Guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants checks in with the following update: "The tour with Mastodon was a killer experience, as the lineup was really strong and everyone had a great time together. Mastodon and their crew are fucking awesome people, and seeing them every night was a real pleasure. We enjoyed playing some of the new material off of Static Tensions, and we look forward to playing more of the record in the upcoming months. Now we're meeting up with Coheed and Cambria for a
few shows which we're very stoked to be a part of, and we're also headlining a few shows. Thanks to everyone for your support!"
