Municipal Waste Announces 'Brainsqueeze' North American Tour
Municipal Waste has announced that they will be heading out on a month-long North American tour next year dubbed the ‘Brainsqueeze’ Tour. Support will come from Ghoul, Necrot, and Dead Heat, with dates slated to kick off on February 15th in Washington DC. The tour will wrap up on March 16th in Richmond, VA, with a Bay Area date slated for March 4th at Berkeley’s UC Theatre. The tour will also be in celebration of the twenty-first anniversary of the band’s debut album, Waste ‘Em All.
In a press release announcing the tour, vocalist Tony Foresta stated the following:
“We don't do headlining runs in the states as often as we should. So this time, in order to celebrate the twenty first anniversary of our first album, Waste ‘Em All, we wanted to do it with bands and people that we consider our family and friends. Back in the day, we had a tradition that our sixth band member, Scotty, created in Oakland called ‘Brainsqueeze.’ It was a very fun but short-lived tradition that brought together people from all over the world in the small scene we built. Those events were very dear to us and we felt it needed to come back in one way or another.
"Twenty-one is a big birthday for all of us, so in order to celebrate Waste ‘Em All's big one, we thought it would be best to bring the Brainsqueeze to you! We couldn't be more excited to have Ghoul, Necrot, and Dead Heat back on the road with us as well as a few regional surprises along the way. This is going to be a good one. See you soon!”
Tickets for all dates will go on sale this Friday, November 10th at 10 AM local time, and you can view the full tour routing below.
