What We Know

There are quite a lot of things we do not know, going into this tour. We have never been on tour before, and have only played outside of our city, Portland, once. So I will start off with the things we DO know, as that list is much smaller and manageable.

Our tour will be a joint tour with the fantastic band The Hand That Bleeds (whom you will hear much about in the coming weeks) with the goal of promoting our split 12" vinyl (and soon to be released CD version) we are releasing together.

We kick off our tour August 2, 2008 in Portland, Oregon. The venue is called Backspace. All ages. Five bucks. We haven't finialized the line up of the bands who are going to play with us. Possibly there will be an all-out all-night after party after the show. But we do not KNOW that yet.

Then On August 6, we will hit the road. Our path will be as follows:




We also know and are aware of this. Five years ago, another band from Portland was on tour, coming home, and wrecked their van, killing everyone but one person. On the Five year anniversary, yet another Portland band got into a car wreck and everyone was rushed to the hospital with broken bones and injuries. This scares us just a little, especially since I just finished watching Final Destination (both 1 and 2.) Despite this, I can speak for everyone, we are all extremely excited to get out on the road, and with luck we will make it back home with our bodies and guitars in one piece.

Stay tuned and stay sick,

Too bad I'm gonna miss your tour. I'm going home while your here in Portland but I'll be home when you hit Phoenix. Too bad.

Cindy-

All of the venues and dates are posted on myspace.com/monstersizedmonsters, save grand junction, which will be a last minute thing. Some of the venues don't have addresses yet, but we'll get them updated as soon as we know what they are.

Matt-

That does suck!
