YES! YES!! YES!!! Just in time to bring some chaos into 2009, my favorite live act, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN have announced a handful of east-coast shows. Earlier today, the band left this message in their Myspace blog:
Hey everyone, happy belated new years and holidays and what not. Lets get right down to it. We're playing a few shows IN A FEW WEEKS on the East Coast! BAAAM! That's right! Bet you didn't expect that when you woke up this morning. Little band, you may have heard of 'em, called The Dillinger Escape Plan, about to bulldoze your fucking town. You might wanna show up. We're probably gonna play five or so in all, but the first three are confirmed, and it's the three cities that I like to call the Triforce Of Godliness. The Holy Trinity of Dillinger cities. The three major hometowns. It goes a little something like this:
February 5th – The Barbary – Philadelphia, PA
February 6th – Ottobar – Baltimore, MD
February 7th – The Studio @ Webster Hall – New York, NY
Well, we're certainly there. The band also plans to have shows in "New Jersey and/or Boston" and will be the first headlining shows the band has done in almost a year and these will also be the first shows the band has done with new drummer, all but confirmed to be Billy Rhymer, a virtually unknown prog drummer from Long Island, NY. For those of you that are close to these venues, I cannot recommend witnessing this band enough. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself!
