Tour News ? Pepper hits the road on second leg of Here Comes the LAW tour
Fresh off a round of U.K. tour dates with Less Than Jake, Pepper is back in America to prepare for the second leg of its LAW Records “Here Comes the LAW Tour.”
Launching in the early part of January, this turn will take the Hawaiian-bred, Southern California-based veteran touring band through the western half of the country. Joining Pepper on tour are LAW Records label mates Passafire from Savannah, Ga., and The Supervillains from West Palm Beach, Fla.
The shows — which support the band’s current album Pink Crustaceans And Good Vibrations — commence Jan. 2, 2009, in San Diego and take Kaleo Wassman (vocals/guitars), Bret Bollinger (bass/vocals) and Yesod Williams (drums) through 19 markets in the southwest and along the Pacific coast.
