Hyper Static Union announces tour dates

New band joins Building 429, An Evening of Compassion and Third Day for Spring and Summer 2006 shows

(Franklin, TN. 03/28/06) - New RKT Music signing Hyper Static Union recently announced a slate of 30+ concerts for Spring/Summer 2006. In April, HSU will join Building 429 and Tait for the Rise Tour, followed in April by an opening slot on An Evening of Compassion, featuring Bebo Norman, Caedmon’s Call and Geoff Moore. Throughout the summer, Hyper Static Union will be joining their friends Third Day, whose members signed the band to their own Consuming Fire Productions, on various festival appearances. Booked by Creative Artists Agency, HSU will also be performing a number of solo dates throughout the next few months.

HSU was discovered by members of Grammy-winning band Third Day, who brought the album to RKT to market and distribute. HSU’s debut, Lifegiver, is set for a May 9, 2006 street date. Hailing from the Northwest, Hyper Static Union formed in 1998, and its members have spent the past eight years honing their craft and creating a style of music that’s one of a kind. Band members Shawn Lewis (guitar/vocals), Ray Burnham (drums), Bryan Albrechtson (guitar) and Mike Jackson (bass) first met in high school, and the four indicate a variety of musical influences, everything from Seal to Sting to Sade to Steely Dan.

Hyper Static Union frontman Shawn Lewis said, “We feel inclined to produce music that requires people to ‘tune-in’ mentally and spiritually. We want the audience to consider certain things about their salvation, the state of the world, their hearts and their relationships.”
