DAMIEN RICE TO BEGIN U.S. TOUR DECEMBER 6
Damien Rice will begin a tour of the U.S. December 6 on the West Coast. Rice's live performances, which the New York Times has called "irresistible," will feature material from his highly anticipated album, 9. He will also perform songs from 9 on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" November 9 and on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" November 17. Heffa/Vector/Warner Brothers will release the album November 14.
Rice will be joined on tour by his band, with which he wrote and recorded 9 over the last two years: Lisa Hannigan (vocals), Vyvienne Long (cello), Tom Osander (drums and percussion), and Shane Fitzsimons (bass).
9 is the follow-up to Rice's debut album O, which has sold well over two million copies worldwide. Prior to reaching Gold® sales Stateside, O achieved triple-Platinum sales status in the UK and spent over 80 weeks on the U.K. Top 75 Album Chart. It received extraordinary critical praise and was featured in numerous Best Albums of 2003 lists, including Entertainment Weekly, People, Blender and Rolling Stone, which called O "one of the most gorgeous first albums in recent memory." Newsweek hailed O as "an out-and-out gorgeous CD...full of undiluted, unfalsified emotions." The album includes the songs "Volcano," "Cannonball," and "Blower's Daughter," the central piece of music in Mike Nichols' Oscar-nominated film Closer.
Rice performed songs from O in a rare two-song performance on "The Late Show with David Letterman," where he has appeared twice, as well as on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "The Late Late Show," "Austin City Limits" and "Last Call with Carson Daly." In 2003, Rice was awarded the prestigious Short List Prize in the U.S. as well as being nominated for a BRIT Award and an NME Award.
