PARTICLE continues to spread its monster grooves coast to coast with newly announced cross country tour dates

Los Angeles-based quartet Particle is taking a brief hiatus from recording its second studio album with newly announced spring tour dates.

For this spring tour, Particle will be bringing along some friends. Up and comers Boombox will support in half a dozen cities including Lawrence, Nashville, Buffalo and Detroit. Jerry Joseph will join the band in Boston at the Paradise and on April 20 at The Bowery Ballroom in New York as part of the Green Apple Music Festival.
Other tour stops include Sunsation at Copper Mountain in Colorado on April 1 with The North Mississippi Allstars as well a stop in New Orleans during Jazzfest at The House of Blues.
Since forming in the fall of 2000, Los Angeles-based Particle has enjoyed a successful ride that has taken them to eight countries for over 850 shows.

Particle forged its signature electronic fused rock sound by playing late night parties and high profile festivals across the country including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Festival, Coachella, and Bonnaroo to name a few. Once dubbed the 'late night kings', Particle has garnered a lot of hype for creating a series of out of the box special events across the country.

In 2004, the band released its debut album Launchpad produced by Tom Rothrock to critical praise from fans and media alike. Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and URB ran glowing features on the band and the Associated Press named the album among the year’s Top Ten. The album’s title track was remixed by Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay and released as an EP later that same year.

Shortly thereafter, Particle formed a percussive driven electronic side project with Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart called Hydra and created an entire new repertoire for the tour. A sonic shift happened, allowing the band to add new directions to their already diverse style.

With the addition of Ben Combe on guitar and vocals, the band released a DVD and live CD featuring special guests Joe Satriani, Robbie Krieger, Blackalicious, and DJ Logic last year. They also recorded a song for the Scarface: The World Is Yours Video Game entitled “American Dream.” Particle is currently working on their sophomore studio effort with producer Steve Goldman and engineer Marc Johnson to be released in 2007.
