An Evening with Particle

Particle unveiled its new five-piece outfit on February 24 at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.  The band now boasts Scott Metzger and Ben Combe on guitar and vocals, in addition to original members Eric Gould (bass), Steve Molitz (keys) and Darren Pujalet (drums).  The group plans to unleash more new material throughout its forty city cross-country Spring tour, which begins with an appearance at South by Southwest in mid-March.

Particle has been featured on CNN and in Rolling Stone.  Their debut album Launchpad was named one of 2004’s Top Ten albums of the year by the Associated Press and they have appeared at Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Austin City Limits Music Festival.  They have played over 700 shows in 8 countries since their inception in October of 2000.

Particle’s new dynamic allows the act to stretch in many different directions that had previously been off limits.  The addition of guitar and vocal harmonies as well as the restructuring of their material and the magical journey to discovering this new incarnation of the band makes Particle a force to reckon with this Spring.
