Relient K Embark on A Three Hour Tour

10/05/2009
. (PR) Relient K are on the road for their "A Three Hour Tour" 18-city trek across the eastern portion of the US. The limited-engagement month long tour is in support of their upcoming release Forget And Not Slow Down out on October 6th on Mono Vs. Stereo/ Jive Records. The tour kicked off on October 1st in New Haven, CT with opening acts Copeland and Barcelona.

To prep for Forget And Not Slow Down, Matt Thiessen retreated to a remote house in Winchester, TN in isolation for several months writing material for the new record. During his sojourn, Thiessen stayed in constant contact with guitarist Matt Hoopes and the rest of the band � drummer Ethan Luck, bassist John Warne and guitarist Jon Schneck - sharing song ideas and mapping out a direction for the album.

"We definitely wanted to make a rock record," front man Thiessen confirms. To that end the band rejoined with longtime producer Mark Townsend, and enlisted legendary mixer Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Jeff Buckley, Sheryl Crow).

Tickets are available now and the remaining stops for their "A Three Hour Tour" dates are listed below.
