FILTER Set to Kick Off 1st Tour in Nearly Six Years, April 24, in Austin, Texas
As they prepare to release their new CD ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED May 13 via Pulse Recordings, FILTER have announced their first tour in nearly six
years. The first leg of this U.S. trek--a mix of headlining shows, radio festivals and special engagements--begins April 24 at Stubb's in Austin, Texas, to be followed by three June shows overseas in Germany and the U.K. Earlier this month, FILTER made a special appearance for the troops in Kuwait when they performed at the March 10 Operation MySpace concert.

While on tour, FILTER will preview songs from ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED alongside such FILTER classics as "Hey Man, Nice Shot," "Take a Picture" and others. ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED--produced by Pulse Recording head Josh Abraham--features the first single "Soldiers of Misfortune". PATRICK describes the soaring anthem--with its U2/Bowie flavor and stacked backdrop of buzzing electric guitars--as a "sardonic anti-war/pro-troops song." The first-person narrative was inspired by a letter from a FILTER
fan who had enlisted in the Army reserves to get his college tuition paid; in his final year of college, he was shipped off to Iraq where he died from a rocket attack and small arms fire after just a few days of duty.
Catch FILTER live at the following shows and look for more tour dates to be announced in the near future. Also check out www.officialfilter.com and http://www.myspace.com/filter1.
