TLDR – Cybertronic is out – We\u2019re still in – Europe is postponed – We made some videos – Here\u2019s a ringtone – The Wolf Among Us 2 – This has been one hell of a week.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found out today that Cybertronic Spree<\/a> is going to have to bow out of the tour, because one of their crew came down with COVID. Rather than me speaking for them, this is what they asked us to pass along to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We were incredibly excited to share the stage with them, and we wish them well on their recovery. We’ll make it happen one day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT THE GOOD NEWS…<\/strong>
\u2026 is that we WILL be carrying on without them. We haven\u2019t fully locked down what we\u2019re going to do about a support act\/s, but that, too, we\u2019ll figure out! Right now we know we\u2019ll be playing with Watch Out For Snakes<\/a> in Atlanta, Destructonomicon<\/a> in Orlando, Thrillkiller<\/a> in Baltimore, as well as others. We\u2019ll try to announce more as we know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARCH<\/strong>
12th \u2013 Atlanta, GA \u2013 The Loft<\/a>
13th \u2013 Orlando, FL \u2013 The Abbey<\/a>
14th \u2013 Gainesville, FL \u2013 High Dive<\/a>
16th \u2013 Carrboro, NC \u2013 Cat\u2019s Cradle<\/a>
17th \u2013 Baltimore, MD \u2013 Soundstage<\/a> 
19th \u2013 New York City, NY \u2013 LPR<\/a>
20th \u2013 Philadelphia, PA \u2013 World Cafe Live<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fancy screen printed poster that John DeLucca<\/a> and Caspar Newbolt<\/a> put together and Grand Palace<\/a> printed. We\u2019ll still be selling them at shows, even though Cybertronic won\u2019t be with us, because they\u2019re awesome and we\u2019ve got a lot of them\u2026 and they weren\u2019t very cheap to make. They\u2019re printed on red foil reflective paper, and they\u2019re pretty danged rad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Check out some of the print process\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you don\u2019t follow us on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, or Youtube<\/a>, you might have missed these little award winning (not really) short films we put together recently to promote the tour. Clearly, we can\u2019t go back and fix all the other videos to take Cybertronic off of them, but we\u2019ll just carry on releasing the last few with an amended band card. It\u2019s probably easiest to check them out in order on instagram or this youtube playlist \u2014> When Panther Calls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also be able to check them out at Cannes Film Festival in a couple months (not really).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And some of you asked for the ringtone so you could feel like you\u2019re getting beeps from Panther. Don\u2019t say I ain\u2019t never did nothin\u2019 for you \u2014> WILL OF ONE RINGTONE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND MORE BAD NEWS… EUROPEAN TOUR<\/strong> EDITION<\/strong>
We\u2019re having to postpone our European Tour until March of next year. We know this whole email is raging bummer-town but we found out recently that the Sci-Fi Weekender convention had to postpone. We tried our best to make the tour happen anyway, but without that show, we can\u2019t make the rest of it work financially. But the good news is we\u2019ve already locked down dates to reschedule the entire thing (same venues and all) and all tickets will be honored for March of next year. Here are the new dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013MARCH 2023<\/strong>\u2013

11th \u2013 Amsterdam \u2013 Melkweg<\/a> 
12th -Berlin \u2013 Frannz Club<\/a>
16th \u2013 London \u2013 Shepherd\u2019s Bush<\/a>
17th \u2013 Great Yarmouth \u2013 Sci-Fi Weekender<\/a>
18th \u2013 Swansea \u2013 Sin City <\/a>

*ticket links shouuuulllld just switch over to the new dates soon? We\u2019ll keep an eye on it and fix things as necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IN SOME BETTER NEWS \u2013 THE WOLF AMONG US 2<\/strong>
In case you missed it, check out the new The Wolf Among Us 2 trailer<\/a>. You might hear something familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, we\u2019re incredibly sorry for all the bad news, and I hate that this was such a downer email. I want to end it on a happier note, though….. We\u2019re playing a brand new Act III jam on this tour! That\u2019s something, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, hope to see some of you out there, and let’s do some rock and roll!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
