URCHIN - TOUR HISTORY

- 4/14/09
** APRIL 2009 TOUR CANCELED **
Hey everyone... due to some immediate and very pressing personal issues with one of our band members, we unfortunately have to cancel the upcoming April 2009 New England mini-tour dates, as well as the warm-up show in Bethlehem. As you know, this is the absolute last thing we want to do - the only other times we have canceled dates was when I got Lyme Disease on the road in 2003, and a few dates on the Mike Watt tour right after 9/11; But this is serious and we are left with no choice. We hope to reschedule these dates as soon as we can; and expect some good extensive touring for the Rejoice/Black Castle album release - and of course the Boat Show is going to be one of the most epic nights in SOU history! Please spread the word about the cancellation, so people know. You know we are going to seriously miss playing these shows, but hang tight... we cannot wait to get out there again and rock! Tomato

SOU STREET TEAM OFFER
CLICK HERE TO HELP US PROMOTE, GET INTO THE SHOW FOR FREESOU FALL 07 "NEW ALBUM LAUNCH" TOUR

Basically, we worked out something with all the clubs on the tour where for every person who attends the shows, with each ticket/door charge includes a new limited edition cd pressing of the forthcoming Urchin album, "REJOICE", which won't be available anywhere yet until 2008! We are doing this because we want to personally spread the new music first to those people who support us around the country. We know these people are there for the music, and for the fact that they know we love what we do and will give them 1000% always. We made REJOICE with them in mind... 16 songs (even a 9 minute jam!) recorded as if it were a live urchin show, with extended B-ill and Hag shredding, power, passion and energy - but recorded at the same studio we did The Diamond at to get the ultimate sound. The album even features rock legend Ellen Foley (the female voice from Meatloaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" album and The Clash's "Sandinista!"! PLUS, we're bringing Liggy's Burlington VT light show on the road for the first time, so every club can be coverted to the arena rock! So, this tour is gonna be a special one, make sure you come out and that you let those slacker friends know that this is the Urchin Tour to make sure yer at!!! Rock on (said with not even a hint of irony!)!!! Plus there will be 2 special Urchin/Moistboyz shows in TX, where Tomato and B-ill will join Dickie Moist and his Austin moistboyz and do a full on Moistboyz set!

  • The "Symptoms '06 U.S. Tour" and the "Boat Show III Weekend" were completely insane and left many casualties, completing a summer of live Urchin madness! There are no Urchin shows scheduled at the moment, while the band is deep into pre-production for the new album. But, there will be some low-key shows coming up where the boys will try out the new songs live, and it's looking like there will be a mini-tour leading into the actual recording of the album, sometime in early November. These shows will mainly feature new songs, and will be soley to get the band's chops up for the recording, and get the songs as live as possible for the recording... all to make the most kick-ass Urchin album yet. Watch out!

This time Nectars will most likely burst into pieces!

** THIS FRI (3/24) SOU BETHLEHEM SHOW POSTPONED!! **
We are very sorry, but we are going to have to postpone this Friday's (3/24) SOU/Insidious Rays/Esme show in Bethlehem PA to a later date. Unfortunately, Tomato and B-ILL are needed in two places at the same time... Bethlehem PA at The Funhouse and a Moistboyz show at the TLA in Philly opening for CKY. We originally thought it was going to be pretty simple for Tomato and B-ILL to do both shows in the same night, then tried to think of every way we could do this, but realized that it was pretty much an impossible feat. So, being that it is much easier for us to move the Funhouse show to basically any open date, we are opting to do that. We will have a rescheduled date very soon and post it here, and we will make sure that show blows the funhouse to pieces!! Please let anyone know of this change, but make sure you Bethlehemites still make it to see the Rays and Esme. This is a first in Urchin history, and we wish we could be able to do double duty for ya, but the SOU leer jet isn't running well these days. Rock on, and we'll have a reschedule date for ya real soon!

DUE TO SERIOUS ILLNESS URCHIN IS CANCELLING THE REST OF THE CURRENT TOUR
Hello Urchin fans,
Unfortunately I am the bearer of bad news. Due to a serious illness we have to cancel the rest of the seven weeks of smell tour. Tomato has been suffering an illness for the last two months. He has been trying his best to make it through each show, but he has been getting progressively worse. He has been trying his best to keep going but at some point he has had to make the decision that getting better is the most important thing for him and the band right now - please note that Tomato WILL fully recover. We apologize to all our fans and hope to make up for the shows we are canceling whenever Tomato gets well. So don't fret, we all know its just a matter of time before Urchin takes over the world. We will see all you guys again soon. Also note that Bargain Music is continuing on to finish the tour - they rock, are carrying the flag for the urchin, so don't change yer plans, go see em - find all the info here.

Hi everyone!! we have been getting a lot of e-mails wondering when we are gonna be coming back to their town, so we figured we'd post an update here to let ya know what's been up with us. well, we have been working like crazy on songs for our new upcoming record, and are looking at a spring/summer 2003 release right now. so, rather than spend the fall touring, like we have in the past, we decided to do a bunch of local shows and concentrate on the record. and once we get the record out, we will be hittiing the road and doing more touring than we have ever done. so expect us to be running around the country like mad next year, getting to all those places we have been to, and then some. so far, we are real excited about the new songs, and are primed up to make the next urchin record the kick ass record the world has been looking for!!! rock n' roll forever. we'll see you people soon and promise to, as always, give our all on stage every night. the urchin

hey people!!! It has been a real long time since we have planned an urchin event/party, like we used to do in the early days of the band. the road has been our recent home, and has made it hard to put together these types of nights, but now it is time to do it, and it's called RETARDOPALOOZA, and this one is gonna blow away any past urchin event, even for those of you that were at the frying pan boat show!!! Here's the details...

ABOUT RETARDOPALOOZA
as you can see, this event is gonna make history... it is the first legit nyc urchin show since march, it is the first moistboyz (mickey from ween & guy heller) show since '95 and they will be celebrating the release of their new cd moistboyz III (http://www.moistboyz.com), and instant death (dave from ween & scotty byrne) will also be celebrating the release of their new cd (http://myinstantdeath.tripod.com/id_index2.htm)!!!

we have been trying to put together retardopalooza for some time now, a party/show with no filler, no lame bands, for ALL AGES, and in a venue that people don't usually see shows at. so, we rented out SHOW WORLD, the pre-disney 70's times square peep palace, with our own cash, and are bringing in a kick ass sound system with legendary kirk miller manning the board. everyone knows show world, right next to port authority, with the big 25 cent sign, neon marquee, and clowns, they have recently cleaned up the upstairs and it is a real crazy room, perfect for retardopalooza!!!

fred & big mike will be running the official retardopalooza merchandise tent at the show (not your typical merch, we promise) and we also have some surprises in store for the night, so make the drive for this one and have a blast. and to all the people who don't live near nyc, stay tuned because we will be hitting your city soon on the road.

yours in rock and roll.
