Johnny E Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE End date 5/6/09 Press Contact: Beth Fleenor* The Frank Agency 206.491.0516 beth@thefrankagency.org *CDs, photos, and more information available upon request REPTET EAST COAST TOUR – MAY 2009 “This Seattle sextet does it all: it grooves, it rocks, it squawks - occasionally, it even talks. Mostly, it sounds like a New Orleans jazz band on crystal meth.” - Jazziz Magazine “(Reptet) create a Frank Zappa meets Dirty Dozen Brass Band atmosphere of wacky fun and highly skilled musicianship.” - All About Jazz May 1 Annandale-on-the-Hudson, NY - BARD College ‘Spring Fling’ May 2 Brooklyn, NY (Flatbush) - Vox Pop (w/ Ty Citerman of Gutbucket and Das Vibenbass) May 3 New York, NY - DROM (w/ Burnt Sugar) May 4 Philadelphia, PA - Chris’ Jazz Cafe May 5 Brooklyn, NY (Redhook) - The Jalopy Theatre For more information please visit www.reptet.com or www.monktail.com. The Band Reptet (Monktail Records) will be touring the east coast in May to promote their new, critically acclaimed record, Chicken or Beef? Their brief tour includes return visits to Manhattan, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. Winners of two 2007 Earshot Golden Ear Awards, this genre bending Seattle based band is comprised of six multi-instrumentalists who have an expansive approach to music, performing original compositions that incorporate jazz, rock, ska, punk, modern classical, avant garde, eastern European folk influences and more. Their internationally acclaimed 2006 release, "Do This!" (Monktail Records) won many accolades and was chosen top Jazz CD of the Year by Jazziz Magazine's Alex Gelfand. Their new disc, “Chicken or Beef?” (Monktail Records) released in June 2008 was chosen finalist for Jazz Record of the Year by the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards. Their live performances have been described as, “arresting, compelling and just plain cranked-up!” with stage shows evolving into transformative performance art pieces using costumes, story telling, dance routines and absurdist humor. Reptet have proven themselves to be a unique and utterly enthralling multi-leveled experience leaving audiences wanting more. This internationally touring ensemble will be making a trip through Canadian in the summer of 2009, will launch their first European tour in the fall 2009 and be releasing their first 10" vinyl record later in the year.
