Scorpion Child Announce Headlining North American Tour with Crobot
Boozy Texan rockers Scorpion Child are getting ready to follow their recent European tour with a run across the eastern half of North America that’ll go from the end of May into June, hitting major markets along the way with company from Crobot. Both bands have in common that they’ve opened for Clutch, so at least you know they’ve been to school, and Scorpion Child also took part in that monstrous five-band bill last year with Kadavar, Mothership, Gypsyhawk and Wilson. For Scorpion Child, who’ve hardly let their livers recover since making their self-titled debut on Nuclear Blast last year, this next stint will begin at the Rocklahoma festival on May 24, from which they’ll swing back south into Texas before looping up the East Coast.
It’s a considerable undertaking from the road-dog-in-the-making four-piece, and the PR wire has the details below:

Ready to blaze back into North America with appearances at this year’s Rocklahoma & River City Rock festivals after their all-out assault through Europe, kick-ass hard rockers SCORPION CHILD from Austin, Texas will launch a headlining tour this spring with Pennsylvania’s space rockers CROBOT supporting.

Described by Aryn Jonathan Black as “a sonic landscape of a 24-hour period” and joining the elite ranks of rock’s present day flag bearers such as Graveyard, The Sword, Wolfmother, and Rival Sons, SCORPION CHILD‘s self-titled debut album was produced and arranged by Chris “Frenchie” Smith (The Answer, Jet, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead) using analog technology.
Scorpion Child debuted at #26 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart & at #99 on the Hard Music Album chart the week following its June 2013 release. Shortly after the announcement that the band would headline Rockstar Mayhem’s Sumerian Stage last summer, their single “Polygon Of Eyes” was selected as the iTunes “Single of the Week.”
SCORPION CHILD has toured with CLUTCH and KADAVAR, showcased multiple years at the SXSW Music Festival, and performed on the Shiprocked Cruise in January. This will be their second appearance at Rocklahoma.
Scorpion Child can be purchased from the Nuclear Blast USA Webshop. Buy the album digitally on iTunes and receive two bonus tracks: http://bit.ly/scorpchild-st-itunes.
