, CMJ, Noise Pop Festival and tours with the Black Angels, Mark Gardner, the High Dials and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

At age 19, Hopewell’s founder/lead singer, Jason Russo found himself traversing the world with the now legendary Mercury Rev. Following Revs breakthrough record Deserter’s Songs, Russo struck out on his own to focus on Hopewell, described by NME as: “Breathtaking, bombastic psychedelic rock with a dark turbulence at it's heart; the two elements tugging at each other until a music that is both disquietingly beautiful and emotionally powerful is all that remains."
