Just last month The Spill Canvas announced a headlining tour in celebration of the 10th anniversary of their classic 2005 album, One Fell Swoop (111 Records),where they’ll be performing the record in its entirety. The tour officially kicks off August 5th in Denver, Colorado at Larimer Lounge. The direct support, The Press War, as well as Bonfires will begin the tour at Pinelands Music Festival in Millville, NJ on August 15th. Today, the band is thrilled to announce 3 additional dates where they’ll be performing their classic, Sunsets & Car Crashes (111 Records) in full Sunday, August 9th at The Roxy, (Los Angeles, CA), Thursday, August 13th at The Masquerade (Purgatory) (Atlanta, GA), and Monday, August 24th at The Middle East (Downstairs) (Boston, MA). In addition, they’ve confirmed a new One Fell Swoop date Friday, August 21st at The Shelter (Detroit). Tickets for the new show dates will be on sale this Friday, June 26th.
Frontman Nick Thomas and long-time bass player Landon Heil will be heading out on the tour with live members filling out the remaining roles. This tour will kick off immediately after The Spill Canvas hits the road with Motion City Soundtrack as direct support who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary of Commit This To Memory. Nick Thomas had this to say about the anniversary tour:
“It’s so unbelievable to me that ten years later, we’re still able to call this dream we had our jobs. We’re grateful and honored to be able to play our fans an album front to back that means just as much to us as it does to many of you. It’s been such a long time since we’ve played some of these songs, and even longer for the few we’ve never even played live before. We’re beyond excited to get back out on the road, and hope to see you at a show.”
Following The Spill Canvas’ wildly successful debut album Sunsets & Car Crashes in 2004, the band released One Fell Swoop in August 2005 powered by the melodic hits “Polygraph, Right Now!” and “Staplegunned.” One Fell Swoop produced by Ed Rose (The Get Up Kids) landed at No. 29 on the Top Heatseekers chart. and No. 47 Top Independent Albums chart and sold more than 50,000 copies. Over the years the Alternative/Rock outfit toured with the likes of Yellowcard, Motion City Soundtrack, Switchfoot, The Plain White T’s, Goo Goo Dolls, and One Republic to name a few.
To celebrate the announcement, direct support The Press War are giving away an acoustic version of their hit single “I’m So Bored With Us” as a free download exclusively on their soundcloud which originally premiered with Glamour Kills. Fans can also check out the band’s latest live video featuring the track here!
