The band their fans love to call “Shred Zeppelin!” starts the year bringing their guitar driven, retro-new metal to Anaheim on January 17 as the opening act for Puddle of Mudd at the Hilton Pulse Room.

In March, Archer (www.myspace.com/archer) hits the road with Black Label Society, the megapopular L.A. based heavy metal band led by Zakk Wylde, and New York based nu metal band Dope for the opening Western U.S. and Canadian leg of the Black Label Bash.

Archer’s stint on this tour, Black Label Society’s first in North America since the fall of 2007, includes dates in San Francisco, Portland, Spokane, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.
