Blast kicks off tour around the country

No corner of the country will be left unmoshed this month as the all-ages Blast tour descends on Gorey Community School (April 2 @ 2pm); Elmos Youth Centre, Ennis (4 @ 7pm); Forum, Waterford (5 @ 6pm); Half Moon, Cork (6 @ 2pm); Black Box, Galway (8 @ 5.30pm); Trades Club, Sligo (10 @ 2pm); Star, Drogheda (13 @ 3pm); Spirit Store, Dundalk (14 @ 2pm); Banjo Sherlock's, Navan (16 @ 6pm); and The Hub, Dublin (17 @ 1.30pm).

Headline acts on all of the dates are On/Off, Underskore and Rooster 32 who all have records out this year on The Revs' old label, Treasure Island.

In keeping with Blast's policy of nurturing young talent, they'll be joined at each of the venues by a gaggle of up and coming local bands.
