Lightyear: on tour in 2012
Posted by jamie on Mar 23, 2012
Yes, really. Lightyear are off on another last ever tour, which, of course, we have to hope isn’t actually their last ever “last ever” tour. They’ll be playing with Anti-Vigilante, New Town Kings, Above Them and Tyrannosaurus Alan.
Here’s what they’ve said:
In their time, LIGHTYEAR terrorized the European skapunk scene….. If you weren’t there but heard about it, it was probably all true.
They returning briefly for a hot sweaty, mostly naked Summer tour a few years back where they made friends with the rich and famous, Ice Motherfuckin T amongst others, if you weren’t there but heard about it, it was probably all true.
And now LIGHTYEAR are back, for just 5 shows. If they’re not in your town, carpool, hitch, get the megabus, bunk the train, but be there. You will hear about it, and it’ll probably all be true!!
“We know this might raise a few chuckles. It’s been 15 years since Lightyear began. We started it to simply to have fun. We stopped it because it became not fun. We wanted to stay friends. But we ended up not even seeing each other really. We want to hang out with each other again. Soooo…… we are doing 5 dates in June. It would be wicked to see old and new friends. (we haven’t played our instruments in 6 years, So we might have improved)”
