Fla.—New Beat Fund will be touring parts of Fla., from July 3 through July 6. They will be performing a Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg on July, Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on July 4, Tinker Field in Orlando on July 5 and Morocco Shrine Auditorium and Grounds in Jacksonville on July 6. The tour will begin on May 1 at Lido Live in Newport Beach, Calif. and they will be on the same bill as Nikka Costa. It will conclude on Aug. 8 at White River Amphitheater in Auburn, Wash.
“Sponge Fingers” is New Beat Fund’s debut full length album and it will be released on June 16. They will be on tour promoting the album which was mixed by Tony Hoffer (Foster The People, Beck), co-produced by Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5) and was recorded at Sound City Studios. A mixture of surf rock, hip-hop, garage pop and west-coast punk called “G-Punk” can be described to call their upcoming record.
Shelby “Button” Archer is the guitarist, Michael “Silky” Johnson is the drummer, Jeff “Burnie Baker” Laliberte is the guitarist and vocalist, Paul “Snapz” Laliberte and is the bassist of New Beat Fund. The name of the band was inspired by a piggy bank with the words “New Beat Fund” encoded on it and it was hurled at the frontage of a corporate building.
After forming a number of years ago—New Beat Fund released their EP, “Coinz”. “Scare Me” from the EP has been on heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation. It will also be on their upcoming album, “Sponge Fingerz”. Other songs on the album include “Sikka Taking the Hard Way”, “Halloween Birthdaze”, “It’s Cool” and “Sunday Funday”. Kat Corbett, disc jockey for 106.7 KROQ, premiered “It’s Cool” on her radio program and MTVU premiered the video for “Sunday Funday” and can be heard on select radio stations in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Boston.
This tour, New Beat Fund will be sharing stages with Nikka Costa and Shwayze. In the past—they’ve shared stages with blink-182, 3OH!3, Aer and Pepper. The world is their stage, as they have performed venues throughout the west coast and local frat parties.
After playing Vans Warped Tour’s kick-off party a Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, New Beat Fund will embark on the tour with artists representing several genres. The list of the tour dates are below:
