Today Is The Day hereby announces the band’s return to widespread live performances this Spring, this week announcing a month-long US tour to take place in April and May.
Following several months off the road recuperating behind them, consequent to a brutal highway accident in late November, which destroyed their van, merch, equipment and seriously injured some of the members, Today Is The Day is now ready to take their savagery back to nearly 30 stages across America. The newly booked trek will trudge through the country clockwise, beginning in Portland, Maine on April 24th and finishing on May 24th in Rochester, New York. The current Today Is The Day lineup is completed by bassist Trevor Thomas, drummer Douglas Andrae, and founding guitarist/vocalist, Steve Austin. Direct support for the entire tour will be supplied by Georgia-based trio, Lazer/Wulf.
Additional Stateside tour actions from Today Is The Day will be announced in the coming weeks, in addition to an upcoming European tour surrounding the band’s upcoming set at this year’s massive Temples Festival in Bristol, United Kingdom at the end of May, performing alongside the likes of Converge, Pig Destroyer, Triptykon, Nails, Bongzilla, Magrudergrind, Portal, Will Haven, labelmates Goatsnake, and countless others.
Today Is The Day also has two brand new videos nearing completion to see release in the weeks ahead. Both hailing from the band’s tenth LP, Animal Mother – released in October via Southern Lord – the video for “Heathen” has been commissioned to Marcos Morales and Neil Barrett of Novel Concept TV (Primitive Man), and the visual depiction of the title track, “Animal Mother,” to David Hall of Handshake Inc. (Brutal Truth, Maryland Deathfest: The Movie), who also directed the band’s intense “Masada” video. Endure “Masada” now:
