The band's management at Gold Mountain Top has confirmed an arena tour for the fall beginning with a "home" date at Madison Square Garden on October 16. The tour will be handled by Live Nation Concerts in the United States and AEG Live in Canada. Washington based IMP will be promoting Washington DC's stop at the Verizon Center October 21. A rather tongue in cheek but ecstatic IMP head honcho Seth Hurwitz spoke with Pollstar Editor in Chief Tony Bongiovi: "We're proud to be associated with the Pizza Underground. Based on the feedback we've been receiving from our industry insiders DC is starving for another slice of the Pizza." A Pizza Underground show at a popular under the radar punk club, the Black Cat, sold out in minutes and a groundswell quickly developed for another concert. Initially DAR Constitution Hall was considered but capacity constraints led to making the jump to Verizon.
An advertisement campaign with Papa John's was also confirmed to be in the works with ads starring Culkin and his pizza loving cohorts expected to debut during the Super Bowl broadcast.
Pizza Underground's album arrives Feb. 4 on the band?s own Pizza Slice imprint. Be sure to check out the official Pizza Underground website as well as the band?s Facebook page, Twitter feed and YouTube channel.
