Switchfoot 'Fading West' Movie Releases Tomorrow and Performing on Jay Leno's Tonight Show

Switchfoot will be releasing their debut feature film, Fading West, tomorrow, Dec. 10 via video streaming platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Xbox Video, Sony Playstation, Cinemanow, and Vudu with digital entertainment curator FilmBuff.

Fans can also request special screenings of the film in markets around the country in partnership with Gathr.

The band will be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Dec. 10 to perform "Who We Are," a single from their forthcoming ninth studio album also titled Fading West, set to be released Jan. 14.

"Fading West" follows Switchfoot as they travel the globe in search of new musical inspiration and perfect waves. The film was shot during their 2012 World Tour and as they were beginning to create the new album.

"Part rock documentary, part surf film and part travelogue, Fading West offers rare glimpses of the longtime surfers on their boards and in the waves, captures the frenetic energy of their live shows and, in the end, portrays a journey both epic and intimate," states their press release.

Switchfoot went on a 52-date tour around the country this fall and opened the shows with the movie playing. These concerts included sold out shows in Los Angeles, New York (two nights), Seattle, San Diego, Denver, Portland, Phoenix, St. Louis and Atlanta.
