The first U.S. tour in 20 years by The Godfathers apparently has been curtailed by visa problems, as the U.K. band today announced an abbreviated schedule that drops three of the first four scheduled shows and moves a Chicago date to the end of the trek.
The Godfathers today released their first new single since 1995 — a 4½-minute rocker called ‘Back Into the Future’ — and next week will release expanded reissues of 1988’s ‘Birth School Work Death’ and 1989’s ‘More Songs About Love and Hate.’
With The Godfathers mounting their first U.S. tour in two decades next month, we’re thrilled to present the band’s St. Valentine’s Day Massacre show — and we’re giving our readers a chance to win tickets to see the Feb. 14 gig at Santos Party House in New York City.
For the first time in 20 years, The Godfathers will tour the U.S. in February, a 10-date trek that includes the U.K. rockers’ annual St. Valentine’s Day Massacre — which we’re thrilled to announce as the first Slicing Up Eyeballs Presents concert — at Santo’s Party House in New York.
