Filter, whose latest album hit stores in July, hits the road this month for a round of festival appearances and a headlining club tour.
The group’s road trip gets underway in mid-September with three Canadian dates, and includes a number of festival stops through the end of the month.
The band will then spend October in the headlining slot on Miller Beer’s Rellim Tour, a brief outing that wraps up on Oct. 19. Tickets for the Rellim Tour are set at $10, and each performance will take place “in a club that has been literally turned ‘inside out’ to create a unique backstage experience for the audience,” according to a press release.
“The audience will enter through the ‘backstage entrance,’” the press release continues, “and then proceed through the ‘artist dressing room’ and ‘lounge’ areas where they can play instruments and games, eat free pizza, and possibly even play foosball with band members! The bands will enter the venue the same way as the audience before going onstage. The end result is a casual, intimate experience that provides the environment where fans and artists can ‘hang out’ together comfortably.”
More information about the Rellim Tour will soon be posted at the outing’s official website.
“Amalgamut,” Filter’s third album, surfaced on July 30 and debuted at No. 32 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album features the singles “Where Do We Go From Here” and “American Cliché.” The latter track is due to hit radio stations on Sept. 10, according to the band’s official website.
Filter’s previous two albums--1995’s “Short Bus” and 1999’s “Title of Record"--have both gone platinum.
