MOONSHINE BANDITS will bring their genre-defying signature sound which melds backwoods bravado, country soul, keg-thumping beats, and hip-hop fusion to audiences across the U.S. this summer on a headlining tour following the July 14 release of their anticipated album POUR DECISIONS via oneRPM. The tour will start on Saturday, June 3 and stretch throughout the summer including three performances at the famed Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, SD. During the run, MOONSHINE BANDITS will be supported by Good Ol’ Boyz, Dusty Leigh, Brandon Hart, and Who TF Is Justin Time? on various dates. Tickets will go on sale Thursday, May 25 at 10:00 A.M. PT at https://moonshinebandits.com/. See below for the full tour dates.

“There’s a reason why we selected Dusty, Good Ol’ Boyz, and Justin to be a part of this tour,” says MOONSHINE BANDITS front men Dusty ‘Big Tex’ Dahlgren and Brett “Bird” Brooks. “We wanted this run to be wild and crazy. We wanted it to be a big party so everyone that attends can leave their job and not worry about any day-to-day stress. There’s definitely going to be some ‘Pour Decisions’ made and we can’t wait to make them over and over again each night with you all!”

MOONSHINE BANDITS have paved the way for the budding country/rap genre amassing a dedicated legion of fans who call themselves the “Shiner Nation” with their grassroots touring and rebellious, outlaw values. The California-based duo recently shared the second single from POUR DECISIONS: “I’m A Problem” which features Juno Award-winning Canadian rapper MADCHILD. Watch the music video HERE. The album’s anthemic, chant-inducing debut single “I’m A Rebel” was released on March 15; stream it HERE.

POUR DECISIONS features 15-tracks that continue to show MOONSHINE BANDITS paving their own lane. The album takes its inspiration from the struggles and successes of America’s extraordinary era when dreams were being made while hunting for that elusive precious gem. Just like the rumrunners, bootleggers, smugglers, and outlaws of old, the MOONSHINE BANDITS provide a supply of goods for the demand, defying the mandates and trends of mainstream pop-culture. Playing off its title, the duo have also partnered with California Cowboy Whiskey to release Bucked Up Whiskey.

ABOUT MOONSHINE BANDITS:

Since their formation in Los Banos California in 2003, MOONSHINE BANDITS’ blue-collar work ethic and unwavering persistence has seen the band defy the mandates and trends of mainstream pop culture. The duo have crisscrossed the country performing hundreds of shows a year, ventured into branding their own beef jerky and moonshine, collaborated with some of the music business’s most prolific artists, outshined in the face of record industry roadblocks, earned a fiercely loyal fan following, and embrace the unconventional.

Long before people figured out country and rap had a lot in common, Moonshine Bandits were gaining critical acclaim from outlets including Rolling Stone, MTV, AOL, THE BOOT, YAHOO and their 2011 hit single “My Kind Of Country” peaked at #1 on CMT Music. The band continued to break barriers with their 2015 album BLACKED OUT which simultaneously landed on Billboard’s Top 10 Rap Albums (#10) and Top 15 Country Albums (#13). Moonshine Bandits average 2.3 million monthly streams across all platforms and to date have garnered over 260 million video views.

MOONSHINE BANDITS’ genre-defying signature sound of backwoods bravado, country soul, keg-thumping beats, and hip-hop fusion has paved the way for the budding country/rap genre. The California-based duo–Brett “Bird” Brooks and Dusty ‘Big Tex’ Dahlgren —have amassed a dedicated legion of fans, the “Shiner Nation,” from their relentless touring across the U.S. while averaging 2.3 million monthly streams across all platforms and over 260 million video views. The duo are next ready to deliver the grittiest, most spirited and distinctly grassroots release of their 16-year career with the new album POUR DECISIONS due July 14 via oneRPM. On Friday, April 28, MOONSHINE BANDITS have released its second single “I’m A Problem” featuring Juno Award-winning Canadian rapper MADCHILD across digital platforms. Stream/download it HERE. Watch the full-throttle music video streaming below or HERE.

“‘I’m A Problem’ is basically a song to let the listener know who we are and what it took to get there,” shares Big Tex. “Neither Madchild or us were overnight success stories—in fact, we were underdogs more than anything.  We grinded for years to earn the level of success that we are now enjoying with both our loyal fan bases.  Aside from the music, we both have branded ourselves well and our careers are still on the incline.  This song touches on all that and then some.  It’s an unapologetic in-your-face-type song.”

Bird chimes in: “We always wanted to work with Madchild because we respected his talent, and he also runs with the same crews we do. We have a lot of fans in Canada and with Madchild being on a song with us, it’s only going to expand our reach over there. We thought his style fit the song perfectly and he killed it.  We are really hoping this song leads to a tour in Canada with him or in the US.”
