ICARUS WITCH have issued the following update:

"Icarus Witch is launching a funtabulous new contest effective immediately!

Here is the cut of the jib: look at our tour routing, if you live near one of our gigs - or somewhere in between two gigs on a long drive - you could enjoy the opportunity to host the Icarus Witch after party in your very own home!

In exchange for hosting the band and letting us use your couch, bed, shower, toilet, air conditioning, pets, etc. - you get the privilege of being immortalized in the special thanks section of our next album's liner notes! I know you're thinking, 'Too good to be true.' But wait...there's more!

Just shoot us a message with your address and which show you will be at. If it checks out, we'll wrec...er, grace your homestead for an evening of stimulating conversation and morning coffee (coffee not provided, must be 18 to enter [that's what she said] see complete rules for details). Imagine the look on your parent or landlord's face when they see this crue kicking it on your porch!"

As previously reported, Icarus Witch have been confirmed to open for Y&T;'s upcoming July/August 2010 tour.

Long-time rock icons Y&T; will be touring in support of Facemelter, their first studio album in 13 years on Frontiers Records. Icarus Witch will continue promoting their recent release, Draw Down The Moon, this time with former DIRTY LOOKS guitarist/backing vocalist, Christopher Shaner as the new frontman and DI'ANNO guitarist, Ed Skero on 2nd lead guitar.

"It's a good thing we didn't unpack out bags from the Paul DiAnno tour yet because we just got word from Brian Perera at Cleopatra Records that Icarus Witch is confirmed to tour America once again", states Icarus Witch bassist Jason Myers. "This July and August we will be crisscrossing the country opening for one of our all-time favorite bands, Y&T;! Their classics like 'Mean Streak', 'Midnight In Tokyo', 'Forever', 'Don't Stop Runnin' and 'Summertime Girls' have always been the perfect soundtrack to summer partying. Now we'll get to hear them played at full volume in a different city every night after warming up the crowds. See you on the road!"

Icarus Witch's album, Draw Down The Moon, is now available for a limited time to stream in its entirety at this location.
