Campus Tour???

[Lolita101]

Ok, so, the Kings were saying that after this current tour w/ Secret Machines that they would begin a Campus/College Tour. I assumed it would be after a long break, God knows they need it (want it). Recently heard of a scheduled show at Newpot Music Hall in Columbus, OH (my home town) which is also a very large Campus community (OSU 2nd largest university in the U.S.). So I assumed that this was the beginning of their Campus/College Tour. But, seeing that there haven't been any dates listed on the official site or anywhere else for that matter I don't know if this is some killer random show that's been added to their already exhausted schedule, or if it is the official beginning leg of their Campus/College Tour.
Does anyone have a clue, or any details?
I hope they take a break, honestly.

If I find anything else about this, I'll post it.

~Side Note: Went to several shows recently, and didn't hear any new material, has anyone heard any new songs??? There are alterations in many of their songs, which is great; especially when Caleb goes into the verbal breakdown. But, I haven't heard an ounce of the new songs.

I heard the same thing about them doing some campus gigs....but I haven't heard of any announced dates yet. I know Penn State will be on the list! They have played there b4.

Forgive me if this sounds dumb...but I thought that Head to Toe was a new tune....I heard them play it twice in one week and figured it was new as I've never heard it at any of thier other concerts that I've been to.

[Lolita101]

I suppose it's relatively new. But I've known that song for months now. They performed it at every gig I saw. I dont really consider that new material. From what I read and understood is that we would hear whats coming on the new record, "hints of ska" was suggested even, so Im still waitin'.
Thanks!!

I don't know about that PSU thing. I was at that show and they weren't really well recieved. Some people left after the 22-20s and Jet played. I hope to God they do come back though. It would make my semester immensely better.

Head to toe isn't that new.. they played it in december over here...

What's a campus tour? Basically where they play at colleges?? Wish they'd do that over here in the uk.

[Lolita101]

Yeah, whenever a band says a Campus/College Tour then they hit major campuses and college towns. Are there enough established universities in the UK to format a Campus Tour? That would be interesting to see a band tour colleges in the UK, hmmmm.

Oh sorry to hear to that...i figured they'd go back, but after what you said it sounds like they may skip out on PSU this fall...hopefully they'll be somewhere close by where you can see them.

Head to Toe is the B side to the Four Kicks single, I am pretty sure it is that single anyways. So I don't think it is new material.

[Lolita101]

So, basically they've only played their new material during sound check, and what they said earlier was a tease. J/K. They probably realized that the U.S. fans are just as "intense" as the UK fans have been, and decided against playing the new material because it would be recorded illegally. That's what Im guessing is the deal.

I think they are bound to add more dates through November. So expect those...

[Lolita101]

Certainly they will add more through Nov, so hopefully then we'll get a taste.

[Porcelain]

if they are adding more dates in november,doesn't that mean there will be a delay in making the 3rd album

[Lolita101]

From all that I've heard, they have most of the new songs already written, and the 3 week "break" they're planning to take after the festivals is mean to be a vacation but they said they'll prob end up recording and workin on shit anyways. They also said they want to record in Nashville, again, for the hell of it (whatever that means). So Im guessing they'll schedule several breaks between this upcoming tour and manage to record it during that period, otherwise it will be a bit after all the scrambled touring is over.

[AccuratePassion]

Okay Nathan was so drunk at the Atlanta after party that I asked him about the tour and he said that it would be a six week tour starting the second week of September. Not all the dates are confirmed with the venues yet that is why they are not up yet.
