To celebrate the release of the new album “Secret Rituals” on June 17, The Grates are hitting the road again!
Having spent the better part of two years immersing themselves in Brooklyn culture and taking a bite of the Big Apple, its fitting that The Grates new album Secret Rituals should take on a few traits of the city that never sleeps.
Tough in its intent and infectious in its delivery, their third album holds the promise of drawing an army of new fans to their beck and call. The Grate will have those fans marching to see them in June 2011 when they kick off a series of intimate gigs to show off their new wares.
The Grates live performances are now the stuff of legend. Patiences dance moves are oft-copied, but never perfected. Patiences gambolling antics take on another level with this rugged new material that she has described as her most lyrically open and challenging yet. A full live band joins John and Patience on stage to round out the sound and capture the full extent of the studio recording.
The Grates new album Secret Rituals is due out on June 17th, 2011, through Dew Process/UMA.
