Yob Announce West Coast Tour Dates

It’s been a busy year for Yob. The band toured about three-quarters of the country over the course of a month in early summer and hit the West Coast earlier this month on the heels of releasing one of the year’s best albums. In early October they’ll jet over to Europe for more than a month’s worth of headline shows. All that’s made even more impressive given frontman Mike Scheidt’s brush with death last year.

So, how about some additional tour dates to close out the year? Sure, why not! Since the band is already scheduled to play the inaugural L.A. edition of the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest, they figured they’d tack on a few shows to get them there and back from their native Eugene, OR. Thrones will support three shows on their own with Khôrada (ex-Agalloch, ex-Giant Squid) opening one and both bands finishing together on the tour’s final stop in Portland. Here ya go, you lucky West Coast ducks, you:

December 1 San Francisco, CA Slim’s ^

December 5 Seattle, WA Neumo’s #
December 7 Vancouver, BC Astoria #
