FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

THE ENGINES FINALIZE DATES FOR
DECEMBER 2007 NORTH AMERCIAN TOUR

THE ENGINES, one of Chicago's strongest improvising bands, announces
a
13-date North American tour for December 2007, to coincide with the
release
of their self-titled debut on the Okkadisk imprint (www.okkadisk.com).

This collaborative band features four mainstays of the Chicago jazz
and
improvised music scene, with Jeb Bishop on trombone (Jeb Bishop Trio,
Brotzmann Tentet, School Days), Dave Rempis on saxophones (Rempis
Percussion
Quartet, Triage, Vandermark Five), Nate McBride on bass (FME,
Powerhouse
Sound, Pandelis Karayorgis Trio), and Tim Daisy on drums (Festival
Quartet,
Dragons 1976, Vandermark Five).

Tour dates are as follows:

We 12/5: Rochester Bop Shop Records
Th 12/6: Toronto Array Music Studios
Fr 12/7: Montreal Casa Del Popolo
Sa 12/8: Middlebury Middlebury College
Su 12/9: Burlington Firehouse Gallery
Mo 12/10: Brooklyn Union Hall
Tu 12/11: Philadelphia Philadelphia Art Alliance
Th 12/13: Chapel Hill Nightlights
Fr 12/14: Columbia University of South Carolina
Sa 12/15: Atlanta Eyedrum
Su 12/16: Lexington Mecca Dance Studios
We 12/19: Chicago The Hideout

The Engines started as a trio with a residency at Chicago's Empty
Bottle in
the summer of 2005. Bishop was added as a regular member after he
joined
them for one concert in May of 2006, since the dynamic of the group as
a
quartet worked so well. Since then, they've been working regularly
in
Chicago at many of the venues associated with creative music including
The
Hideout, Elastic, The Hungry Brain, and The Velvet Lounge.

All of these musicians have distinguished themselves as both leaders
and
sidemen, but formed this band as a collaborative meeting of minds and
talents. Each member contributes original compositions, producing a
wide
set of expressive possibilities ranging from high-energy jousting
over
driving bass vamps to quieter moments of melodic exploration. With
McBride
on both acoustic and electric bass, the band can explore some of the
sonic
textures associated with the early AACM, or launch into hard-hitting
Zeppelin-like grooves, and they use this range of possibilities to
its
fullest.
