RIVETHEAD and American Idol

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.
