DAAAAAAAAMN! If I ever had a reason to finally get down to Austin, this is it….
Sounds like fun fun fun.lol
priest should cover the beach boys’ fun, fun, fun…….not, not, not
They need to do a full on tour tour tour
Gary,
I think those days might be done. That is why their Epitaph tour was considered their farewell tour. I think they will do select cities, but I think the days of full fledged Priest tours maybe over.
