TERMINALLY ILL IS GOING TO “TOUR”
As you all may or may not know, touring is practically impossible for punk bands of our stature…Not because the planning, tour routing, event planning, and promotional work involved are extremely time-consuming and mentally exhausting.. Nooooooo, that part is fine, BRO. That is the “easy” part… The astronomically impossible part of effectively planning tours is convincing a bar or music venue that your band deserves to make money for their efforts, and even more impossible – actually collecting any money that these venues begrudgingly agree to pay you… One simple variable could change our ability to tour at any given moment…As the Wu Tang Clan said… “Cash Ruins Everyone Around Me:… Dollar, Dollar Bill,…..y’all ?
With that said, when we “tour” we play 2,3 or 5 day runs of shows because that is all we are capable of doing… SO we have two planned this year…and we are stoked AF to see all the homies, fam and fans in all these respective areas. If you are from this area, fucking come out and have 17 or 23 drinks with us, why don’t you?!?!
Here is all the info that we have at this time…

Again, to tie this back to COVID-19… all of these dates are booked, but they are all subject to be postponed… As much as I would LOVE to act like the singer of The Exploited and make unsubstantiated claims about our shows while talking shit on Green Day… I am going to revert to ONLY talking shit on Green Day… Here I go.. Green Day was a band that was at the right place at the right time… I do have to say, that Tre Cool’s drumming style did influence my drumming a shit ton… and they were one of the early punk bands that I listened to as a kid… but once you grow into an adult you realize that they are illiterate, undeserving, mid-rank punk dikheads that are completely overrated and overdramatic. I have to say, I truly hate any music that came out from them after the “Warning” album – and even that one is pretty fucking terrible.
