Elder, YOB and Beastwars Australian Tour Canceled
It was a nice thought to imagine YOB and Elder arriving in the Southern hemisphere to align themselves with the thunderous New Zealand outfit Beastwars and stomp their way across Australia, but seems it’s not to be. At least not now. Elder and Beastwars both put out word that the tour (which was alluded to here back in November) was a no-go. Bummer, but hopefully it’s not the last opportunity for these bands to get together.
Here’s Elder‘s announcement followed by the whole of their Spires Burn/Release EP from their Bandcamp just because it rules and some local East Coast dates they have coming up this week and beyond:
It is with great regret that we have to announce the official cancellation of our Australian/New Zealand appearances coinciding with the cancellation of Doomnations 2013. We received word this morning that the festival would not be taking place this year due to “logistical issues”.
I assure you that we are deeply disappointed to postpone our travels, but would nevertheless like to thank all bands, fans and promotors who supported us in this endeavor. We hope to one day have the privilege of performing for you!
Elder upcoming live dates:
Jan 23 O’Brien’s Allston, MA
Jan 24 St. Vitus Bar Brooklyn, NY
Jan 29 Ralph’s Worcester, MA
Mar 14 Great Scott Allston, MA
