Yesterday I wrote about The Dillinger Escape Plan’s upcoming tour with Iwrestledabearonce; well, it now seems that it’s actually a tour with Darkest Hour, Iwrestledabearonce, and Animals as Leaders.

Holy shit, that’s a good line-up. That’s a “get to the venue early so you don’t miss any of the bands” line-up right there. These are the kinds of bands that jump around on stage like they were having epileptic fits or something, and yet somehow never hit any sour notes – in others words, the best kind of live bands. And there’s some diversity amongst these groups – even if there are sonic correlations, no two really sound the same. Very nice.

Here are initial dates… there should be more announced in the not-too-distant future, so try not do flip out just yet if you realize the closest show is a six hour drive away or something.
