Rivethead teams up with Idol Nikki McKibbin
By
Pegasus News wire
Seems that local metal group
Rivethead and
American Idol almost finalist
Nikki McKibbin will head out on tour together soon. I know what you're thinking, Rivethead and someone from
American Idol?! The band promises that their music will not fall by the way of what
Idol usually puts out there. Read the announcement from the band below:
Nikki McKibbin came in 3rd on the first season of
American Idol, earning her a loyal fan base worldwide and a lucrative recording contract [that] she turned down. IT WAS COUNTRY.
Rivethead has been asked to tour with Nikki, both as her opening band and as her backing band. So, in April and May Rivethead and Nikki will hit Dallas, San Antonio and 5-6 dates in California.
Also, part of the hook-up included the band going into the recording studio to record some tracks for her upcoming release (date set for May 1st at present).
Don't expect to hear pop princess cookie cutter mediocre yawn tracks from this
American Idol and Dallas band.
Nothing that ever touched the
American Idol stage and got respect ever sounded anything like this.
The band finished the music tracks (7 songs) on 3-31 at Nomad Studios in Dallas, TX with the legend, JT Longoria behind the board.
