Hello all! Yes, it’s true – we are heading back out onto the open road next week! The Swaggerin’ Growlers are gearing up for our Everything Breaks So Break Everything tour, which will take us from Boston all the way down to Florida, across to Texas, and back up through parts of the Midwest. It’s our most ambitious tour outing since Bad Decisions in 2009, and things are coming together nicely!
We have a ton of confirmed dates already, with a couple others just pending a detail or two. Below please find our list of confirmed dates. More will be added to this list as soon as we have them nailed down. I will likely also post a list of dates we could use a little help with.
In the past couple of months, we have been hit hard by several things – bail money, a van accident (luckily, everyone was ok – no injuries), rampant drunkenism (that’s not going to change) but we’ve also had some of the best times yet. We’ve been travelling, we’ve had the chance to play with great bands and to get into the NYC squat venue circuit. It’s only getting better, so be a part of it! We want to see you guys and gals at the shows – that’s the whole reason we do this. We want to dance with you!
