THE PINK STONES

Introducing... THE PINK STONES: a full serving of Peach State picked country-rockers from Athens, Georgia and they're heading our way this October.

It’s been two years since the band released their classic cosmic country album, Introducing… The Pink Stones and the lads have just released a terrific follow up LP titled You Know Who (Normaltown Records).

 

It’s worth having a listen to this glorious album featuring the likes of Nikki Lane and Teddy and the Rough Riders - it’s so good they’ve been hand-picked for Out On The Weekend and will be playing their debut Australian tour, ready to wow audiences with a new chapter in the annals of Cosmic American Music.

 

With a show filled with raucous rock’n’roll, humour and heartaches, THE PINK STONES were first inspired by The Lemonheads’ version of Brass Buttons, only to realise that they young ears were touching the surface of the catalogue of the late great Gram Parsons. And it was from this moment, the then-college students decided they liked country music. Big time.

 

This show is a classic moment of country music and the end result is a fresh and exciting tour from a great band playing excellent songs.

“The Pink Stones, a six-piece outfit creating some of the most shimmering, melancholic Southern rock in years… Introducing doesn’t just tell us who The Pink Stones are, it gets us tickled for what they’ll do next.” – No Depression

‘Athens Georgia, the college town that introduced R.E.M., The Drive-By Truckers, and the B-52s to the world has once again produced an exciting rising new band.’ Under the Radar
