8/30U.S. Tour Complete – “Culture Clash” Vinyl Coming Very Soon!

The Aristocrats “Culture Clash” U.S. tour is now in the books, and it was a rousing, blowout success, exceeding all expectations we ever could have hoped for. There is no way we could possibly express enough gratitude to all the people who came out to see us across the eastern and midwestern U.S. We played a ton of cities we’ve never been to before, and every single time, fans came out and made us feel welcome. THANK YOU everyone!

Aristocrats US Tour Band-Crew Shot - Lockhart TXIt was all done in two cars with just five people – three band, two crew – and we hardcore DIY’d it across America, with our two-man crew overcoming sleep deprivation and other obstacles to make it all work. Here’s a shot of the entire touring entourage below (L to R): Chris Del Nostro (driver/stage tech), Bryan Beller, Marco Minnemann, Guthrie Govan, and Corey Madson (driver/merch). It was taken in Lockhart, TX, outside one of the most famous BBQ joints in the country, Smitty’s Market.

Meanwhile, we’re very close to launching the presale for the limited edition double-vinyl version of Culture Clash. Watch this space for news on that, as well as a full 2014 touring schedule, coming very soon. For now, thank you America, once again!
