Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs Announce New Album ‘External Combustion’ & Share Single
Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs return in March with ‘External Combustion,’ their sophomore studio album, which features lead single “Wicked Mind.”
Mike Campbell is joined in the band by guitarist Jason Sinay, bassist Lance Morrison and drummer Matt Laug. The quartet will embark on an extensive tour this spring that marks the first Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs nationwide headlining run. Set to begin in Tampa on March 9, the trek continues through May 1 and includes stops in Gainesville (Florida), Nashville, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Derry (New Hampshire), Ridgefield (Connecticut), Alexandria (Virginia), Indianapolis, Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boulder, Colorado, Dallas, Houston and Austin.
“‘Electric Gypsy’ is one of my favorite songs on the new record,” Campbell proclaimed. “The song came to me in a moment of inspiration before a session with the band—and we recorded it that day in one take, guitar solo and all.” Mike Campbell tapped George Mays (My Morning Jacket, Brittany Howard, Chicano Batman) to direct the video for the track. External Combustion was previously previewed with “Wicked Mind.”
