The Showdown Drop Off Oh Sleeper, Impending Doom Tour

by Ryan Minic | Nov 18, 2009

The Showdown have been forced to drop off their current tour with Oh Sleeper and Impending Doom. The band’s Jeremiah Scott stated the following:

“We are truly sorry that we must drop off the Impending Doom/ Oh Sleeper tour. At the very last minute our drummer, Yogi, has had some serious family issues that need his attention. We were looking forward to tearing up the asphalt with friends from the bands as well as tearing riffs for our fans. We have kept a steady tour schedule all year long and plan to kick right back into it once our record is finished by February of next year. We appreciate all who have offered their support, thoughts, and prayers while Yogi goes through this tough time. See you back on the road in a few months.”
