Los Lonely Boys tune up fall dates as "Heaven" tops charts
Texas rockers Los Lonely Boys will kick off a new round of U.S. tour dates in October, on the heels of releasing a new DVD and attaining a No. 1 hit with their song "Heaven."
The trio of brothers from the small town of San Angelo, TX, released their debut album in August of 2003 on the small Or Music imprint. The band drew a small but rabid following, which exploded in 2004 when Sony picked up distribution for the release and created some radio buzz for "Heaven" track, which introduced them to a much larger following.
In March of 2004, they swept the South by Southwest music awards in their adopted hometown of Austin, and filmed a concert there that was released in September on DVD as "Los Lonely Boys - Texican Style (Live from Austin)."
"Heaven," the lead-off hit from the band's self-titled debut, currently sits atop the Billboard Adult Contemporary Singles chart. The track has enjoyed airplay success across rock, pop and country genres, even topping the CMT video-airplay chart earlier in the year.
In the past year, the band has managed a fair share of high-profile guest appearances, including recording with Willie Nelson (an early booster of the band who financed some of their early demos), playing with Carlos Santana and landing a slot at this year's Bridge Benefit concert, alongside Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others.
The fall itinerary takes the band into theatres in several parts of the country. The U.S. tour is expected to continue through the winter and into early 2005.
