Jack Flowers and the Petal Tones Hit The Road For The First Time

Jack Flowers and the Petal Tones are on the road. If you missed them last Saturday in their Montclair hometown at the Serendipity Café, this “vibrant addictive electrifying” band with its “euphoric stage presence and transcendent cyber-fueled melodies” will bring their brand of alt-punk to Brooklyn July 3 at The Sultan Room; Greensboro North Carolina July 4 at the Above Board Skate Park; Washington DC July 5 at Union Stage; Newark July 24 at QXTs; Richmond Virginia July 25 at Bandito’s Burrito Lounge; and Philly July 26 at Little Big Planet.

“I’ve wanted to go on tour with a band since I was a kid,” Flowers told us, “and I’m so excited to finally be doing it. Girl Clothes is exactly the album that I want to be doing it with. Before I came out, I didn’t even think it was possible to be a trans musician because I didn’t know any. There was legitimately a time in my life where I thought I had to choose between coming out and being a professional musician. I hope I can be the representation that I didn’t have that young trans people need now more than ever.”

Songs like “Body,” “She’s In My Head,” “The Internet,” “Slur” and “Starve” should get bodies moving and minds thinking as frontwoman Jack Flowers shakes her moneymaker while lead guitarist Kyle Steven-Sanders, drummer Tim Nuzzetti, bassist Matheus Bueno, rhythm guitarist Bella Miller and Emma Rogers on synthesizer sizzle behind her. (Their fans are called “Petal Heads.”)
