White Denim
In 2005, the trio Parque Touch (also know as Josh Block, James Petralli and Lucas Anderson) were transformed in to a foursome with the addition of the bassist Steve Terebecki, formerly known as solo artist Peach Train. About a year later, Parque Touch had to wave goodbye to Lucas who abandoned them to live in Russia and thus four became three yet again - but now under the name of White Denim.
Workout Holiday was White Denim’s nine song EP, recorded and self-released during their 2007 tour. Having caught the ear of the fellows at RCRD LBL, White Denim signed to re-record a few songs from this EP which the label released individually over the first few months of this year.
In a daring attempt to be heard by European ears, White Denim then signed to British label Full Time Hobby with whom they have since released the Workout Holiday LP, a record of re-recorded versions of songs from their previously self-released EPs.
The trio also are due to independently release another 7” under the name of ‘Explosion’, their first to be released in the U.S which, similarly to their first EP, is only to be available on vinyl and in digital format.
