Fucked Up Summer Tour Dates Announced

Fucked Up will head out on a summer tour this month . The Toronto hardcore/experimental band will start out in Europe and will also play two North American dates.

Fucked Up have recently returned from a tour of China. You can read about their experiences here and here.

In other Fucked Up news, lead vocalist Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham has just landed a gig on the Fox News show Red Eye. Host Greg Gutfeld named The Chemistry Of Common Life his top album of 2008, and Pink Eyes was made a permanent fixture on the show after being invited on for two subsequent guest appearances.

Guitarist Ben "Young Governor" Cook has been busy with his solo work — he released his "Virginia Creeper" seven-inch single in January. His band, The Bitters — a collaboration with experimental musician Aerin Fogel — released their Warrior twelve-inch EP in April and plan to release a self-titled seven-inch in the near future. The latest single from Cook’s third project, The Marvelous Darlings, is streaming here.
