The Chicago South Side's The Tossers Play Game One of the World Series!
New Album, The Valley of the Shadow of Death, In Stores Now



Chicago's South Side heroes and Irish Rock staples The Tossers are
providing the perfect stroke of luck for the Chicago White Sox as they
embark on their journey to become World Series champions. The Tossers
are providing the pre-game entertainment on Saturday, October 22nd from
4:15 to 7:15pm at Gate Three of U.S. Cellular Field. The Tossers'
raucous blend of traditional Irish instrumentation and furious Celtic
melodies guarantees a home run with White Sox fans, while dousing
Houstonites with a warm Chicago-style welcome. "I am honored to be a
part of this great day for my beloved White Sox," laughed singer Tony
Duggins.



The past few months have been a whirlwind of activity for The Tossers,
since signing to Chicago label Victory Records on St. Patrick's Day
2005. Their fifth album, The Valley of the Shadow of Death was released
to great critical acclaim on October 4th, 2005, and The Tossers are
currently on tour across the U.S. to promote the album. The Chicago
Tribune raved, "...the music itself continues to keep a facet of the
band's cultural heritage alive and kicking...the album also captures
moments of striking beauty and the feeling of crashing back to reality
after a night of boozy revelry."



The Tossers hail from the predominantly Irish Catholic neighborhood of
Beverly on Chicago's South Side. They formed over 12 years ago and began
making a name for themselves throughout the pubs and taverns of the
South Side. Eventually their name got out, and they began to open for
legends like Shane McGowan and Stiff Little Fingers. The Tossers' now
legendary live shows attract fans of all ages and from all walks of life
- drenched in Guinness and Jameson, the dancing crowd are always one
step from a riot. The Tossers are sure to hit one out of the park on
Saturday as they open this legendary World Series the only way it should
be - with true Chicago pride and class.



The Tossers perform pre-game at the World Series at Gate Three of U.S.
Cellular Field on October 22nd, 2005 from 4:15 to 7:15pm. The Valley of
the Shadow of Death is in stores now, and The Tossers are currently on
tour with Murphy's Law. www.thetossers.com <http://www.thetossers.com/>
