Goatsnake Announce East Coast Tour Dates

Been waiting for this one to get announced. I think if anything it shows how pitiful the East Coast is at this point. Granted, Goatsnake are a West Coast act, but three dates? One’s at the Saint Vitus Bar, naturally, and one’s at Kung Fu Necktie in Philly, and one’s at the Black Cat in D.C. — kind of a homecoming there for vocalist Pete Stahl, formerly of Scream — but man, that’s it. I can’t even argue. We knew Goatsnake were going to do some limited touring, so there it is. If the shows aren’t already sold out, they invariably will be.

October 13th, 14th and 15th will see the band headlining Philadelphia, Washington DC and Brooklyn, with support on all three shows provided by additional labelmates, including Philly’s longtime hardcore punks, YDI, and Montreal art-rock trio, Big|Brave.
