Manitoban noisecore militia KEN Mode have revealed their plans to murder audiences North America-wide this fall by bringing the sarcastic and sinister sounds of Success out on tour.
Titled the "HUGE Success Tour," the trip is being co-sponsored by Exclaim!, POP Matters and New Noise Magazine. It kicks off out in Saskatoon on September 9, with additional Canadian stops scattered across Alberta and BC before KEN Mode dip down into the U.S. After travelling from the West Coast out towards the east, the band head back into the mother country for performances across the Maritimes, Quebec and Montreal. A hometown gig closes out the trip on November 7.
Throughout the trip, KEN Mode will be supported by a number of fellow sonic destructionists, including Fuck the Facts, Child Bite and Conduct. You'll find all of the show specifics down below.
You can read Exclaim!'s review of KEN Mode's Steve Albini-produced Success, a "stripped-down noise-rock album that is still driven forward by the howls of Jesse Matthewson's blistering anger," over here.
