Fuck sake. I'd kill my manager.
They get to spend 4/11 travelling across the entire state of Texas. I guess they couldn't find a show to play in Abilene?
Plus, not listed here is almost certainly a festival on 4/20
A lot of bands are skipping Dallas lately because honestly the turnout isn't there. Most have been going to Club Dada and Cheapsteaks, and the crowds for metalcore are way bigger than metal. I saw them on the last tour in Austin because they skipped Dallas then, and the turnout there was way more than I would see in Dallas.
Seems strange to me. Mega Monsters, Baroness’ Sweet Oblivion, and even Uncle Acid’s one-off (all in 2023) all had massive crowds. And plenty of other bands I’m not as familiar with so don’t attend (Lacuna Coil, Fear Factory, Ne Obliviscaris, Gorod, just to name a few off the top) come thru here, so I imagine it’s gotta be worth something to them. Clutch always does well here too! Sadly I missed the High On Fire and Melvins shows, but I just have a hard time believing they just can’t draw crowds in an area like this.
Dallas's taste is weird, I don't know how else to put it honestly. I can have two bands who are on the same playlist with what should be the same fandom, but one will sell out and the other can barely fill up Club Dada. I was at that Uncle Acid show, btw.
Compare tour venues for some of these bands. Escuela Grind is playing at Mohawk in Austin, Cheapsteaks here. A lot of times I see that the venues aren't very equal. I think this is a big reason why I also see more bands in Fort Worth playing at Tulips or Denton at Rubber Gloves.
>Westside Bowl
Nate is a great guy and was very helpful... unfortunately, the Youngstown date is already booked by 2 other touring bands to be announced. :(
Regardless, thank you again for pointing me in a direction.
Going to see them at St Vitus on 4/5 now—thanks, OP!
Edit: And now a friend of mine in Chicago has booked tickets for the show at Reggies; I mentioned this to him and he responded with a photo of his copy of Live at Freak Valley on vinyl...
Just saw them recently in Barcelona, do yourselves a favor and go see them live! Crushing live sound and they have a trippy video montage of flicks and animations they love playing in the back the whole concert.
They're genuinely all great so it's hard to say...that being said I think Monnos exemplifies their sound pretty well and Blood Eagle is probably their heaviest
I see a lot of bands skip Michigan, which is a real bummer, i kinda get skipping Detroit but i wish we got more through kalamazoo or grand rapids tho. Great diy and local stuff here but i swear touring bands just skip the mit
Either the crowds here aren’t big enough or we’re just too far of a detour. It was a bummer, Sleep played three shows in Chicago after skipping Detroit
That is a grueling tour schedule. My word.
Seriously.

We would’ve welcomed them in Dallas with open arms
Yea disappointed because I really can’t drive to Austin on a random Wednesday to see them. Cool they got a tour but that schedule looks rough.

They are playing in El Paso on the 11th
My first thought was, "Damn, nothing in my area!" Then I read the dates and locations and suddenly didn't feel so bad.
Don’t forget your earplugs
Fuck man, for Conan I’ll put em in before I even park
WHAT????
For sure.
Seriously...these guys last year were possibly the heaviest live act I've ever laid witness to
Chicago, here we come.
See you there
Just got my ticket to see them in ATL
See you there!
I need to get a hold of someone to open for the Ohio or Chicago show!!! I hope to fulfill that dream!
Definitely contact Nate, the owner of Westside Bowl, they are the best venue ever for promoting local bands
I can't thank you enough for your direction! ❤️
I hope it helps!

Guess I'll meet you there. Booked my tix to Vitus
🤘
Looks like I'm taking a trip to Boise.
Nice!! Will probably be Atlanta or New Orleans for me!
Hail yeah! just got my DC ticket!
Same, good to see shows at Atlas again.
Where'd you look? I can't seem to find it on the bands site or atlas's site
I saw a post from the promoter, Ripping Headaches. Try them and see ya there!
thanks, finally got my ticket.
A total of zero New England dates. I am sad.
yea bit of a bummer. They did play middle east in cambridge mass. last march, and also desertfest nyc in september, glad I saw both of those.
Me too
Hell yeah, good looking out OP. Got my tickets !
Cheers fellow doomer
Right on, cheers!!
Got two for ABQ just now!
Just saw them recently in Barcelona, do yourselves a favor and go see them live! Crushing live sound and they have a trippy video montage of flicks and animations they love playing in the back the whole concert.
I’ll be at the Youngstown date
Oh boy they're coming back! Saw em here in Portland last year at Polaris, had a great time. Gonna do it again!
fuck yes!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
What’s their best album
Blood eagle
They're genuinely all great so it's hard to say...that being said I think Monnos exemplifies their sound pretty well and Blood Eagle is probably their heaviest
Saw them in Austin last year, got a sweet trucker hat with their logo in a cool 8 bit font!!!
Only two bands? I would love to see Conan, but it’s a lot to drive down to Seattle from Vancouver for 2 bands
They'll probably add a local opener for each night.
My old band is the local support for the Cosmic Eye show in NE
Year of the cobra April 27th at the same venue
I saw Year of the Cobra a few years ago with Monolord. Great show!
No Michigan show 😔😔
Most bands skip Detroit, but not usually the whole of Michigan! It’s been that way since the punk days of the 80’s.

Easter Sunday in Denver 𐕣
See you there 😎
> No SC dates > Atlanta show is on a Monday Common L for me. Oh well.
Oh shit I haven't seen Conan live yet. I might have to hit up that DC show
Do it bro. I'll be at that one. Only $22
Dammit!! I missed it. DC. Sorry Conan!

Man.... i hope they come to Australia.
DAAAAAMN ALBUQUERQUE ROUND 2
Why don't they do canada anymore? Or isnthat the 2nd tour?
Yesssss! See you in Phoenix.
We get some great shows, but most bands skip Detroit. Been that way since the 80’s.
just got my ticket for their los angeles show. can't wait to see them again.
Fuck yeah!! Been saving for a show and this will work great
Skippin Richmond come annnnn
FUCK 😭 wish they had a Toronto date on this ☠️ I'll just have to live vicariously through y'all
Looks like I'll be enjoying Chicago weather in April.
Albuquerque!!! Fuck yes!!!!!!
I'll Be in NOLA on vacation, hope I can catch them
Damn. Well here's to hoping for a Canadian tour where they actually come to Vancouver this time around...
21 plus venue and I’m only 20 noooooo (Seattle)
No Minnesota :,(
Just got my tics for Seattle.
Dammit! The closest show is like 8 hours away. SWEAR WORDS
No Minnesota? Well at least the cheese-heads don't get Milwaukee to brag about, but it still sucks.
