Lit will be on the road well into June during its headlining run in support of last year’s “Atomic.”
Released last October, “Atomic” features the top-20 hits “Lipstick & Bruises” and “Addicted.” Additionally, the album’s track “Happy in the Meantime” turns up on the May soundtrack for the Adam Sandler film “Mr. Deeds.”
“Atomic" is the follow-up to Lit’s RCA Records debut, 1999’s platinum-certified “A Place in the Sun.” That album houses a trio of hit singles: “My Own Worst Enemy,” “Zip Lock” and “Miserable.”
In a statement, guitarist Jeremy Popoff commented on how the group dealt with the pressure of recording a follow-up to its 1999 breakthrough album.
“We don’t know if there will ever be another ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ and we really aren’t focusing on that,” he said. “This record is better than the last record and as long as we continue improving, that’s what’s important. The minute we try to bottle some sort of formula, we’re dead.”
Lit, whose tour is hitting clubs and theaters throughout the U.S., also opens for Kid Rock on May 9 at Philadelphia’s First Union Center, May 10 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden and May 11 at Fairfax’s Patriot Center.
Additionally, Lit co-headlines with Live at the Orlando, Fla., House of Blues on May 26.
