Fallujah, Archspire and Lorna Shore Announce Spring U.S. Tour Dates, Including SXSW

One of last year’s major bummer occurred when Fallujah had to drop off their tour with Broken Hope, Oceano and Rivers of Nihil mid-way through due to van issues. Not only did that mean Fallujah wouldn’t make it to the East Coast, but the whole damn tour fell apart a couple of weeks later. Thankfully Fallujah landed a spot on Summer Slaughter so we got to see them play live after all, but a 20-minute opening set was not enough! We want more!

Here’s some great news, then, both for us and for you: In addition to their MetalSucks-sponsored run with The Contortionist, Revocation and Toothgrinder, Fallujah have announced three weeks’ worth of dates in March, and they’re bringing Archspire and Lorna Shore with them. I’m not all that familiar with Lorna Shore, but that latest Archspire record has been garnering all sorts of praise, so this oughtta be a fun show to attend if it stops in your town.

ALSO: Notice there are a couple of SXSW dates in that routing. Hmmmm… wonder what that could be all about? <cough>
