Dead Confederate + Meat Pups = Free 7”

Bands currently touring together.

By Fred Mills

Hot off a UK tour with Dinosaur Jr, BLURT faves Dead Confederate have just kicked off their co-headline tour with the Meat Puppets. It started last night in Tempe and will run through Oct. 24 in Athens. After that the band will hook up with A Place to Bury Strangers and All the Saints for dates running through early November.

Meanwhile, the band is offering a free digital 7": Dead Confederate's "The Rat" (Live from Laundromatinee.com) plus The Meat Puppets "Go To Your Head "(from Daytrotter's SXSW sessions)". We're not exactly sure how something in digital form can have seven inch dimensions, but what the hell, go here to get the tunes. All you'll have to do is provide some quick contact info for their mailing lists.
