DOWN Name ORANGE GOBLIN As Special Guest On North American Tour
September 18, 2014, 9 years ago
Commencing December 1st in San Antonio, Texas, Down will be joined by special guests Orange Goblin, as well as opening acts Bl'ast!, and King Parrot for a 15-date North American tour.
Dubbed the Punk Rock But Kinda Not Tour, this trek marks the Down's first proper headlining run in support of their new EP. Vocalist Phil Anselmo says, "Down are coming your way with some killer fucking bands - so come out to the fucking shows!"
With Orange Goblin's new album, Back From The Abyss, now less than three weeks away from release, vocalist Ben Ward comments, "I remember being a spotty 19 year old rushing out to the record store to buy the first Down album NOLA the very day it came out in 1994. Now, twenty years on, I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming that Orange Goblin are heading back to North America as main support to the mighty Down. It really is fairytale stuff for us. Down are one of the bands that are the reason Orange Goblin exists. To be given this opportunity to go out to promote our brand new album, Back From The Abyss, to the Down fans is just a dream come true. The rest of the band and I can't wait to get started. The fact that we also get to see Bl'ast and King Parrot every night just makes it all so hard to believe! Hail the Leaf! Hail the Riff! Hail Down!"
