Los Angeles (California), USA - Summer’s going to be a lot hotter this year in the American Southwest, as Los Angeles-based critical and fan favorites Mezklah – the duo renowned for having created their own genre, “tribal electronica” – will be bringing their unique musical stylings across the Mojave and all the way to Tennessee, in a five-city tour this June.

Expect the duo’s irresistible music to be heard reverberating across the desert as they tear into tunes from their new CD, Spider Monkey. The band will be making rapid-fire stops in Phoenix (Arizona), El Paso (Texas), Austin (Texas), Memphis (Tennessee), and Albuquerque (New Mexico), hitting five cities in just six days.

Mezklah will have just returned to the country, having spent the month of May on a tour of the European continent. With their whip-crack attack of Angel Garcia’s sung/spoken English/Spanish lyrics and Greg Hernandez’ sonic guitar blasts, audiences across the Border States can expect to be blown away.

Angel and Greg are especially excited about their rapid trek across the desert and the stops they have chosen for this lightning-fast tour. “Mezklah has always been about exploring different cultures, learning about the things that make them special and then adding it all in to the ‘Mezklah’ mix. Each of the cities we’ll be stopping at has its own unique culture – and we’re ready to experience all of them. And we look forward to the chance to share our music with brand new audiences that are looking for something different and that they’ve likely never heard before.”

TOUR DATES AND CITIES:

June 14 - Phoenix, AZ
June 15 - El Paso, TX
June 16 - Austin, TX
