Funny…my wife NEVER goes to shows (and admittedly doesn't like a lot of music I do), but she LOVED Song Tungs and saw them with me at the Black Cat.  She couldn't believe they were playing MPP.

Hopefully they'll play Merriweather and not the stupid "Lube" if they do a show here.

Ringo Deathstarr
July 5th

Somewhere in Richmond. Will post when I find out more. Will also include later who I know was asked to play with them once it's confirmed. Good match if it works out!


Again, just the basics with more to follow as they come in.

More cities added to the US Ringo Deathstarr tour. Obviously, the DC date will be somewhere close to July 5th. Maybe even a 4th of July blowout.

"… san diego, pomona, LA, San Fran, portland, seattle, olympia, minneapolis, milwaukee, chicago, windsor, hamilton, toronto, montreal, boston, nyc, D.C., richmond, asheville, atlanta, orlando, tampa, new orleans, beaumont, houston."
i just heard them for the first time the other day . . . i was shaken up.
thank you seth . . . i finally got my partner excited about a show at your club.  yeah, it is pat benatar, but hey, i get to drag him into the scary city and pay way too much money for alcohol and good food someplace.
