Iration
Sep 19, 2011
Hawaiian-bred, Santa Barbara-based Iration is known for their energetic live performances and relentless touring and that won't be changing anytime soon. The reggae-influenced rockers have announced fall headlining dates for the second annual Lei'd Back Tour kicking off September 24 in Tempe, AZ. Prior to the tour--with support acts Tomorrows Bad Seeds and Through The Roots-- Iration will make appearances at Eugene Celebration in Oregon, a free show at Northern AZ University, Shoreline Jam in Southern California and the Blackwater Music Festival in Florida.
Iration recently performed at this year's Lollapalooza, a first for the band. Also this summer, Iration performed their track "Time Bomb" on the season finale of VH1's "Audrina" show, took to the stage at 91X/San Diego's annual X-Fest--their song "Turn Around" has claimed the #1 spot on the station's playlist for several weeks.
"We love bringing our music live to the fans," said Rediske. "This summer was awesome because we got the chance to introduce ourselves to an even larger audience at the festivals we played. The response has been great! Now we're getting ready to take it back out for the Lei'd Back tour. Stoked!"
The band's latest EP Fresh Grounds released earlier this year via their label 3 Prong Records and a partnership with INgrooves--debuted impressively on multiple charts. The five-song offering came in at the top spot: #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Iration also appeared twice on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart with Fresh Grounds coming in at #3, while their widely-successful 2010 full-length album Time Bomb remained in the #8 spot after 40 weeks on the chart and peaking at #2.
