The Gories Take Reunion Tour Through North America, Include Stops in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal

BY Stephen CarlickPublished May 6, 2010

After playing some European festivals and two shows at Detroit's Majestic Theatre last year, it seemed as if recently reunited punkers the Gories might call it a day once again. Instead, the band seem invigorated, and have announced a slew of new North American tour dates.

We already knew the blues punk pioneers were set to play the Ottawa Bluesfest, but now we can add headlining sets in Toronto and Montreal this July, followed by a short swing through the U.S.

Tickets for most shows are on sale now at Ticketmaster. Information on the Ottawa Bluesfest tickets can be found here.

If we're lucky, maybe the Gories will even grace us with a new LP. But maybe that's asking too much. Tour dates:

7/15 Ottawa, ON - Ottawa Bluesfest
7/16 Toronto, ON - Lee's Palace
7/17 Montreal, QC - La Sala Rossa
7/29 Hoboken, NJ - Maxwell's
7/30 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
7/31 New York, NY - Lincoln Center
9/8 Los Angeles, CA - The Echo
9/9 San Francisco, CA - The Independent
9/10 Portland, OR - Musicfest NW
