DRI touring again
D.R.I.: First Tour Dates Announced - Aug. 7, 2009
Hardcore/metal crossover pioneers D.R.I. (DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES) will return from an official hiatus and resume live performances this November,
starting November 6 in Tucson, Arizona. The band's last show in North America was September 2004 when a proposed winter tour was abruptly canceled by
the news that founding member Spike Cassidy was diagnosed with colon cancer. He underwent surgery (a one-foot section of large intestine was removed
through an eight-inch incision in his stomach on March 27, 2006), radiation and chemotherapy and is said to be winning the battle against the disease.
Cassidy commented on his return to the stage: "I am very happy D.R.I. will be playing again; it has been far too long. We are currently setting up
weekends to test the water and rebuild the stamina that we were known for. We all look forward to restarting up exactly where we left off."
He added: "Right now it is two- and three-day weekends until 2010, followed by some international work. We really are planning to be able to do a
four-week tour by late summer 2010. We are also hoping to do some festivals in the middle of these weekends, one of which will be announced in a few
weeks. It will be great to reconnect with all the fans again."
Confirmed dates so far:
Nov. 06 - Tuscon, AZ - The Rock
Nov. 07 - Mesa, AZ - U.B.'s
Nov. 27 - Seattle, WA - El Corazon
Nov. 28 - Portland, OR - Satyricon
Dec. 04 - Cleveland, OH - Peabody's Down Under
Dec. 05 - Detroit, MI - Blondie's
Dec. 11 - Virginia Beach, VA - Peppermint Beach Club
Dec. 12 - Springfield, VA - Jaxx
Dec. 13 - Baltimore, MD - Sonar
Dec. 19 - Annaheim, CA - Chain Reaction
Dec. 20 - Hollywood, CA - Key Club

The last time I saw them was during a big ice/snow storm....I barely made it up the hill to the parking lot of the club.The band still played,even
though there was very few people there....and I'm talking maybe 30 people.I think this was the mid 90's.

I wish they were allowed to play in Canada.

I read somewhere that they're not going to make a new album. They are just doing small tours.

honestly, they really don't need to make a new record. I'd go see them several times just for the the old stuff.
