Love Me Like You Hate Me by Alex Radus

After the dissolution of Duende, Radus returned to academia, but kept one foot in the music world, beginning to piece together a strong solo repertoire. Although musicianship and songwriting are integral to Radus’ approach, it is his voice which consistently leaves audiences breathless and coming back for more.

Although Radus performs with a full ensemble in and around Philadelphia, he is currently traveling solo for his CD Release tour. On 7.7.7, Radus released LoveMeLikeYouHateMe to a packed room at Piano’s in NYC. The remainder of the tour will see Radus perform before audiences in Providence, Boston, Newmarket, Burlington, Portsmouth, Portland, Boulder, Denver, Phoenix and more. In early September, Radus will return home to conclude his tour with his Philadelphia CD Release Party, scheduled for 9.9.7 at The Tin Angel.

With one year to go on his dual Philosophy and Political Science degrees, Radus still keeps a busy performance schedule, and is already planning a full-band southern tour for January, complete with stops in Charlottesville, Charlotte, Durham, Asheville, and Nashville. With the help of Boulder-based Only the Best Booking, Radus is expecting to spend a large portion of next summer on the road, performing at clubs and festivals in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Oregon and California.

Radus is currently in search of a label, east-coast and European booking agency, and management to help make his budding solo career a success. LoveMeLikeYouHateMe is a strong debut showing, but the songwriter has a much larger bag of tricks and is anticipating an equally mature and accessible sophomore showing.
