Rooney announce a February headlining tour in continued support of their most recent release, Eureka. The tour, which will feature Eisley as main support and The Chapin Sisters and The Old Ceremony as openers, kicks off February 2 in Albuquerque, NM and wraps up in Salt Lake City on February 26. Fans can buy tickets at www.rooneytix.com and a special exclusive digital-only Christmas EP of three cover songs: “Merry Christmas (War is Over),” “Last Christmas” and “Little Saint Nick” will accompany each purchase.

Eureka is the follow-up to Rooney’s prior two critically acclaimed albums – Rooney and Calling The World – and showcases the band’s most inventive and original material to date. The self-produced album album spotlightsspotlights the band’s gift to craft intelligent, stimulating rock songs that continually captivated both fans and critics. Rolling Stone said of the album “On their self-released third album, Rooney mix West Coast catchiness with a sense of unrest” while The New York Times noted”Rooney plays perfectly tousled breezy, melodic pop-rock well suited to pool parties or convertible-cruising.”

The disc’s new single, “Not in My House,” impacts radio on February 8-just in time for the band’s tour. The group recently performed the single for LopezTonight.com, as well as Eureka’s first single, “I Can’t Get Enough.” Check out the videos of both performances HERE .
