In celebration of their highly anticipated new album, “Feedback“, Interscope recording artists Jurassic 5 will launch a massive nationwide tour beginning in Seattle shortly before the album’s July 25, 2006 release and concluding nearly three months later. The group will hit close to three-dozen cities. Highlights include two shows at the Filmore in San Francisco on July 22nd and 23rd, a show at Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, Texas on August 1st, an August 14th stop at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., a performance at the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver on September 9th, and shows at the House of Blues in Chicago (September 1st), Las Vegas (September 13th), and in the group’s hometown of Los Angeles (July 25th and 26th).
Feedback follows J-5’s critically acclaimed releases “Power in Numbers” and “Quality Control“. The albums first single is a soulful collaboration with the Dave Mathews Band titled, “Work It Out“. The song is the natural culmination of a close relationship the two group’s formed while touring together, and a fitting introduction to J-5’s new effort.
“It’s a step up for us because we have been basically known as an underground group. We’ve been known as a backpacker group. This album still has elements of that because that’s who we are, but at the same time we are also trying to step into another realm,” said Soup, one of the group’s four emcees.
DJ/Producer Nu-Mark handles the majority of the album’s production, including the standout tracks “Future Sound,“, “Red Hot“, and “Where We At,” which features a vocal bit from Mos Def. Other producers include Scott Storch (“Brown Girl“), Salaam Remi (“Radio“, “Get It Together“), aswell as Exile & Bean One.
He steps aside intermittently to allow inspired contributions from, among others, super producer Scott Storch (Brown Girl) and the mastermind behind many a Nas and Fugees hit, Salaam Remi (Radio and Get It Together). In addition, noteworthy up-and-comers Exile and Bean One both contribute powerful tracks.
