Tours: Year Long Disaster / Birds of Avalon (Europe)

Year Long Disaster and Birds of Avalon will be taking the Volcom tour to Europe this fall for a series of free shows.

Year Long Disaster are a Rock n' Roll power trio featuring Daniel Davies (son of Kinks guitarist
Dave Davies) on guitar and vocals, Rich Mullins (ex–Karma To Burn, Speedealer) on bass, and Brad Hargreaves (Third
Eye Blind) behind the drum kit. Recently completing their debut full–length album recorded in Tucson, AZ with Jim
Waters (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, R.L. Burnside), this self–titled effort was released in the U.S. on Oct. 9th
and is set for release in Europe in early 2008. Year Long Disaster is currently on tour in the US with
Turbonegro.

Birds Of Avalon features former The Cherry Valence members; the husband and wife team of Paul Siler
and Cheetie Kumar. After leaving The Cherry Valence, Siler and Kumar returned to Raleigh and got to work putting
together a new band, recruiting local area musicians, Craig Tilley (The Weather) on vocals, Scott Nurkin (Dynamite
Brothers) on drums, and David Mueller on bass, with Siler and Kumar rounding out the group as dueling axe
slingers. Birds of Avalon's debut release, Bazaar Bazaar, was produced by Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Wilco, Let's
Active) and Birds Of Avalon, and was released in the U.S. in May.
