Zeroscape tour: Rock'n'Roll credentials 1, common sense 0
holliy by holliy March 6th, 2005
Canadian band Zeroscape's current and first UK tour is somewhat out of the ordinary.

Canada's not an easy place to be a band, especially when you want to tour. It's too big, the drive between venues takes too long, it's quite simply a daunting prospect.

Zeroscape's answer? They've sold all their equipment, quit their jobs and come over to Britain on a six month visa in order to tour their arses off until the visa runs out and they get kicked out of the country. Living solely on what merchandise they can sell and sleeping in the back of a hired van, their dedication to the cause alone would make them more worthy than most of your attention. When you take into account the fact that their intense, melodic and driven rock/reggae/metal/hip hop live show is a genre-defying cut above the norm, seeing them on their absurdly comprehensive - and frankly daft tour - becomes a must-do.

So, where can you catch up with them? Why, at the times and places below:

MARCH
8th London Push
11th Kent Stripes
12th Worcester TBA
13th London Dublin Castle
16th Rhyl Bar Blu
17th London Boston Arms
19th Preston The Mitre
24th Prestatyn Offa's
25th Wakefield The Snooty Fox
26th Cwmbran The Oasis
28th York Certificate
29th London Barfly
30th Exeter Three Fat Fish
31st Hertford Marquee

APRIL
6th London The Garage
8th Chatham Tap'N'Tin
9th Rainham Oasthouse
16th Stoke Talbot
18th ManchesterThe Music Box
22nd London The Ruskin Arms
23rd Chorley TBA
26th Saxmundham White Hart Hotel (where?! - Ed.)
29th Nuneaton The Nags' Live Venue
30th Wakefield Tut'N'Shive

It might be an idea to take a food parcel for Zeroscape with you or offer them somewhere to sleep. Thanks!
