Old Coal To Play Chico - Feb 27

http://www.oldcoal.com
Old Coal is set to embark on their longest tour ever with a one-date stop in Chico, CA at the famed Down Lo Pub. Drummer Hood commented on the band’s decision to tour, “The Central Valley Tour is the perfect length for a band of our stature. It’s really all we can handle at this point.” TMZ reported that promoter Foxy Inge K had successfully negotiated dates at the Olive Tree in Corning, Bill & Kathy’s in Dunnegin and Granzella’s in Williams, but these shows were promptly cancelled due to security concerns and less than stellar crop harvests. “Olives, Almonds… it all went to shit because of El Fucking Nino or something,” said Foxy. “I can’t send my boys in those kind of conditions.”

Still, Old Coal will be playing an extended set at the Down Lo in Chico on Saturday, Feb 27 at 9pm. Jipe is calling it a long awaited Odyssey fulfilled and singer Neil Jessrobin views it as a long time dream come true. “To go on the road and bring our love of 80s covers and Mr. Diamond to the Central Valley, especially Chico, an established college town heralded for excess drinking, it brings tears, really. Everytime I see Lou Diamond Phillips board that plane in La Bamba, I think, 'that could be me!'. Except the crashing part. That would be bad."
