Boston Are Back On The Road
The band have announced a summer North American tour
Band principle Tom Scholz has revealed "Just 10 months till the end ... at least till the end of the Mayan calendar, anyway. I wonder, did they mean to prophesize the end of the world, or was the December 21st planetary alignment just a convenient place to stop chiseling stone tablets on a really long calendar project? Some people think it is the same thing, so why take a chance? If I was making a bucket list, it would definitely include going out one more time to play some Boston shows — before time runs out!”
"I don’t really think the world is going to end this year,” Scholz continued, "but on the off chance the Mayans were on to something, let me take a moment to thank all of you for helping make the Boston experience an awesome ride. One of the best things about Boston to me is its fans; they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and collectively the best crowds anyone could wish to play for.”
"I regret that we can't play as many shows as we would like, but we will do as much as we can in North America.”
It's widely expected that the band will release a new studio album at some point in the not too distant future. Last summer they were said to be 85% finished on the follow-up to 2002's Corporate America.
