Prosthetic Records reports:
Chicago's YAKUZA has confirmed more dates on their upcoming tour down to South By Southwest, featuring a showcase alongside SERJ TANKIAN, and up the West Coast into Canada, culminating in a hometown show in April supporting DISFEAR.
Additionally, the band has posted the track 'Congestive Art Failure', which joins the previously posted new tracks 'Egocide' and 'Praying For Asteroids' on their MySpace page.
Yakuza continues to support Transmutations, which saw a summer 2007 release through Prosthetic. The follow-up to Samsara, Transmutations was recorded with producer and multi-instrumentalist Sanford Parker in Chicago and has spawned a video for the track 'Black Market Liver' which was directed by Sara Jean and is available below...
