With just days to go before the release of their debut CD World Wide Open on August 25th, Love And Theft’s Brian Bandas, Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles are preparing themselves for what will be a jam-packed album launch week.

The week kicks off with a full band performance at a radio station show in Atlanta Sunday night after which they’ll back to Nashville to rise early Monday morning for the first of four consecutive daily satellite radio tours. Not only will fans be able to tune into their local country radio stations to catch Love And Theft live on-air but they can also visit the station’s website and AOL’s “The Boot” for a live video stream of the radio tours as the interviews are taking place.

The remainder of the jam-packed week will include a visit to Sirius XM’s Music Row Happy Hour along with more satellite radio tours, radio station visits and concert appearances in Houston, TX (8/26); Dallas, TX (8/27); Phoenix, AZ (8/28); and Las Vegas (8/29).

In addition to their Friday (8/21) performance of their Top 20 hit single “Runaway” on NBC’s Today Show, Love And Theft can also be seen on CMT Insider and the network’s Top 20 countdown along with GAC’s Headline Country and On The Streets.

Love And Theft has also created an exclusive website for its first record. With a visit to www.worldwideopencd.com, fans can preview and pre-order the album, access free Love And Theft wallpaper and buddy icons, participate in a “Tweet Your Love” contest and register for a wake up call from the band.

“It feels like we’ve been waiting our whole lives for this moment and now it’s finally here, “ declares Love And Theft’s Stephen Barker Liles. “I can’t even begin to explain how excited we are for the release of our first CD. It’s gonna be a busy week but we are beyond READY!”
