Hey, does anybody read this thing outside of New York? I recently got a mail from one of my favorite NYC bands, D-tuned riff-core masters Goes Cube, who are soon going back out on the road. The trio asked nicely:

We're going to put "Goes Cube Song 50" up on our MySpace page tomorrow. But we're also going to announce some news about our upcoming tour + recording. Would you be able to have the LimeWire Music Blog post "Goes Cube Song 50" and perhaps a snippet of the news?

Let me know, and thanks!

And so, i will! Or just have. Mind you, "tomorrow" was over a week ago at this point, but "Goes Cube Song 50" is on their MySpace page for your listening pleasure. Goes Cube Songs 58-63 are slated to be recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis (Hold Steady, Bouncing Souls, Casualties, Foreign Islands, Sick of it All, etc.). And the tour ships off May 30, with dates listed below.

But since I'm letting you know stuff about Goes Cube, why stop there? If you out there in the hinterlands happen to catch them live, blow their minds by already knowing that:

* Goes Cube are avid bowlers, visiting an alley on each stop of their tours. Drummer Kenny Appell is reportedly the best of the bunch, averaging in the 180s. And you know what they say: a band that bowls together, uh, … I got nothin'.

* There's a photo series on their MySpace page called "Goes Cube Jumping In Front of State Capitols." Yeah, sure, some of them are photoshopped. But most of them aren't.

* Their 10-day, mostly U.S. tour happens to be taking them, for the first time, to a Provincial Capitol, Toronto.

* They're also playing a "Lobsterfest."

Okay, rust belters, rock mavens, people unconcerned with hearing loss and others true to the cause, you know what to do. Here are the dates:


May 30 Pilam Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
May 31 Brillobox Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Jun 1 Sam's Saloon Indianapolis, Indiana
Jun 3 Soggy Dog House Lakewood (Cleveland), Ohio
Jun 4 Reverb at the Big Bop Concert Hall Toronto, Ontario
Jun 5 Double OO Pub Redford, Michigan
Jun 6 Carabar w/ Necropolis Columbus, Ohio
Jun 7 Lobsterfest @ The Union w/ Necropolis Athens, Ohio
