This past Tuesday morning, Shilpa Ray woke up to some pretty amazing news. Grinderman, currently in the midst of their North American Tour, were in need of an opener for their show that night in Washington, DC, and they were personally requesting she be there to play the date. Without hesitation she jumped out the door, harmonium in hand, and was on her way south to the 9:30 club.

Once praised by Nick Cave as a "Band of The Day" in the Canadian paper the National Post Shilpa Ray was honoured to help warm up the audience that night. She will join Grinderman on their next few dates in Atlanta, Memphis, and Nashville as well.

Tour Dates:

11/18 - Atlanta, GA - Variety Playhouse
11/19 - Nashville, TN - Cannery Ballroom
11/20 - Memphis, TN - Minglewood Hall

Grinderman fans interested in hearing tracks from Shilpa Ray And Her Happy Hookers upcoming album 'Teenage and Torture' (January 18th 2011) may help themselves to a sampling of "Heaven In Stereo" HERE and "Venus Shaver" HERE.

Following the release of their album January 18th 2011, and a CD Release party at Brooklyn Bowl January 21st with Hooray For Earth and Soft Black, Shilpa Ray And Her Happy Hookers will embark upon a National Tour with Japanese psychedelic group Acid Mothers Temple.
