Next week, The Twilight Singers will be releasing their fifth album, and their first for Sup Pop records. The album is titled Dynamite Steps and the band will celebrate the launch of the record by performing two special shows at Amoeba Music in Los Angeles (Feb 15th) and the San Francisco Amoeba Music store (Feb 17th). These will be the first ever in store performances for the group. The band will also be performing their first single “On The Corner” on Jimmy Kimmel Live on February 23rd.

In addition, Greg Dulli and the band have announced a slew of tour dates, and he has not forgotten about his home away from home, Cincinnati. Supported by another band that is no stranger to the Queen City, Margot & The Nuclear So & So’s, The Twilight Singers will be in town on May 16th for a show at the historic Southgate House in Newport. Richard Edwards of ‘Margot’ had this to say about hitting the road with The Twilight Singers.

“We’re excited to get back out and see the USA with such an influential songwriter as Greg Dulli,” commented lead singer Richard Edwards. “Babies will be born because of these shows. Furthermore, we hope The Twilight Singers play ‘I’m Ready’ at least a few of the shows.”
