Our buddies at Bigmouth Bookings keep shit busy in their offices…a couple months ago they announced Confession’s tour with Thailand’s Annalynn and today they’ve announced Xibalba’s tour with Singapore’s Losing End. In both cases, we at UniteAsia.org are more excited about seeing the support acts then the headlining band. Which could mean the beginning of a really powerful turning point for Asia…could it be that we’re SOON going to gett to the point that Asian bands will start headlining their own tours with other Asian bands as support acts? Booking agents will be watching to see if that’s the case – because booking agents really have to think about what tours are going to do well before they put all their effort into organizing and promoting those tours. If it’s the case that Asian bands are getting the same if not more excitement then overseas international acts – woah – shit’s going to get REAL in Asia…guess who that all depends on? You – the audience.
Here’s to hoping…
Here’s Bigmouth Booking’s own press release statement for this particular tour:
“Yes! You fucking heard it, Xibalba is back for the second time. Having previously toured South East Asia back in 2013, these Californian heavy hardcore outfit are now back with their new album “Tierra Y Libertad” which was released by Southern Lord Recordings. This time, Singapore’s “Losing End” will also be tagging along with them on several dates of the tour. For those of you who missed them back in 2013, now is the fucking time to catch them live.”
