CELEBRATE FAT TUESDAY BY PATIENTLY WAITING FOR OUTLAW ORDER TO GO ON TOUR

Happy Fat Tuesday, metal fans! May your evening be full of beads, booze, and bodily harm! In celebration, I tried to find some New-Orleans-Mardi-Gras-type music on my iPod today that would be appropriate for this day, and the closest I came was Down’s III: Over The Under. I love this fucking record.
While we’re still waiting for word on a full list of tour dates for that NOLA supergroup, news that southern sludgesmiths Outlaw Order (essentially Eyehategod minus one guy) are planning a few weeks of U.S. gigs to support 2008’s Dragging Down The Enforcer on the Season of Mist label. Support on all dates comes from Ivan Drago fanatics If He Dies He Dies. To say that these concerts will slay is a huge understatement.

I’ve been waiting for Down to tell us when they are touring, but it seems that it’s taking FOREVER. Back in December Hank III said they would be touring together. That is obviously not happening. I hope everything is good with Down because I haven’t heard shit about them touring since then and it’s almost spring time.
I liked the Outlaw Order disc ten times better than the last Down album. This band rules.
Down III is the shit. I put that on when I want that heavy-drinking, gritty, Southern feeling. Just the other day I cranked that shit up and cleaned my house. Then I followed it with High On Fire. Fuck yeah!
