As the flame of Rock-n-Roll tries to fade quietly into the background within a modern music scene that seems to be forgetting it’s past and origin, Dead Confederate spew fuel on the fire keeping hope alive that Rock-n-Roll will never die.

Taking to the road, where they spent much of 2008 in support of the Mike McCarthy produced Wrecking Ball, the guys from Athens, GA join forces with another Athen’s band hell bent on bringing on the Rock, The Whigs. The road leads West for Feb and March, with the final destination being Austin, TX for SXSW 2009.
