The hardest-working, hottest young rock band in Southern California – ACIDIC – is at it again! They’re now storming the Midwest with Smile Empty Soul following their justconcluded third round this year with Hinder. The Smile Empty Soul tour will dominate the rest of 2013! All this follows a huge summer for ACIDIC, including a triumphant return to L.A. with a sold-out Viper Room show – that venue’s biggest Monday night all year! ACIDIC’s ambitious coast-to-coast tour schedule in support of their new CD and video release, “Copper Man,” also included a Main Stage performance at Sunset Sessions Rock 2013!, where they earned industry raves as a major new “buzz band.” “Copper Man,” is ACIDIC’s biggest, best, rockiest, rowdiest, and most criticallyacclaimed album yet. The “Copper Man” CD is produced by multi-platinum awardwinner John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Styx, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Badfinger, Allman Brothers). It earned them a distribution deal with SONY/RED via MegaForce Records. Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx has now named a second track off the “Copper Man” CD as his “Sixx Pick of the Week,” on his nationally-syndicated radio “Side Show” – first the title track, and now, the new hit “Drive Thru.” Meanwhile, the hilarious, jawdroppingly-insane “Copper Man” video is nearing 1,000,000 views on Youtube!
