Death to Dubstep - Loners Society hit the road with their Summer Tour

It's been a busy year for Charleston's boutique record label and music collective, King City Records. 

With their artists receiving heavy rotation on local radio, recording video shoots, having nightly performances around town, and making appearances at events such as the recent 7th Annual First Flush Festival and the upcoming Summer SOULstice Celebration - not to mention the first ever "Storytellers"-style King City Records Sessions last month - label manager and resident musician Matt Megrue has done one hell of a job spreading the King City word. 

And it has now been officially announced that KCR band Loners Society will embark on an 11-date tour across the Southeast, the Death to Dubstep 2013 Summer Tour, and will be kicking things off right here in Charleston with a July show at The Mill, in Park Circle. 

"This tour is all about being on the road and playing those sweaty, intimate, 4-piece rock n roll shows," Megrue says. "We wanted the opportunity to try out some new material before we hit the studio and we're so excited to be visiting some places and towns we haven't played before along with some old, familiar haunts."

In addition to trying out new material, the Death to Dubstep tour will also feature the debut of the band's new drummer, Josh Beasley. The previous drummer and longtime friend of Megrue, Brian McMickle, parted ways with the band earlier this year in a very un-rock n roll manner - meaning it was a peaceful, supportive and heartfelt decision: McMickle wants to spend more time with his infant son and family.

"To say that we (Loners Society) are simply losing a drummer would be an enormous disservice to Brian and everything he has meant to me (personally and creatively) over the last twelve-plus years," Megrue says.
