So, no return NYC date this time, but judging by the word first leg in the press release, I’m guessing there will be another leg announced at a later date, and possibly a New York show then. For those of you living in Vancouver, I recommend checking the show at the Malkin Bowl, should be a sweet show in an intimate outdoor setting.

PS Don’t forget, on Thursday 5/18 (10PM) the band will play an exclusive NYC performance at Tower Records (4th & Broadway). A limited number of wristbands allotted with album purchase.
