KYNG Forced To Pull From Upcoming Tour With Clutch Due To An Auto Accident - Statement Available!

CLUTCH's first leg of the "Earth Rocker North American tour", begins on March 8th in Cincinnati, OH and runs through April 20th in Baltimore, MD. Support on the tour was supposed to come from Orange Goblin, Lionize and Kyng. Unfortunately, Kyng have been replaced by Scorpion Child since they had to pull out from the tour due to an accident that involved their bassist Tony Castanera. A statement from the band follows:

"Due to an unfortunate auto accident involving bass player Tony Castaneda, KYNG has to pull off their scheduled tour with Clutch, Orange Goblin and Lionize. The tour, scheduled to begin on Friday March 8th would've taken them coast to coast through April 20th will still move forward.

"This unforeseen accident sets back the band's plans for recording their Sophomore follow up to 'Trampled Sun' with with producer Jim Rota (Fireball Ministry, Sound City), and Andrew Alekel in LA this spring.

"Though Castenada's injury puts the band's scheduled touring plans on hiatus, they will continue working on their NEW album with a planned release for summer 2013."

 

We want to wish Tony a speedy recovery!
