After releasing their sixth full-length album Success last month, KEN Mode has announced a monster of a tour, called “The Huge Success Tour.” On this 50+ date run they’ll be playing with a slew of bands; Conduct, Fuck The Facts, Child Bite, Life In Vacuum, We Are Hex, Lo-Pan, and even a comedian by the name of Garrett Jamieson.
All this touring to promote Success, which vocalist and guitarist Jesse Matthewson described to Exclaim:
“A decidedly stripped-down northern noise rock apocalypse to be unleashed on the world. Time to take this back to our roots.”
If you’re in the Winnipeg, Manitoba area on Sunday, July 19th, KEN Mode is shooting a video for “These Tight Jeans” and they’re looking for extras. The song is from Success, which sold 310 copies in its first week of release, and follows the music video for “Blessed,” which came out back in March. Stay tuned for a KEN Mode interview on Metal Insider coming later this week.
