Press Release

NEW MADRID

opens for internationally renowned

NIKKA COSTA

TUESDAY, AUGUST 9 ▪ Mexicali Live, 9pm ▪ Teaneck, NJ

July 25, 2011—On August 9, dynamic Brooklyn-based trio New Madrid will take their charismatic and tantalizingly danceable blend of innovative South American rock to Mexicali Live in Teaneck, New Jersey as they open for Top 120 Billboard artist NIKKA COSTA.

TICKETS: $17 at TicketWeb.com

Two years in and rising fast, New Madrid is in the thick of a hot summer lineup. The Mexicali show hits just after amazing gigs at the Highline Ballroom, Knitting Factory, Spike Hill and Fontana’s, heralding the next phase of the band’s tri-state takeover.

In New Madrid’s sound, the influence of Andes and Caribbean rhythms lends the contemporary American and British Rock/Alternative genre a much-needed diversity. Boundary-pushing Spanish/English lyrics and explosive Latin beats fuse to create a truly unique sound and provide the soundtrack for rock, and bilingual rock, worldwide.

Based in Brooklyn, fully formed in 2009, New Madrid is a three-headed monster consisting of Axel Ito (lead vocals, drums), Anthony Formichella (bass), and Erik Barragan (guitar). New Madrid’s bilingual rock is the next and most needed step in rock evolution. Una fusion, un nuevo lenguaje, una nueva cancion unida; eso es New Madrid.

COMING UP:
Saturday, August 20@9pm Fontana's
Thursday, August 25@11pm The Fortune Cookie
Saturday, September 10@10pm Red Door Studios
Shows subject to change.
