Atmosphere is going to “paint the nation”
Atmosphere already did some creative artwork with the release of their new album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, back in April. But the Minneapolis based duo of Slug and Ant are now ready to take their sound and styles to a number of North American cities for a more personal touch.
Atmosphere are ready to “Paint The Nation” and will do so by playing over 50 shows across the US this Fall in support of their new album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. The trek kicks off September 10th in Fargo, ND and includes festival dates including Monolith in Denver, Street Scene in San Diego, Edge Fest in Phoenix and KFMA Fall Ball in Tucson. The full lineup of the “Paint The Nation” Tour is Atmosphere featuring special guests Abstract Rude, Blueprint and DJ Rare Groove. The first leg of the tour is below and the second leg will be announced next week.

These guys are outstanding. Their lyrics are poignant and speak from the soul, their very musical presence is poetic.
“Puppets” was the track that introduced me, and I am now a die-hard fan.
