Winnie McCroy READ TIME: 3 MIN.
On September 25, Hunter Valentine and Sick of Sarah will launch The Ladykillers Tour, daring you to join them again for a night of power rock music and fiercely intoxicating live performances. The 2014 Ladykillers Tour includes stops in more than fifteen North American cities, including New York, Chicago, Miami and Dallas.
The Ladykillers Tour has always been a celebration of female fronted bands that rock the stage and crowd with unrelenting raucous power. The first national run was in 2012 and left fans screaming for more.This second run includes previous headliners Hunter Valentine and Sick of Sarah, and promises to take the Ladykillers' legacy to an entirely new level.
The announcement of the 2014 Ladykillers Tour follows Hunter Valentine's extraordinary three year journey from veteran indie artists to breakout music and television personalities. Their 2012 endeavors included starring in a hit reality television show on Showtime, releasing their third studio album, "Collide and Conquer," and completing their third North American tour in two years.
They wrapped up the 2012 tour by doing a showcase in Tokyo, Japan and then performing at a star-studded benefit concert in New York City, "Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays." Hunter Valentine's 2013 exploits included touring with heavyweight punk rockers Sum 41 in the United States, embarking on a promotional tour in Australia, headlining the European leg of their Collide and Conquer Club Tour, touring with legendary singer and songwriter pop superstar Cyndi Lauper, and performing at "Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays" for the second year in a row.
Full steam ahead, 2014 has already included Hunter Valentine joining the infamous Vans Warped Tour and making their return to television on a new VH1 show with music icon Linda Perry, the singer and songwriter who helped to guide the careers of many of today's hottest artists, including Christina Aguilera and Pink.
Selected by Revolver Magazine to be part of the 2012 "Hottest Chicks in Metal" Issue, Hunter Valentine's all female line-up proves that women can rock just as hard as men. Altsounds proclaimed that their 2012 album "is an anthology of gritty, edgy, power rock with dirty guitar and husky vocals, and is pure music sex."
The band's next venture is hitting the road for the 2014 Ladykillers Tour, showcasing songs from their highly anticipated fourth studio album. In true Ladykiller fashion, Hunter Valentine is simply unrelenting and unforgiving about releasing their musical prowess on the world of rock!
