Anberlin Debut On Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart At #19 With 'Cities' Band Will Perform First Single "Godspeed" On The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson On Monday March 5, 2007
Headlining US Tour Off To A Great Start With Eight Of The First Ten Shows Selling Out. Band Streams Entire 'Cities' Album On Myspace, Logging Over 500,000 Hits In Two Days. SXSW Performance Confirmed For Wednesday March 14, 2007 At Spiro's Amphitheater.
ANBERLIN have entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at #19 by selling over 33,525 copies in one week of their much-anticipated CITIES album, available in regular and special editions. CITIES marks the group's third full-length offering and is the second highest CD debut for a Tooth & Nail artist.
ANBERLIN are set to make their late-night television debut when they perform "Godspeed"--the first single off CITIES--on the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Monday, March 5, 2007.
CITIES--the follow-up to their 2005 breakthrough album Never Take Friendship Personal which went on to sell over 140,000 copies--is already garnering major critical praise:
NEW YORK TIMES "...grand and rousing..." (2/19/07).
USA TODAY "...towering melodies." (2/20/07).
BILLBOARD "Cities is a whirlwind tour through the world of driving rock act Anberlin, with producer Aaron Sprinkle again serving as the guide to the band's adrenaline-fueled endeavors of the heart. The sheer force of first single 'Godspeed' destroys the notion that a pop song can't kick some furious butt if it's recorded right." (2/20/07).
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER "...quality craftsmanship. ...make way for 'Inevitable': When you put softie hooks like that to a lyric like I want to be the last first kiss that you'll ever have,' you end up with inescapable, last-a-lifetime stuff." (2/23/07).
ANBERLIN's nationwide headlining U.S. tour is off to a great start as eight of the first ten shows have sold out, including New York City's Bowery Ballroom, Philadelphia's Theatre of Living Arts, Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club, Charlotte's Tremont Music Hall, Boston's Axis and Chicago's Metro to name a few.
Their headlining run will hit Los Angeles Tuesday, March 13 at the El Rey Theatre and this year's SXSW Festival in Austin Wednesday, March 14 for the Tooth & Nail Records Showcase at Spiro's Amphitheater (outside).
In other news, this week, ANBERLIN streamed their new CITIES album in its entirety for fans on their MySpace page, logging a massive 500,000 hits in just two days.
Meanwhile, the band has announced exciting offers for their fans to win a slew of prizes including an XBOX 360, a 30 GB Video iPod, a SONY PSP, a custom ANBERLIN Epiphone Guitar as well as a brand new 2007 Volkswagon Rabbit.
