One band is from Germany, the other from the United States. The motivation was the mutual respect between Iris (Diffusion Records artist) and Metropolis Records act Seabound for each other and their love for strong electronic music packages. Now both join on a 14 date US tour package. "The Alliance Tour is a double headliner tour with a band that we share a lot of respect for. Fortunately there have been NO egos about billing, soundcheck times and everything else so far, and we are just excited about joining forces with Iris and returning to the United States" says Seabound Singer Frank Spinath. Seabound are being accompanied by live electronic drummer Daniel Wehmeier, whose performance "has brought our live shows to a new level".
Iris will bring Stromkern mastermind Ned Kirby as guitar playing backup for this tour, and are also thrilled at the prospect of this double bill. "We have always loved the music of Seabound and think their atmosphere will work very well to result in an unforgettable electronic music night. Each band will also bring a little fan surprise for their audiences with them on tour. Iris will sell the first copies of their DVD/EP Double release "Hydra" (featuring two new tracks) with them, and Seabound will exclusively sell their forthcoming live album "Come Forward – Live in Berlin" on this tour. Both records will not be officially released before April.
