Secret Chiefs 3 – Europe 2011
Trey Spruance and the Secret Chiefs 3 haven’t really swung around the U.S. since 2008 (Portland review link… from their last full US tour?). Lately South America and Europe are getting some love. While I’m bummed for no chance to see them as of late, I’m glad they’re active…
SECRET CHIEFS 3 Europe tour
from 16th June to 18th July 2011
Confirmed dates TBA
Booking contact : europe@webofmimicry.com
I think that’s also their first new press photo in a while. If my brain is working correctly, that’s (L-R) Jai Young Kim, Trey Spruance, Ches Smith, Toby Driver Rich Doucette, and Timb Harris. Will we see Book of Souls in 2011? Here’s hoping!!
