They’re back, neighborinos! Okilly Dokilly have just released a brand new single, “Slaughterhouse”, and have announced that they will be embarking on the “When The Comet Gets Here” Tour this spring. The tour kicks off on April 3rd in Phoenix, AZ and wraps up on May 9th in Austin, TX. In a press release, vocalist Head Ned stated the following regarding both the tour and the new “Slaughterhouse” single:
“We're exci-diddly-ited to announce the ‘When The Comet Gets Here Tour.’ The apocalypse may be looming over us, like a drooling Homer over a box of donuts, but that's no reason to lose all hope. Some hope, but not all hope. So grab your green sweater and what remaining hope you have left and come rage with us Neds. End times are always better as Ned times.”
“'Myself and the rest of the Neds are very excited to release ‘Slaughterhouse’ ahead of our first-ever Australian/New Zealand tour. Slaughterhouse was a song we recorded during the ‘Howdilly Twodilly’ sessions. It never made the record because of a grievous error. I recorded the quote wrong. Just before we sent the record to press, while doing an editorial check, I realized the quote was originally written down wrong. We immediately pulled it from the record. After a re-record in December of 2019, ‘Slaughterhouse’ was ready to go. ‘Slaughterhouse,’ at its core, is a song about gratitude, and us Neds sure do have a lot of gratitude for all the Neighborinos who came to our shows last year, and for the neighborinos who plan to come see us in Australia and New Zealand.”
