Alberta Cross - Broken Side of Time (Live - De La Semaine 16-10-09)

Описание: Alberta Cross are a New York-based band, formed by Petter Ericson Stakee (vocals, guitar) & Terry Wolfers (bass). Despite their different upbringings - Petter travelled from an early age between Sweden and England with his singer-songwriter father whilst Terry was brought up in London's East End - they share a mutual love of music.
They were joined by Petter's brother John Alexander Ericson on organ to record their self-produced 2007 debut "The Thief & The Heartbreaker." The band's sound has been compared to Kings of Leon, The Band, Neil Young, The Raconteurs and other blues-influenced rock bands.
The band has toured extensively in the UK, performing with bands like The Shins, Bat for Lashes, Simian Mobile Disco and played the Latitude tour with Findlay Brown in summer 2007. During October 2008 Alberta Cross supported Oasis on its UK arena tour; playing at both Bournemouth and Cardiff. The band appeared at the Coachella Valley Music Festival on April 17th, 2009. They were the support for Dave Matthews Band at the O2 Academy in London in June 2009 and for DMB's full European Tour in February-March 2010. Alberta Cross performed at the 2009 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, TN, held in June, and they played at the 2009 Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, IL, on August 9th, 2009.
On May 11th, 2010, the band opened for Them Crooked Vultures in Quebec City, Quebec, in Montreal, Quebec on May 12th, in Ottawa, Ontario, in Windsor, Ontario on May 16, 2010, and in Chicago, Illinois on May 18th, 2010.
The band's first full-length album Broken Side of Time was released September 22, 2009.[1]
The band embarked on its first headlining tour in the United States in early 2010, selling out shows in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Francisco. The Santa Barbara venue oversold the show, so when police arrived and forced 50 patrons to leave, the band offered to play two sets so that everyone who came to see them could.
