HORSE the Band have announced the schedule and some of the dates/routing for the first leg of their upcoming 40–country world tour.

We are still planning a DVD, reality–TV series, and feature length documentary as well as press coverage in National Geographic, Time, Life, People, etc. We're still waiting on a few shows in China to be confirmed and the one show in Dubai. Dubai has been a nightmare to book. If anyone wants to help us out with Dubai email us at horsethebooking@gmail.com. Anything else still TBA will be confirmed in the next week or so.

Leg 2 will include all of North and Central America and will take place this summer, hopefully for the most part on Warped Tour (if Kevin Lyman can fit us in somewhere, evidently it's "full" but a few tens of thousands of emails, bribery, and straight–up blackmail could reveal an previously overlooked opening). If not we start picking off uni–haircut bands with colorful, whimsical ads in the first 30–40 pages of AP. No one will notice they're gone anyway. We'll definitely be hitting the US, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama at least.

Leg 3 will be in the fall. We hope to confirm 3 weeks in Brazil on the Vans Zona Punk tour, followed by shows in any other South American countries that will have us. The last show of Earth Tour will be in South Africa. By that time, if we aren't dead, we'll have played 6 continents in one year and made the world a much, much better place by making a lot of American Internet experts on various topics who have never done anything of note with their lives (you) insanely jealous and angry.
