Philadelphia psych-metal band Ruby The Hatchet has announced North American tour dates in support of its celebrated new album, Valley Of The Snake. The esoteric quintet, let by dynamic vocalist Jillian Taylor, will kick off the live run on September 9 in Atlanta, GA, joining the UK's Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats for a three week cross-country jaunt. Immediately following the team-up, Ruby The Hatchet will headline a slew of shows from October 4-13. 

"We are beyond excited to pack in the van and hit the road this fall! This will be our first full tour and we are overdue," comments Taylor. "Valley Of The Snake is the perfect album for us to start with, and we cannot wait to bring the energy of our live show to all the people across the US and Canada who have shown so much support over the years. Blood, sweat and good vibes. See you all very soon."
