Suckers To Support Yeasayer

• 14th Oct 2010

Brooklyn’s Suckers are back on the road this fall after a hometown appearance supporting the National at New York’s Terminal 5 as part of Spin’s 25th Anniversary shows. Suckers will be off making an appearance at the “8th Annual KEXP BBQ” in Seattle and appearing at MusicFestNW in Portland (with the Dodos). They’ll be joining Menomena for a month of North American tour dates kicking off Saturday, September 10 at the Showbox in Seattle. Following the tour, they’ll be making their first trip abroad to support Yeasayer on dates in Ireland, the UK and France.

In two short years, Suckers, aka Quinn Walker, Austin Fisher, Pan and Brian Aiken, emerged from their homebase in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a sound and aesthetic that garnered critical acclaim both in NYC and in the online community. Suckers released their debut full-length album Wild Smile in June via Frenchkiss Records, to great reviews thus far. The new record is a quirky spaced-out trip through the melodramatic minds of guitar-wielding, vocal-duty sharing cousins Austin Fisher and Quinn Walker, multi-instrumentalist Pan and drummer Brian Aiken. With effortless allusions to African rhythms and synth-saturated ballads of old, Suckers combine influences to offer their signature sound on Wild Smile. The album was recorded, produced and mixed in NYC by Chris Zane (Passion Pit/Walkmen), except for “It Gets Your Body Movin'” (produced by Anand Wilder and Chris Moore) and “Save Your Love For Me” (Chris Moore), and was mastered by Joe Laporta (Vampire Weekend) and launched them to global acclaim via outlets such as Pitchfork, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, NME, Nylon, Under The Radar, Interview and many others.
