Hey guys,
I know you’ve been waiting patiently for Pompeii to tour the United States again and I know it won’t be the same experience as the full band, but I wanted to let you know I’ll be out on the road for the next couple of weeks with my good friends in For Hours and Ours. I’m scheduled to play a few select solo shows, but if you show up to ANY of the shows at all, I’ll do my best to play whatever Pompeii song(s) you’d like to hear! Even if it’s in a parking lot or out on a lawn. If you live in a town where a house show is taking place, simply message me on Facebook and/or Twitter and I’ll give you the address. Below are the dates:

Dean
