MIKE HALE and NINJA GUN tour April/May 2009

[Guest Admin]

Starting April 10th, 2009, Suburban Home artists, Mike Hale http://www.myspace.com/mikehalemusic and Ninja Gun http://www.myspace.com/ninjagun will be embarking on a tour of the United States and Canada. The tour will find Mike and Ninja Gun starting out in Gainesville, Florida, and doing a big circle around the United States and throughout parts of Canada, and I think the tour will end in Georgia. There are still a handful of dates awaiting confirmation.

Mike Hale will be supporting his new album, "Lives Like Mine" which will be in stores on April 28th, 2009. Ninja Gun will be supporting their album, "Restless Rubes" which could end up being their final tour on this album before working on a new record for Suburban Home. Alternative Press gave “Restless Rubes” 4 out of 5 stars comparing Ninja Gun to Tom Petty and Big Star going on to say, “it’s a loving re-imagining of some of the finest radio rock of the ’70s and ’80s.”

As a label, we are always excited to see our bands tour together. Mike and Ninja Gun met during our 13th Anniversary weekend and I am really glad that the meeting has led to this tour. Do not be surprised to see Mike on stage with Ninja Gun offering back up vocals and Ninja Gun on stage with Mike backing him up. It should be a really fun tour. I hope that you mark these dates on your calendar. Not only will these shows be amazing, All 5 folks that make up Mike hale and Ninja Gun are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet.

It seems Suburban Home bands never hit Baltimore.

never say never. there are a few open dates on the tour so maybe one of them will be Baltimore.

[troymess]

No Pittsburgh, No Cleveland?!?! ARGH!

[geezfools]

Will be attending the Seattle show, pretty stoked!

[scotterson]

if they added pensacola, i would be so happy. but i would settle for tallahassee. unfortunately, i cant swing an overnight trip right now, but i would make a three hour drive to see mike. and ninja gun is a solid bonus.

[pjaicomo]

What are the odds that the Atlantic will be closed?

[deafmx]

suburban home bands really dislike MN I think I know Ghost Buffalo played a craphole bar but at least got a video out of their visit.

[aarondanger]

no Houston........

[travis]

Virgil, get Jay to book a LA show on 5/9!

[100resolutions]

I'm booking the tour in Monteal! Can't wait to see Ninja Gun live for the very first time.

[littlejonnyhormone]

Yeah there's really no space for a Pittsburgh or Cleveland date. Poop.

[quinncallahan]

Woot woot! See ya at the khyber April 16th

[alangrey]

They should hit up Asheville nc on 4\14

[controlthebleeding]

oh fuck yea!! AUSTIN on the list. Awesome. looks like me and marty36 will b there.

after watching TWO COW GARAGE it's gonna be hard for any band from Suburban Home to live up too live.... TCG was probably one of the best bands i saw live this whole festival and a few others..

[geezfools]

Hoping I can bring a camera to this show...

in seattle that is

[thechuckdiezel]
