Dead Confederate hit the road for a string of summer tour dates which have them opening for The Drive By Truckers for 7 of those dates. I’m not too sure about the pairing of the two bands, although I like both, but I don’t get paid to make those decisions, do I?

Dead Confederate recorded their first full length with Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Trail of Dead) earlier this year here in Austin, and I’m hoping to start hearing some results of that meeting by end of summer. Fingers are crossed.

Since their performance here in Austin, I have often been asked when they are coming back this way, and looking at the current dates posted, it may be awhile. Nothing in Texas this time around.
