Today Hurricane Bells premiered the new video for their song “Monsters” on AOL Music’s Spinner blog. The haunted Bill Moldt-directed video can now be seen here. “Monsters,” featured on the platinum-selling soundtrack of The Twilight Saga: New Moon, is a b-side of the band’s debut album Tonight Is The Ghost, which is available digitally now via Vagrant Records. A special edition physical release of the album will be announced shortly.
A few days after a February 11th in-studio performance on WRXP’s The Rock Show with Matt Pinfield and Leslie Fram, Hurricane Bells will headline a hometown show on February 17th at Union Hall in Brooklyn, NY, with fellow Brooklynites Falcon and Scout opening. The band is also set to perform at SXSW in March, followed by an April tour opening for Blue October as an acoustic duo of band architect Steve Schiltz and Ashen Keilyn (also of Scout).
Currently Hurricane Bells is across the globe finishing a two-week tour in India – sponsored by the Planetary Group, the American Center, and Rachel Tanzer – that began January 25th at the Saarang Festival in Chennai. The tour took the band through Chennai, New Delhi, and Hyderabad, and will conclude February 7th at the Kala Goda Festival in Mumbai. Photos and videos from the extraordinary trip can be seen on Hurricane Bells’ Facebook page.
