Nick Waterhouse Lengthens Tour, Debuts “Sleeping Pills”

NICK WATERHOUSE EXTENDS WORLDWIDE TOUR; ADDS FALL DATES

GQ PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR “SLEEPING PILLS”

HOLLY CONTINUES TO RECEIVE CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Nick Waterhouse continues to celebrate the release of his latest album Holly by extending his worldwide tour, including new headlining dates in September. Of his praised live performance, The Los Angeles Times explains, “Waterhouse’s show of intensity arrived through an incendiary combo of momentum-building saxophones, two fantastic backing singers, a three-man rhythm section and dueling keyboards and guitars.”

Furthermore, the new video for the track “Sleeping Pills” is streaming now at GQ: ­­­ http://gqm.ag/1m2HKBD and Waterhouse recently performed live in The Roadhouse at KEXP: http://bit.ly/1lZOHF8. See below for full track listing.

Critics hail Holly:

“His solos, haloed with reverb, are rhythmically tight, technically messy, dynamically crafty, almost insightful. All their strangeness matters.”—The New York Times

“Nick Waterhouse is a soul man, through and through…”—Rolling Stone

“A jump in ambition and execution.”—Chicago Tribune

“A Musical Noir Tale”—Vogue

“It’s sexy, it’s smart.”—Esquire

“10 songs that shake, rattle, and roll.”—Boston Globe

“He delivers the music with an often garage-rock rawness, making for a sound both snazzily retro
and thrillingly fresh.”—Philadelphia Inquirer

“…tight horns and percussion with surf rock inspired guitar, whipped up into dance music that swings.”—LA Weekly

“…cohesive selection of work that, presented together, tells a story.”—Paste

Produced by Waterhouse and Kevin Augunas (Cold War Kids, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros), Holly includes original material along side new takes on Young Holt Trio and Mose Allison songs among others. Of the new music, Waterhouse notes, “Thematically this record feels more like a novella, or poem with sections, or even a film, than a collection of songs. It is a work of fiction, with a protagonist, but also a floating omniscient narrator, and fragments of conversation from other characters. I was heavily influenced by my surroundings in young Los Angeles, as well as the concept of fate.”

Waterhouse grew up in Huntington Beach, CA. He established his musical sensibilities in the middle of the burgeoning Southern California psych-garage scene while retaining his unique perspective on the spirit of American rhythm & blues and rock & roll.
