Rooney announces tour to support “Eureka”

Los Angeles pop-rock quintet Rooney are thrilled to announce a North American headlining tour in support of their new album EUREKA. Beginning June 16th in San Diego, CA, Rooney will hit the road with this brand new collection of songs, which will be released June 8th on California Dreaming Records (through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group.) Following the headlining run, Rooney will join Hanson for a month of dates. Tour dates below.

To get fans excited, Rooney is offering first track I DON’T WANNA LOSE YOU for free download at http://www.rooney-band.com/2010/04/08/download-i-dont-wanna-lose-you/

EUREKA is the follow-up to Rooney’s two critically acclaimed albums – ROONEY and CALLING THE WORLD – and sees the band showcasing their most inventive and original material to date. Produced and crafted entirely by the band, EUREKA not only succeeds with 12 impressive and infectious tracks, but spotlights the band’s gift to craft intelligent and stimulating rock songs that have continually captivated fans and critics with what Rolling Stone, Details, Entertainment Weekly, Alternative Press, Nylon, The New York Times and Spin Magazine hail as “real power-pop gems.”

Developed through years of non-stop touring with artists like Kings of Leon, Weezer, The Strokes, Travis, Polyphonic Spree and Granddaddy, and two highly praised records, Rooney’s irresistible songs has impacted modern rock & alternative radio stations and infiltrated video outlets such as MTV, VH1, Fuse and MTV2. Along the way, Rooney has built a fiercely loyal fan base and performed on THE OC, The Today Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
