The residency wraps on May 24th with a “family night” featuring other QOTSA-related acts such as Mini-Mansions, Alain Johannes and a “very special guest.” Ashes Divide, Slang Chickens, Earthlings? And Red Fang are among other acts playing alongside the band during the stint. Flavorpill remarked that the album is, “Heavy, seductive , fast, and a little sharp around the edges…” and that lead vocalist Serrina Sims is “already earning comparison to some of the hardest rocking leather-clad rocker chicks around (think Chrissy Hynde and Joan Jett in a Russ Meyer fight scene).” Sweethead’s latest video for the track “Traumatized and Dumb” can currently be seen on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/10934259 Sweethead on tour: May 17th Spaceland Silverlake, CA May 20th Hard Rock/Wasted Space Las Vegas, NV May 21st Alex’s Bar Long Beach, CA May 24th Spaceland Silverlake, CA May 25th Casbah San Diego, CA June 4th Rock Am Park Festival Germany June 5th White Trash Berlin June 6th Rock Am Ring Festival Germany June 7th Molotov Hamburg June 8th Helling Utrecht June 9th La Maroquinerie Paris June 10th 100 Club London June 11th Download Festival Donington Park
