⚊TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD COMPLETES LUCK AND TROUBLE RECORDING, RELEASES NEW SINGLE⚊ 

 

(Denver, Colo., December 9, 2009) -- Local genre-bending rock band Tequila Mockingbird are pleased to announce the completion of their third album, Luck and Trouble, and the release of its first single, "Actual Size." The album will be officially released at a release party at the Toad Tavern in Littleton, Colo., on Friday, February 12, 2010.

 

Luck and Trouble is Tequila Mockingbird's third album to date. Produced by Bill Thomas and mastered by multi-GRAMMY-winning David Glasser of Airshow Mastering in Boulder, Colo.,Luck and Trouble sums up "how lucky we are to get in trouble together," says songwriter/guitarist Daniel Paschke. It's also a crowning achievement in the band's decade-spanning career, setting up the seasoned professionals for their next big leap into defining who they are, where they've been and where they're going. With nine new original, diverse tracks, Tequila Mockingbird's songwriting abilities and strong instrumentalism shine through with maturity and strength, while singer Wendy Clark's vocals rise above with an unmatched intensity and conviction.

 

The album's first single, "Actual Size," was written by singer-songwriter and award-winning filmmaker Eric Shiveley and debuted on the online radio station, Party 934.com on Saturday, December 5. Chris K. of the syndicated program, The Colorado Sound, also added the track to his rotation that same day and says it's "the strongest testament yet of this longtime Denver band's ability to shake loose the branches of more sedentary, laid-back alternative roots-rock... and give Wendy Clark some serious credit here...she stands toe-to-toe with Chrissie Hynde in the 'chicks that really rock' department."

 

Since 1996, Tequila Mockingbird's infectious repertoire of original, catchy tunes steeped in American roots music has been delighting audiences across the Rocky Mountain Region. Their previous albums, UFO (1998) and Alien-American (2004) were well-received by fans and critics alike. UFO features bass tracks by Rob Squires of Big Head Todd and the Monsters: "I loved working on UFO and liked the music very much! The record turned out great. I truly believe in the musicians behind it!" Michael Roberts of Westword called UFO "a tuneful collection of ringing rock songs highlighted by the strong singing of Wendy Clark." Similar acclaim followed with Alien-American: "catchy and listenable from start to finish," wrote Roberts.
