Record Release, Tours, and Ryan Hudon's Staring Problem

This is my first post in the Verse blog so everybody go easy on me. Our new album has been out for almost a week now and speaking for the band we are beyond psyched. What we're even more excited for is leaving for tour at the end of this week with our good friends in Have Heart. Ryan Hudon and I will be riding in separate vans because we hate one another (not really) and, as I mentioned in the title, he has a staring problem. On our awesome summer adventure we will be meeting up with even more friends in bands such as Wasteland and ON and Foundation. All of these bands shred and I know you're all looking forward to seeing them do what they do just as much as I am. Our tour kick-off and record release show is this Friday, the 20th in Providence, RI at the Living Room. Here is a nice looking flyer:


After that we will be at the following venues in the following cities on the following dates:

June 21 - Westcott in Syracuse, NY (shredding with friends/roommates in Soul Control)
June 22 - Inside Out Gallery in Traverse City, MI
June 23 - Now That's Class in Cleveland, OH
June 24 - High-Point Club in Kansas City, KS
June 25 - The Underground in Denver, CO
June 26 - Compound in Albuquerque, NM
June 27 - Che Cafe in San Diego, CA

June 29 - Balazo Gallery in San Francisco, CA (what's up John Eightclip!)
June 30 - The Studio in Reno, NV
July 2 - Satyricon in Portland, OR
July 3 - Midnight Sun in Olympia, WA (is there a place to get vegan biscuits & gravy in Olympia or am I dreaming?)
July 4 - The Space in Vancouver, BC (Circles, you know I love you)
July 5 - Seattle Legion Hall in.. yes, Seattle, WA
July 6 - House Show in Boise, ID
July 8 - Rejavanate Coffee Lounge in Las Vegas, NV

Then we'll be home for a few weeks to hang out and relax and start new bands with funny names and in mid-August we head to Europe for a few weeks with Have Heart and Shipwreck. I'll be back to post those dates as soon as I have them.
