“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.”
“In other news, we are also pleased to announce that Christopher Lyle Prophet has left HORSE THE BAND and has given a statement to the press outside of his West Hills home this morning, saying the decision to leave came after two other decisions were made up in his mind; the decision to ‘pursue other interests’ and also the decision to have ‘cereal for breakfast.’ Ironically, replacing Mr. Prophet on this tour exclusively will be Mr. Jon Karel, drummer of THE NUMBER 12 LOOKS LIKE YOU. We have released this statement to the press: ‘Mr. Karel is probably like one of the top 10 drummers who has ever lived. It is thus fitting that he should now choose to play with HORSE THE BAND. We are very grateful to him for agreeing to go on the hellish nightmare experience of seeing the world for free with us. We wish Mr. Prophet future endeavors, in general.”
“To everyone wondering how we are paying for $50,000 of flights up front, we are using the HORSE THE BAND Visa Platinum Business Rewards Card, which is maxed out at $22,750, as well as Erik’s American Express Blue and David’s CITI Diamond Preferred Rewards Mastercard. Not our parents’. Also, we aren’t rich, and we do plan to make all our money back and have extra at the end.”
“Also Monster, AP, and Hot Topic are sponsoring the tour and they all helped us out a lot in different awesome ways. Thanks! If anyone wants to get in on the sponsorship action we are currently accepting money.”
