Torche Line Up Some Fall Tour Dates
Kudos to the founders of the very creatively named Gainesville, FL festival The Fest (actually its name) who, despite the least SEO-friendly moniker imaginable, seem to have had no problem attracting plenty of talent for this year’s three-day event. A lot of the top-billed bands are ’90s and early ’00s punk-ish type stuff — Piebald, The Get Up Kids, The Menzingers, The Lawrence Arms, etc. — so I dunno if too many readers of MetalSucks would find it worth the trip, but at least one band on the bill is guaranteed to pummel your face off without a whole lot of whiny emo “whoa whoa whoa”s: Torche!
Rather than just play The Fest as a one-off, Torche have lined up approximately one week’s worth of shows around the Southeast to surround it, meaning fans in FL, GA, NC and VA are gonna have a good old time jamming out with their clams out. Here are the dates:
10/20 Miami, FL @ TBA
10/21 St. Petersburg, FL @ Fubar Downtown
10/22 Savannah, GA @ TBA
10/23 Durham, NC @ The Pinhook
10/24 Richmond, VA @ Strange Matter
10/25 Charlotte, NC @ The Milestone Club
10/26 Atlanta, GA @ TBA
10/27 Gainesville, FL @ The Fest
10/28 Orlando, FL @ Will’s Pub
