Big Head Todd & the Monsters scare up more tour dates

November 19, 2003 01:53 PM
As work winds down on their forthcoming album, Big Head Todd & the Monsters turn their attention to an early 2004 tour schedule that continues to grow.

The band, which plans to hit the road on Feb. 15, has filled many of the blanks on its February and March itinerary. Additions include a two-night stand at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

Before launching their tour, the Colorado-based roots rockers are due to give a New Year's Eve performance in Denver. The group has tapped the Hazel Miller Band to open, according to Big Head Todd & the Monsters' website.

Fans in attendance at the New Year's Eve show can expect to get an early listen to songs that will appear on the group's upcoming release, "Crimes of Passion." The group recently announced that it was putting the finishing touches on the set, the recording of which was split between a Boulder, CO, studio, and singer-guitarist Todd Park Mohr's home studio in Colorado's Yampa Valley.

"Crimes of Passion" is the follow up to last year's "Riviera," which marked the group's first new studio set in five years.

In other band news, the group's cover of the John Lee Hooker song "Boom Boom" was recently commissioned for use in an Olympus camera television commercial. The trio recorded a new version of the song that replaces the lyrics "boom boom" with "zoom zoom" in order to "highlight the camera's 10x optical zoom," according to a message posted at the group's website.
