MIDDLE CLASS RUT Announce Headlining Fall Tour Dates!
With Lite Brite and Ume

[MiddleClassRut_general4_Steve Gullick]
Sacramento-based rock duo, Middle Class Rut, have announced the dates of their fall headlining tour! Fresh off the heels of a month long run with the Vans Warped Tour, MC Rut will be joined by Lite Brite and Ume as they make their way across the country.  They will be hitting Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Tucson and bouncing around Texas along their routing wrapping their tour at the famed Emo's in Austin, so be sure to mark your calendars - full list of dates is below! Before kicking off their headlining run, you can catch Middle Class Rut at such festivals as the Buzz Beach Ball and Sonic Boom 2011 on August 19 and September 4, respectively, as well as at Pointfest on September 10. With a busy fall season ahead of them, MC Rut will also be playing as part of the heavy-hitting lineup at KROQ's Epicenter 2011 on September 24.

Middle Class Rut are touring in support of their debut album, No Name No Color, which spawned the smash radio hit "New Low" reaching No. 5 at Alternative Radio. Having being named "2011 Artist to Watch" by MTV and scoring a coveted spot in USA Today's "On the Verge" feature<http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2011-03-19-otv-middleclassrut_N.htm>, Middle Class Rut are one of the most promising acts of the year. They recently wrapped up a European arena tour with Linkin Park and just completed their month long trek with the Vans Warped Tour.

MC Rut has been eagerly embraced by rock fans and the press for their stunning debut, which artfully blurs the line between heavy and melodic with raw, energized rock and roll.  This band is no overnight sensation. The duo, Zack Lopez (vocals, guitar) and Sean Stockham (drums), have been playing together since they were teenagers. The pair records every song they write together almost immediately upon coming up with the idea in their rehearsal space, capturing the instantaneous spirit of a track while still in the moment. They've toured with a range of artists, including Linkin Park, Social Distortion, Alice in Chains, Them Crooked Vultures, The Bronx and ...Trail Of Dead and their track "Lifelong Dayshift" is featured on the exclusive GameStop release of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack.
