Lineup: ACIDICThe hardest-working, hottest young rock band in Southern California - ACIDIC - is at it again! They’re capping off a triumphant Vans Warped Tour ’14 run with a long-awaited mid-summer homecoming at their L.A. favorite: the legendary Doug Weston’s Troubadour! Their set on the Hard Rock Kevin Says Stage of the 20th Anniversary Warped Tour won both raves and enthusiastic crowds, and confirms 2014 as ACIDIC’s biggest year yet!! Plus, this is ACIDIC’s first year touring nationally as headliners, earning such superlatives as “BEST Wednesday night in a year” (Herman’s Hideaway, Denver) and “BEST Monday night EVER” (Machinery Row, Great Falls MT). ACIDIC will soon go back into the studio to record their next album featuring new songs that have wow’ed ‘em on the road since they were first performed at WJJO-FM’s Acoustic New Year's Eve in 2013. The new album will be produced by multi-platinum award-winner John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Styx, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers), who helmed their most recent CD “Copper Man.” That album earned ACIDIC a distribution deal with SONY/RED via MegaForce Records, and top-100 rankings on the Mediabase Active Rock charts for months. Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx named both the title track and "Drive Thru" “Sixx Picks of the Week” on his syndicated radio "Side Show." The hilarious, jawdroppingly-insane “Copper Man” video blew past 1,000,000 views on Youtube! (http://www.youtube.com/theacidicband) Critical raves continue to pour in for ACIDIC on CD and onstage! BLUERAIL.com: “Frontman Michael Gossard is a force of nature, connecting to his audience and his band mates in ways that make an ACIDIC show highly electrifying.” DallasObserver.com even hailed Gossard as “gleefully demented”! RUKUS magazine: “These guys aren’t afraid to rock out. Gossard can really wail with his vocal at times and the band is full of energy.” PERFORMER magazine: “Straight from the get go, ACIDIC brings forth its frenetic energy and passionate sound in waves of indie alternative delight.
