Psychostick and Look What I Did Announce The Pay Off the Van Tour
06/02/2010
.
Psychostick will hit the road this summer on a headlining tour with Look What I Did with a simple goal in mind – they want to pay off their van.
"From a business standpoint, it is always best to minimize your expenses. By doing that, it is significantly easier to tour without having a huge amount of money due every month," says Psychostick drummer Alex Preiss. "Wait...I'm supposed to be a rocker...what I meant to say was: we just want to party!"
The "Pay Off the Van Tour" will be Look What I Did's second tour with Psychostick. The bands, along with Powerglove, joined forces in May/June 2008 for the "Terrible Shirt Tour." The Look What I Did's February 2010 album, "Atlas Drugged," was produced by Brian Virtue (Deftones, Chevelle, 30 Seconds to Mars) and released on Modernist Movement Records.
"We're extremely excited to hit the road with our buddies in Look What I Did again," says Preiss. "They just released a new disc and I can't wait to see them perform some of my new favorite songs. I'm also very stoked to get our van paid off. Hey, if you could tour the country to pay off your vehicle, would you? Of course you would."
"Psychostick are great friends," says Look What I Did drummer Jake Omen. "This tour will make 'House Party 2' look like 'House Party 3.'"
Psychostick just wrapped up the final dates of their nine-week tour with Green Jelly and Nashville Pussy. The band released "The Digital Appetizer," a three-song collection of new music, earlier this month. Two of the songs, "Cockblock" and "Tuff Luv," are available for listening on the band's website.
