The hardest-working, hottest young rock band in Southern California - ACIDIC - is at it again! Their second tour with Trapt is just about history! The tour took them from the Gulf States through the Northeast. ACIDIC’s latest routing caps an ambitious coast-to-coast tour schedule in support of their new CD and video release, “Copper Man.” The band opened 2013 on the road with Trapt in January, and in June, the boys will rejoin the Oklahoma powerhouse Hinder for a follow-up to their first tour together earlier this year.
ACIDIC’s latest release, “Copper Man,” is their biggest, best, rockiest, rowdiest, and most critically-acclaimed album yet. The “Copper Man” album is produced by multi-platinum award-winner John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Styx, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Badfinger, Allman Brothers). It earned them a distribution deal with SONY/RED via MegaForce Records. Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx previewed the title track on his nationally-syndicated radio "Side Show" by naming "Copper Man" his "Sixx Pick of the Week"! The hilarious, jawdroppingly insane “Copper Man” video zoomed past 150,000 on Youtube following its release!
ACIDIC’s previous CD, “Chronic Satisfaction,” also produced by John Ryan, was released in Autumn 2011 to wild and enthusiastic response! The first single, "Uninspired," got airplay on FM and internet rock stations across the U.S. and Canada. “Chronic Satisfaction” helped inspire Music Reviews to name ACIDIC one of its “12 Bands to Watch in 2012.” ALTERNATIVE PRESS magazine (Dec. 2011, #281) says the new "Chronic Satisfaction" album "Rocks Like: Funeral Party, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant."PURE GRAIN AUDIO compared "Uninspired" to Nirvana's "Lithium" - "in the way Gossard performs the vocals and in the angst you can hear in his voice."
ACIDIC has also toured with such heavy hitters as Candlebox, Fuel, Alien Ant Farm, Hawthorne Heights, Filter, and Marcy Playground, and performed in Kosovo and Germany, rocking US troops with Armed Forces Entertainment. ACIDIC has been featured at such prestigious gigs as the 2012 Winter NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center; SXSW; Florida Music Festival; Sunset Strip Music Festival; and Bamboozle Left; and a packed headliner debut at Doug Weston’s Troubadour. ACIDIC won the Alternative category in the 18th Billboard WorldWide Song Contest for their power rocker “Strata Red.”
ACIDIC consists of lead singer/guitarist Michael Gossard, bassist Ted Dubrawski, and drummer Matt Whitaker. The band tours and records as a four-piece with guest guitarists.
