Locusta kicked off their summer tour Saturday at the Carabar in their hometown of Columbus, OH. The tour also features Argentinum Astrum and will run through mid August. Said Locusta guitarist Dru Silver: "Ready as ever to kick some teeth in on the road with our friends Argentinum Astrum, an unholy bastard child of black and doom, a.k.a. Knoxville's best kept metal secret. There will be tour shirts available at the merch table, along with all kinds of goodies.
"We are having trouble with a few holes in our route though, if anyone can help us on any of these days we'd definitely be willing to return the favor in either of our respective cities (i.e. show trade). House shows/parties, BBQs, bar mitzvah's, whatever; we're game. Or if there's already a show happening that we could possibly jump on we'd be willing to share equipment/set times/sell merch to forfeit door money if necessary; anything at this point. Feel free to shoot us an e-mail (locusta614@yahoo.com) if you think you may be able to help. The dates are below."
