The Creepshow Head West With New Singer

After returning from a six-week European musical adventure, Toronto-area psychobilly band The Creepshow will hit the highway this month for a five-week North American tour.

It will be the first time that the group have played western Canada since a tour with The Matadors last September and will give fans in that part of the country their first taste of singer/guitarist Sarah "Sin" Blackwood. She joined the band earlier this year as a temporary replacement for Jen "Hellcat" Blackwood, who's on maternity leave after having a child with Matadors singer/guitarist Joel "Hooch" Parkins. Blackwood will be joined onstage by bassist Sean "Sickboy" McNab, keyboardist The Reverend Ginty and drummer Matt Pomade.

The Creepshow formed in 2005 and released their Sell Your Soul debut last year.
