ST PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES ANNOUNCE LEG THREE OF THEIR ANGELS IN SCIENCE FICTION TOUR WITH NEW DATES IN ASHEVILLE, BALTIMORE, PHILADELPHIA, ALBANY AND MORE ANGELS IN SCIENCE FICTION OUT NOW   DEBUT THEIR COVER OF BAY CITY ROLLER’S “SATURDAY NIGHT” “One of the nation’s best live bands”—NPR

Today, St. Paul & The Broken Bones announces leg three of their Angels In Science Fiction tour and will bring their legendary live show to cities including Asheville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Albany and more with support from Sugadaisy (full dates below). Pre-sale for these dates will begin on Wednesday, October 25th at 10am local time, and general on-sale will begin on Friday, October 27th at 10am local time here. Current dates with support from special guest Maggie Rose are on sale now here. The upcoming performances celebrate St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ acclaimed album Angels In Science Fiction, out now on ATO Records. Produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, John Prine, Elvis Presley) and recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis, Angels In Science Fiction was written in the span of a few weeks after bandleader Paul Janeway learned that his wife was pregnant with their daughter, Marigold. Following the examples set by greats like Aristotle, William James and John Steinbeck, Janeway penned the album as a series of letters to his then-unborn daughter; listen here. Praise for Angels In Science Fiction… “Some very sweet and very tender moments on it, but also, a little moody in places, you know, the world isn’t always beautiful, you gotta keep it real even for your kids…a great record.”—NPR All Songs Considered “…they have abandoned the bluesy Southern soul that brought them national attention on their 2014 debut, gradually but resolutely striding into an edgier, indie approach. Three subsequent releases included touches of psychedelia with nods to experimental, sonic, and lyrically challenging territory…This one moves the needle even further.”—American Songwriter “Thematically deeply personal, the 12-track album reflects…vulnerability through its nuanced musicality as well. While maintaining some of the R&B and experimental sounds of previous records, Angels in Science Fiction also captures musical moments of quietude and subtlety.” —No Depression “These songs have tender themes, reflected in the overall gentle sound of the record. Building on the sound of St. Paul & The Broken Bones’ 2022 album, The Alien Coast, the music on this record is lovely and lilting, moving, and melancholic.”—PopMatters “The album is unequivocally emotionally rich, with most songs building to vibrant climaxes after mellow beginnings…terrific vocals from Janeway.”—Glide Founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 2011, St. Paul & The Broken Bones consists of Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone) and Amari Ansari (saxophone). The eight-piece ensemble burst into the world with their 2014 debut Half the City, establishing a sound that quickly became a calling card and landing the band a slew of major festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella and Glastonbury. Critical praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN and NPR followed, leading to shared stages with some of the world’s biggest artists—Elton John and The Rolling Stones among them—and launching an impressive run of headlining tours behind what Esquire touted as a “potent live show that knocks audiences on their ass.” The group has continued to expand their sound with every record, branching out well beyond old-school soul into sleek summertime funk and classic disco on albums like 2018’s Young Sick Camellia. Their latest LP, Angels In Science Fiction, stretches their limbs further afield, building on the shadowy psychedelia and intricate, experimental R&B of 2022’s The Alien Coast. The new record finds Janeway at his very best. With Angels In Science Fiction, St. Paul & The Broken Bones have crafted their most moving, comprehensive work—spanning their entire sonic and emotional scope.
