After months of speculation, superstar producer Pretty Lights has finally announced the details for his upcoming fall tour, which will feature a live band. In a statement posted to Facebook, the producer, real name Derek Vincent Smith, said,
My dream has come true. I will be hitting the road for my 2013 fall tour with a FULL, AWESOME LIVE BAND! We will be fusing new, hot production with the live band’s gritty old school hip-hop soul break styles in a way that production and a live band have never been heard together before. The musicians that have come together for this manifestation of Pretty Lights are brilliant and so insanely talented. My world has grown from computers and live production to a full analog sound sculpting, band dubbing, bass playing, looping, synth and sample playing modular command center. It is so much fun. The Pretty Lights show has evolved, drastically. Red Rocks in August was the first live band show and we’ve been rehearsing ever since. Without a doubt, I am more excited than I have ever been to take the PL show on the road.
The live band will feature Adam Deitch and Borahm Lee of Break Science, Scott Flynn of John Brown’s Body, Eric Bloom of Lettuce, and Brian Coogan. You can see a teaser video for the upcoming tour, as well as complete dates, below.
