Chicago’s Smoking Popes haven’t even embarked on their Midwest Simmer Fest 2 tour, and now they’ve got some more dates announced for January. We already knew they’d be on the west coast USA to open for MxPx on 06 Jan, but now it looks like their taking advantage of their location to spend some time in the warmer locales for winter. Apparently I must smell, because they’re not making their way up to the SF/Bay Area…
The Dreaded Laramie will be on-hand for all the gigs except the MxPx one, and Fea, Mercy Music, and Bad Cop/Bad Cop also show up at points.
Take a look a the new tour poster below and, underneath, the Midwest Simmer Fest 2 poster. Visit the Smoking Popes official website for ticket links and more.

the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
