4/27Next Up: Southeast Asia!

The epic 10-week European leg of the Culture Clash tour is now over, and we’re just stunned, amazed and grateful at the incredible turnout everywhere we went. From Spain to the U.K., from Norway to Italy, and from The Netherlands to Israel, it was a tour we’ll never forget. Here’s a shot from the last show, near Tel Aviv, Israel:

None of this would have been possible without our awesome Italian touring crew, mastermind Riccardo Cappelli (far left) and superhuman driver/tech Marco “Mr. Panda” Musco (center).

And because, why not, here’s a shot of The Aristocrats playing “Three Amigos” (even though the hats are Austrian, not Mexican):

We haven’t been to Southeast Asia since our very first tour, back in July of 2011, before our first record was even out! So this is long overdue, and we’re looking forward to seeing our fans in Korea and Japan again, and folks everywhere else for the very first time.

One note: We had originally planned to tour South America in May, and do a short U.S./Canada run later in the year, but events and the calendar have conspired to make that not possible this year. We’re sorry we can’t get there and hope we can put that together for some time in the future.

Some other news: We’re working on bass/drum transcriptions for the entire Culture Clash album, as well as making Boing, We’ll Do It Live! available for digital video download. Plus, we’re working on a week of dates in Europe in late August/early September. More on all that soon.
