Gainesville, Florida's Grabass Charlestons will soon embark on a tour of the US west coast with Michigan's Cheap Girls. The bands kick things off on September 6th in San Diego at Awesome Fast (the day after the Charlestons appaer at Los Angeles' FYF Fest) and will continue up through The Fest in Gainesville on Halloween weekend.
Two shows on the tour will feature Grabass Charlestons performing as an acoustic three-piece (drummer Will Thomas will come out from behind the kit to pick up a guitar). The band has played in this format several tmes around Gainesville recently, and the audio from one of those shows will end up on a live CD. The 18 song set will also feature the bands performance the The Fest 5 in 2006. You can only find the release on these west coast tour dates.
At the band's performance at this year's Fest they'll release their new split 12" with Toys That Kill.
