NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS’ “S.O.B.” VIDEO PREMIERES AT TEAMCOCO
SELF-TITLED DEBUT DUE AUGUST 21 VIA STAX RECORDS
TOUR DATES CONFIRMED THROUGHOUT FALL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – JULY 15TH, 2015 - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ video for “S.O.B.” is premiering today at Conan O’Brien’s TeamCoCo.com, watch it here: http://teamcoco.com/content/nathaniel-rateliff-the-night-sweats-s-o-b-video-premiere Directed by Greg Barnes, the video’s concept was inspired by The Blues Brothers as Nathaniel and the band perform their raucous first single “S.O.B.” for their fellow inmates. The band’s self-titled debut is set for release via Stax Records on August 21st, 2015.
Produced by Richard Swift (The Shins, Foxygen, touring musician for The Black Keys) Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats retains the intensely personal and revealing lyrics Rateliff is known for, with The Night Sweats bringing a new soulful sound and intensity to these songs. Rateliff explains, “I try to be lighthearted because, although the songs are heavy, I want it to be a release for people. I mean things are hard. But I can remember dancing around to some song that was breakin’ my heart, dancin’ with tears in my eyes. I love that feeling, and I wanna share it with people, and hopefully they’ll feel it too.”
With its vintage soul and R&B DNA, it’s fitting that the album bears the iconic logo of legendary Memphis label Stax Records.
To celebrate the album release the band will tour extensively, making their festival debut at Newport Folk Festival on July 26th and then play shows across the U.S. including in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago among many others.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats is Rateliff (vocals, guitar), Joseph Pope III (guitar), Patrick Meese (drums) and Mark Shusterman (keyboard).
