    The web site needs to be nuked because you would think for a band seeking to expand their exposure and inform people of tour dates they'd have the dates listed on their own website...nothing!
    shame on me for taking time out to visit the band's very own website looking for tour information..check it out, nothing is listed. http://www.pineapplethief.com/tour/
    I guess they think most people will go to Facebook first..d'oh!

    oh really, Facebook before a band's website? the world really has gone Fugazi...
    but I think it would be quite easy to list the tour dates/cities on both pages, eh?

    If you don't have control of your own website, it might take time to get someone to put that information up for you. Facebook, on the other hand, just takes a moment.

    And if you're not on Facebook, you might want to consider just for the idea that you can "like" a bunch of artist/group/event pages so that any time there is news, it will post in your feed. That's a lot easier these days than routinely going to their websites to find out information.
    WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.

    Thank you PY...I am an old progger, I don't have Instagram or Twitter and I use an old flip phone(beam me up Scotty) and a band's website used to be the first tier to find information.
    I do use Facebook(kicking and screaming) and am friends with some bands like Saga,Sadler, Glass Hammer, Dave Kerzner, Nektar and a few others.
    My point was I think the band dropped the ball by not having the tour info on their Band site, that's a no brainer to me.
    I appreciate your explanation and it helps me understand a bit better but not completely.

    The opening page has a video..page 2 is the Tour page...this is all I get on the tour page.
    Maybe I'm missing something, did a refresh but this is still all I get, thanks for checking tho.
