Fla.—Fictionist will begin their summer tour with Neon Trees
and COIN in Fla., from July 9 through 11. The three acts will be performing at
Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale, on July 9. They will continue their tour at
Beacham Theatre in Orlando, on July 10. Then, they will wrap up the Fla. dates
in St. Petersburg, on July 11 at the State Theatre.
Stuart Maxfield is the lead vocalist and bassist, Robbie Connolly is the lead vocalist and guitarists, Brandon Kitterman is the guitarist and Aaron Anderson is the drummer of Fictionist.
Neon Trees, COIN and Fictionist will embark on the tour known as the “Night Out” tour. They will be on tour promoting their newly released self-titled album which was released in October of 2014. It was called "An impressive, assertive, dark and twisty gem ... the kind of album that breaks a band” by IndieMusic.com. It is their fourth album following: “Invisible Hand” (2009), “Lasting Echo” (2010), a self-titled EP (2012) and an unreleased record via Atlantic Records in 2003 produced by Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen’s “Wrecking Ball”).
Salt Lake City Weekly awarded them as the “Best Band of 2015” in the “Best of Utah”. Prior winners of the award went to fellow Utah tour mates, Neon Trees. Billboard inducted them into the “Artist on The Verge, Class of 2015” and other praises for Fictionist include:

"Somewhere in the bubbling cauldron of brilliance that is 'Fictionist,' we're offered an incandescent soundscape that's inescapable, causing us to stop what we're doing and simply enjoy." - The Music Ninja
"The band's analog treated garage-pop has a grainy radiance that pays tribute to the tonal synthy pop-rock of the '80s. They're the MGMT update of Peter Gabriel: incandescent shadow-pop." - Baeble Music
"Fictionist blends Passion Pit's ecstatic synth-pop with moodiness of early Aughts pop-punk, and the result is something that will be stuck in your head for days." - CMJ.com
