Rising stars of the Atlanta scene, the band - which is fronted by charismatic vocalist Elijah Jones - is set for a breakout year in 2010.
Southern Gothic was produced by Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley), and features guest appearances by fellow Atlantans Cee-Lo, Asher Roth, and members of The Whigs.
The band is currently in the middle of a 17-date UK tour with Philly-based, electro-inspired hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang, and will continue to tour extensively throughout the year, including debut appearances at the major summer festivals, including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Mile High, Bumbershoot, Summerfest, Wakarusa, Nateva and Ottawa Blues Festival. See full dates below.
The Constellations have been named one of PASTE magazine's "Best of What's Next," iheartradio's "Artists To Watch," and will be the subject of a "Breaking Out" feature in the June issue of SPIN magazine.
The band's uncensored video for "Perfect Day" was premiered last week on Playboy.com.
