Serena-Maneesh confirm Fall US Tour Dates 25 Jun 2010

Norway's Serena-Maneesh have a very busy few months ahead!  The 5-piece band will be traveling throughout Europe, playing festival dates in July, August and September.

August 12th will mark the U.S. release of a split 12" single with Toronto's F**ked Up on the Norwegian and Canadian label Best Of Both Records.  This will be a limited edition release, with only 1,000 copies being pressed.  The Serena-Maneesh side is a 7 minute song called "Opium Priest" and the F**ked Up side is a song called "Here Lies Are" which F**ked Up previously made available as an MP3 on their blog.

Serena-Maneesh will make their way back to our shores in late September for their second U.S. tour following the March 23rd release of S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor on 4AD.  This next run of dates will have them here through the middle of October, co-headlining with Colorado's Woven Hand.  ALL DATES BELOW.


MP3 for "I Just Want To See Your Face" is here.

Praise for S-M 2: Abyss In B Minor out now on 4AD:
"Who knew oblivion could be so lovely."  FILTER

"S-M#2 is lean, hungry, focussed and watertight, packing at least the same amount of ideas into half the timespan of its predecessor. In short, if we must have a shoegazing revival, let it sound like this- picking up where the best of those bands left off, realising the possibilities of melody, imagination and loud guitars allied to digital technology's distorting potential, and taking it to the next stage. Lift your eyes from your footwear, and look to the stars instead." The Quietus

"As they demonstrated with their debut, and stay true to with this release, Serena Maneesh have a sound that is very immense - it is large and dark and all-consuming. It is the sound of sorcery and post-apocalyptic worlds and #000000." DROWNED IN SOUND
