Concrete Blonde will tour the US for the first time in 7 years with a set list celebrating the album and their career.

Released in 1990, Bloodletting spawned the top 20 hit "Joey," as well as Concrete Blonde classics "Tomorrow, Wendy", "Caroline", and "The Sky Is a Poisonous Garden". It quickly became their most successful album.

Lead singer Johnette Napolitano explains how the tour came about: "People started emailing me and calling me up and telling me that it was the twentieth anniversary of Bloodletting, which had 'Joey' on it and was a big hit for us all over the world. My dad passed away recently and was a big fan of the band and it occurred to me that a twentieth anniversary's only going to happen once and that my dad would have said that it's a good idea and that we should do it. So we knocked it together and it looks like it's going to be fun, doing twenty-year-old vampire songs should be fun."

Concrete Blonde formed in Los Angeles in 1982 and became one of the most beloved alternative bands in the US.
