This is basically the first time that they are playing outside of their circle in New Orleans.  They have been playing together for years, three years I think.  And all of those shows took place in or near New Orleans.  They’ve played here so much, in fact, that they are ridiculously tight because of it.  When most bands go on their first tour, the combination of pressure and exhaustion from being on the road makes many of their shows suck.  I do not think that this will happen with High In One Eye because they are so musically compatible.

The tour begins Friday in Lafayette and ends with their homecoming show in New Orleans on April 4th.  In between, they will be playing in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Baton Rouge, Pensacola, Mobile, and Clearwater (FL).  If you want the specifics, check out their Myspace.  Some cool bands that they are playing with are Wildfires, Computer Jesus Refrigerator, Megafauna, like Nomads, receiver/receiver, etc.  Check out this badass flyer that Andrew made:

Oh and they will be bringing a video camera along with them, so look out for some tour Vlogs.  They will probably be posting these videos on their own blog.  Also, Alex from Rabbit will be joining up with them when they come through Baton Rouge, just to make sure they aren’t at each others throats yet.

They have received some donations for their tour on the widget on their blogspot, but they could still use a few more $$$$$.  So if you would like to make this tour a little easier, click here and donate!

Also, be on the look out (BOLO) for two “Instrumental Showcase” shows on April 10th and April 16th.  Bands that are playing are A Living Soundtrack, Metronome the City, High In One Eye, Rabbit, Smiley With A Knife, Hat Talk, Autotomii, and Shapes Like Dinosaurs.
