RIVAL SONS ANNOUNCE 2013 TOUR DATES INCLUDING EUROPEAN TOUR


Long Beach band RIVAL SONS kick 2013 off in style announcing dates in the USA, Canada and a return to Europe in March supporting their latest album HEAD DOWN. Guitarist Scott Holiday comments:

“Now that we’ve made it through the holidays, filled our bellies with fruitcake and hot cocoa, opened all our presents and survived the Mayan calendar, we are ready to get back on the road. We’ll start the year with a few west coast US dates before moving into a Canadian tour. We may even catch a few more US dates on the way home. We also have UK and European dates on the books for March/April and of course, we’ll be back through for the summer festivals.

“Lots of plans in the works for 2013. Yep, it’s gonna be a busy year of nonstop rock’n’roll for us boys. Chinese calendar says its the ‘year of the Sons’, Jimmy Page likes our band, and my Grandma says she ‘hears us on the radio all the time’. If that’s not the planets aligning I dunno what is. Thanks Grandma.”
