FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The DDC 2012 Fall Tour starts today! We’re telling our story at the Portland Digital Experience conference, kickin’ shit off at 1pm at the Left Bank! And this show, it’s the beginning of SIXTEEN dates all over the states, and hell, world!

Get a (down)load of this list: PORTLAND > NEW YORK CITY > SALT LAKE CITY > MEMPHIS > MEMPHIS > NASHVILLE > IOWA CITY > CEDAR RAPIDS > CEDAR FALLS > BROOKLYN > BUFFALO > PORTLAND > CHICAGO > SAN DIEGO > BELFAST > STOCKHOLM > RAPID CITY

We’ve got some tall tales to share and some halfwit sentiment to fumble through, and will approach each gig as if it were our last! We’re going for broke, and today’s just the start of it. We’ve done 22 shows up to this point this year or something, and after a mean summer on the Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard, we’re ready to get back out there and meet some people.

Shit starts today here in Portland! 1pm at the Left Bank!

WE MADE A “TOUR ONLY” TORSO COVER FOR THE DEAL: We contacted a TRUSTED heavy metal source of the HIGHEST CALIBER, one Orion Landau to get us in touch with an illustrator who could handle such a heavy load. Orion handed me off to AyeJay and we made magic. We inked a deal and the kid started producing minutes later. Thank you, buddy. Helluva job!

I mean, shit, I’ll never be in a band, and this fuckin’ tour is about as close as it’s gonna get for now, so shit, we had to do a tour t-shirt. Using terms like “load in” with a big toothy grin out there!

And we did. Two-color to start and eight-color as the tour gets rolling! Wait until you see this pile of shit in the full color glory? Nutty.

Thank you to AyeJay and Orion and Relapse Records Dept. of Art and Sizzle Pie and Matt Jacobson and Mikey and the color “black.” We made these shirts as evil as we could, and we hope the dark forces of the night take you into it’s deadly arms and eviscerate yer guts or something. You know, metal shit?

TOMORROW: We’ll be in New York City (a city on the eastern seaboard of the United States), telling our story to the Brand New Conference! We go on at 5:20 in the PM. Sharp, too! Pretty blown away to be able to attend, and hell, speak. The Massimo Vignelli is speaking, and we’ll be at FULL ATTENTION for that talk. Wow.
