Tour de Force

PERIPHERY! THE HUMAN ABSTRACT! TEXTURES! THE CONTORTIONIST! ALL ON ONE TOUR!!!

 Thursday, June 16th, 2011 at 2:30pm by

Well THAT’S not a shitty line-up.

Periphery are gonna do their first-ever headlining trek starting in September. And we would all pretty much go no matter what, ’cause it’s Periphery, and Periphery rules.

But just to make extra, extra sure that you’re onboard, the band is bringing The Human Abstract, Textures, and The Contortionist along with them.

I can’t emphasize enough what a great bill that is. I know a lot of you who wanted to see THA on their most recent headlining tour didn’t get to, ’cause the tour was cut short due to the loss of a family member of one of the dudes in the band, so here will be your chance to finally get to see them do all that great Digital Veil material live. And it’s Textures’ first time in playing North America, which means, by gosh, you MUST MUST MUST go see them.

Tour dates haven’t been announced yet, but the second we have ‘em, you shall as well.

    This is sweet. None of these bands will be stinking up any other tours for at least a few weeks.

    If this dosen’t come to Maryland somebody will die.
    It always seems as if all the best tours love to skip over the Marlyand/D.C. area

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ian-Wilmot/1177765489 Ian Wilmot

      actually… i just realized the only reason i care is that i missed the last time the contortionist came to Maryland.

  • Andrew

    Oh my god amazing, better come to Minnesota or at least Wisconsin…

      Too bad none of my friends will come to this show with me, its not BR00TAL enough for them!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jon-Buckley/515200062 Jon Buckley

    This tour sounds awesome, The Contortionist rule!

  • Kuranes

    It’s fitting that Toontrack is sponsoring this tour… No live drums were harmed in the production of any of these bands’ albums.

    • MikeForbid

      yer fulla shit

    • ixrxthethorn

      Lol good point

    • http://www.brentapetrie.com brent

      You’re apparently not familiar with Textures at all. Stef Broks might trigger some of his kit, but it’s certainly not a Superior Drummer job or anything.

    • Aether Jake

      I like these bands, but this is really true.

  • ixrxthethorn

    The only band I care for in this lineup is the headliner themselves. I don’t really care for the rest of the lineup. Still might be worth going though.

    man i really want some mountain dew.

    • TheSkunkCatcher

      lol

    If it comes around I might go just for Textures if tickets are cheap enough.

  • Owenay

    The Palladium in Worcester: MAKE IT SO!

  • John

    Textures = bathroom break + merch table browsing time

    Considering I’ve only heard one song from The Contortionist, all I can say is who wants a bunch of bree bree bullshit mixed with my progressive metal tour. Guess that means I get to show up late.

    • Android

      You should listen to their song “Vessel.” It might change your mind..

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Aaron-Hooper/100000303154437 Aaron Hooper

        I retract my previous statement, this song was actually great, and now I’m excited for the whole show. Thanks for the heads up Android sir.

          I’ll add to Android’s recommendation, and say you need to hear ‘Flourish’. Amazing track.

          I can’t fuckin wait for this tour. Please come to Dallas!

        • Q

          The entire exoplanet album is phenomenal. I’m going to assume what you heard was from previous works, which yes, its god awful.

          • chimm

            just saw the contortionist in st pete and they were incredible, great musicians-u wont be disappointed

  • spanisheddie

    Are these wrestlers?

  • neversummer429

    new england better be on the agenda, I second the palladium request………sick sick sick show

  • carlos

    Periphery are alright. Personally, I would just go for Textures. I need to give the other bands a good listen before I say anything.

  • Gavin

    I can’t wait >=D

  • dicknballs

    Textures and The Contortionist = yes. If Periphery and THA can muzzle their singers then I’ll get a boner about them too.

  • daff

    Familiar with Textures and kind of heard of these other bands. Are they death/emo/metalcore? If so, I’m fucking sick of that crap. Everyone wants to be Mastodon in the past 3 years. Not funny

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Pat-Ricky-Mc/100000187918972 Pat Ricky Mc

      But you are! Ho, ho!

  • Ruin

    @Dicknballs couldn’t agree more!!

  • djent is a technique, not a genre

    textures opening for periphery

    bill hicks opening for dane cook

  • Bach

  • Speedgtr16
