(PR) With their "Holy Crap We're Touring" Tour only a few weeks behind them, PSYCHOSTICK has announced their next cross-country trek: THE TERRIBLE SHIRT TOUR. It's as dumb as it sounds - and their legion of fans wouldn't have it any other way.
Cooked up during 2007's Holiday Hate Tour, the band is encouraging, say - daring - fans to wear their most terrible shirt to the show. Josh (guitar) and Jakermeister (other guitar) have posted a tutorial on their website for this very purpose. See the video here: http://www.psychostick.com.
"We want the fans to be more involved on this tour. They're sending us photos of what they're gonna wear to the show. We used some of the photos on our tour poster and promo cards. It's a great package and we want everyone, including us, to walk away after a show and know that a forever memorable experience was just had," says Josh.
Opening each show will be Look What I Did (Nashville, TN - experimental / progressive metal) and Powerglove (Boston, MA - video game metal).
"We prefer to tour with bands we like personally. We've known both of these bands for a while and are just now getting the opportunity to tour together. You'd be surprised at what this does for overall moral too," says Josh.TOUR DATES
