Spring Tours

Lots of awesome spring tours were announced this week (Thanks to AP.net for the info).

First up is The Starting Line, Gatsby's American Dream, Copeland, and Cartel at Slim's on March 23rd. Hot stuff. I always enjoy TSL and I'm pretty familiar with all the openers but haven't gotten to see any of them live yet.

Then we've got the Take Action Tour featuring Matchbook Romance, Silverstein, The Early November, and Amber Pacific at an as of yet unknown venue on March 29th. I'll mainly be going to see The Early November. I enjoyed Amber Pacific's recent album, so it'll be cool to see them as well.

And saving my most anticipated tour for last: Motion City Soundtrack with OK Go, Plain White T's and The Spill Canvas on the first half of the tour and The Format, The Matches, and Men Women and Childen on the second half. Tour dates aren't announced until Monday, so I'm not sure which bands will be supporting in SF. My guess is SF will be hit on the second half of the tour since I know The Format and The Matches are the west coast bands. I'm dying to see The Format again but at the same time it'd be awesome to see OK Go and The Spill Canvas, so I'll be happy either way.

If you're interested in hitting any of these shows with me, let me know.
