Late last year, we offered fans their first taste of Black Tide’s latest EP, Bite The Bullet. The EP proved that the Florida group was still alive and kicking ass. Now, having newly signed to TKO Booking, Black Tide intends to keep the momentum going with a massive U.S. tour.
Fittingly dubbed The Rise Again Tour, Black Tide will be hitting the road with the likes of Threat Signal, Affiance and Hatchet. Singer/guitarist Gabriel Garcia had the following to share with us about the upcoming headlining tour:
“I can’t wait to hit the road and bust this tour out. I’ve been driving around Miami blasting Hatchet all week. These guys are killer. We want to invite them to share our tour bus, but shit could get crazy. This is a kick ass bill, four high-energy live acts and the fans are gonna be blown away. A good time will be had by all. I may even announce our new record label on the last night of the tour.”
As an added bonus, tour-sponsor Digital Tour Bus will not only provide fans with a behind-the-scenes view of the tour, but also help Black Tide pick a fan to join them on the bus. The band will be accepting video submissions from fans saying why they would make a great “tour mate,” picking select winners to join them on the bus and backstage. More info about submissions will be made through the band’s website, www.blacktidemusic.com.
