Changes To Europe Dates

October 29th, 2009 | By Saint Alvia

Hi Everyone, so a few small changes to the European tour have just come through.  It means that unfortunately, there won’t be a show in Ljubjlana, Slovenia on Friday November 13.  But in better news… the two shows that were listed as TBC are now confirmed and we’re happy to say that they will take place in Milan, Italy on Nov. 14, and Gottingen, Germany on Nov. 24.

Check our tour page for all the most updated show information.

The countdown is on and we’re stoked to get over to EU and play!

Exclaim Blog Continues In Europe

October 28th, 2009 | By Saint Alvia

Hi everyone,

So we’ve decided to extend Ben’s tour blog he did for Exclaim during the Bouncing Souls run across Canada. Now he’s doing it all over again as he travels to Europe with Saint Alvia. This is his first ever trip to Europe, so he’s planning on making it count, and he’ll be sharing all the details via the Saint Alvia Exclaim Blog.

Stay tuned, and be sure to click the banner below and add that URL to your bookmarks. Check in often… this time he’s promised to send pictures back too.

It should be epic.
