O'Brother will be playing at Santos Party House in New York on September 12th. The band is set to embark on its first national headlining tour this year.

O'Brother has also announced the release of their sophomore studio album Disillusion, slated for August 20th, 2013 via Triple Crown Records. The band ventured out of their hometown of Atlanta, GA to the bitter cold of Long Island this past winter to hole up in the studio with engineer/producer Mike Sapone (Brand New, Public Enemy, Daytrader). The result is a heavier, refined follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed 2012 debut Garden Window.

After wrapping things in the studio, the band hit the road this spring with the legendary Alice In Chains for a stint of support dates and along the way, joined some of rock's biggest names at this year's Rock on the Range. The band is extremely excited to continue on the festival tip by making their first ever appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago this August just weeks before Disillusion is set to drop. They kicked off the Sunday line-up and shared the day with acts like Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, and The Cure.

O'Brother - Anton Dang (bass), Johnny Dang (guitar), Jordan McGhin (guitar), Tanner Merritt (vocals, guitar), and Michael Martens (drums) - released their first EP The Death of Day in 2009 with help from friend and fellow musician Andy Hull(Manchester Orchestra, Bad Books). Hull would team up with his bandmate Robert McDowell to produce their debut Garden Window, which earned the band the ears of critics and fans alike. "

From the band's inception, they have been strong believers in perfecting their craft by touring relentlessly; spending upwards of 200 days playing shows each year. In the past three years, they have been on countless national tours, sharing the stage with Manchester Orchestra, The Dear Hunter, Cage the Elephant, Alice In Chains,Thrice, Caspian, and Circa Survive along with a handful of headlining tours.

Disillusion marks the growth and resolve of a band coming into their own. Pre-orders will be available shortly and more post-Lollapalooza dates are listed below. Check out www.obrothermusic.net for the most up to date information.
