The 4onthefloor’s new album, Spirit Of Minneapolis, evokes the spirit of American rebellion. That same pioneering spirit that brought us everything from modern aviation to rock & roll. Harnessing that spirit, the band is using it to break down modern music’s barriers down to our basic musical traditions. That ageless sound of rock & roll isn’t what it used to be, but the rumble of stomping feet emanating from Minneapolis is an omen of great things on the horizon.The 4/4 beating of the bass drums recalls the American ideal of onward and upward, turning our prevailing spirits to the sky after a reaching the end of the land. The 4-barreled onslaught can be a train building up steam right behind you, the king of the jungle chasing you down, or your wheels on the highway. It’s the soundtrack of America moving forward.Delta blues, classic rock, and a lifetime of attentive listening have produced a sound whose time has come. The energetic and powerful delivery of this band cannot be overstated. Their huge, soulful anthems leave nothing on the floor as Gabriel Douglas’ guttural howl soars through the ether.There’s a readiness to be found in listeners now. The fervor of discovery and innovation is coming back to the American masses and the excitement surrounding the birth of rock & roll is now roaring out of the doldrums with a fury. Let go. Take flight. Indulge in life’s pleasures and stomp with them.Tour Dates 05.23 - JT Cigarros - Fargo, ND05.24 - The Mill - Iowa City, IA05.25 - Summer Camp - Chillicothe, IL05.26 - Bella Music Festival - Clarks Grove, MN05.28 - Beachland Tavern - Cleveland, OH05.29 - North Star Bar - Philadelphia, PA05.30 - Living Social - Washington, DC05.31 - Wonder Bar - Asbury Park, NJ06.01 - The Gramercy Theatre - New York, NY06.02 - Club Metronome - Burlington, VT06.04 - Cafe Nine - New Haven, CT06.05 - T.T.
