Speedy Ortiz is seeking donations to raise funds for a van (and van insurance) for their 2012 summer tour (6/21/12 through 8/4/12).
VANS ACROSS AMERICA! Speedy Ortiz wants to bring our rock show to a city near you this summer, and we can't do that without a van! And hopefully a van with decent gas mileage since gas just might cost more than ever this year. But if we can bring the rock out on the road to you, it will be totally worth it!
Our plan is to tour between June 21st and August 4th. At the moment our itinerary will hopefully be including such faraway lands as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Chapel Hill, Asheville, Savannah, Tampa, Gainesville, Athens, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans, Houston, Austin, Denton, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland, Eugene, Portland, Olympia, Seattle, Spokane, Missoula, Salt Lake City, Boulder, Denver, Omaha, Iowa City, Minneapolis, Madison, Chicago, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and New York!
Thanks to everyone who's been listening to our music! <3
Also a lot of the content for our kickstarter video was pulled from Youtube. And so we graciously thank anyone who uploaded any live Speedy performances in the past 6 months. They really came in handy!
One final note regarding our rewards: The exclusive Sports EP cassettes are limited to the first 50 pledges who donate $25 or more. Thanks everyone!
