We Have Decided to Split...

... the tours into two halves!

Why, O Why?

'Cuz, like, we needed a bit more time to get Noon and Eternity into shops, on the various sympathetic radio (and podcast) outlets, into print and online circulation, etc. We ideally desire six weeks of hive-mind seepage, media penetration, and fervent cultural taint stroking before taking the Bugatti out to the I-476. Thus, our dilemma. I called Don, then Menlo Marc, then CG, then Ben... We decided no other options were available. With the manufacturer's turnaround deadline edging into mid-September, we've opted to cool our heels until mid-November.

What does this mean for music lovers in Canada? Fear not, gaunt, Mapleleaf'd tofurkey mavens! Our northern jaunt is locked - we're on! Festivities begin August 31st at an undisclosed location somewhere in Montreal.

For the TLASILA-poisoned in the continental 48, however, you'll have to make do with the alb (now scheduled for a late-September/early October release) until our domestic trek begins around November 10... Yeah, it kinda blows, but we'd rather tour in support of an album in actual release. Easily understood, non?

The Noon and Eternity Tour

USA

Mid-to-late November, 2006...

We apologize for the upheaval in advance, but this is the best solution. Rest assured we don't intend to slack off in the blown minds department. (Maybe a spot of shoplifting, some sniffing of unmentionables, but not much else.) No, it's a question of providing you with the necessary supplemental materials. You'll likely forget to thank us as you're begging for mercy, but that's all part of the game on our, er, hyphy train...

Yeah, yeah, etc.,

Tom

It's a little early yet, AS. We'll let you (and everyone else) know as soon as we have our heads round the November itinerary...

Is a later Noon tour going to allow you to venture out a bit further west?

Thanks for understanding, Andrew. It's a definite bummer, but ultimately we had no choice. We've literally slaved over this fucking album, and I see no point in taking a half-assed approach to touring. Better to wait another five or six weeks than go out without the alb we're touring behind! Spauld, the October release date may indeed give us more latitude with our itinerary - Chris and I were talking about this on Monday... We have the desire; our only impediment is time.

Best,

Tom

I think touring before and after the release is a great idea, actually. You know, especially since the first tour's more centered around your base - New York and Northeastern Canada. You're going to get some major Noon pre-promotion with the first tour, and then to actually tour in support of the album just a few months later... that's a pretty solid plan. I certainly wouldn't apologize for it.

Obviously, I'm not suggesting anything you hadn't already beaten to death - just offering the support for the decision.

It's kind of a long ways away yet, but all this touring talk is getting me pretty excited for Noon and Eternity. Essentially it's just going to be a matter of whether or not I'll be able to partake in the live experience.
