Helmet: Fall Tour Dates

SEEING EYE DOG OUT SEPTEMBER 7; TOUR STARTS SEPTEMBER 8 IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

Helmet

Seminal rock band Helmet has just announced they will hit the road September 8--one day after the September 7 release of their new full- length album Seeing Eye dog. Seeing Eye Dog marks the band’s first release since 2006’s critically acclaimed Monochrome and first on indie Work Song label (with physical distribution by Redeye and direct-to-fan digital delivery by Topspin). The new album is also being paired with a bonus disc of live material recorded at the Vans Warped Tour in San Francisco 2006.

Launching in Sacramento, CA September 8, the tour will take Helmet--vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Page Hamilton, drummer Kyle Stevenson, guitarist Dan Beeman and bassist Dave Case--to the U.S. and Canada, wrapping up in Los Angeles November 5. Immediately after, Helmet will head to Europe for a string of dates.

On a limited availability basis, tickets for the North American dates go on sale today, Tuesday, July 20 at www.helmetmusic.com. The purchase of a U.S. show ticket will also include a free digital download (one download per order) of the new album for a flat price of $24, only when purchased via the band’s website.

Also available now, Helmet fans can sign up for three free preview tracks: “Seeing Eye Dog” and live tracks, "Milquetoast" and “Tic.” For those who purchase any package of Seeing Eye Dog via the band’s website before the September 7 release date, they’ll also receive the album’s expansive song “LA Water” in advance.

In an effort to offer fans multiple options, Seeing Eye Dog is available in five separate purchase options. Further information on these options can be found at www.helmetmusic.com.
