The Aristocrats' second album, tentatively titled Culture Clash is being targeted for a July 16 release.

Guitarist Guthrie Govan is touring with Steven Wilson this spring, and it's just been announced that bassist Bryan Beller and drummer Marco Minneman will tour with Joe Satriani in the UK and Europe from May 15 through July 14 (the Satch band is rounded out by keyboardist/guitarist Mike Keneally). The Aristocrats' Culture Clash Summer 2013 tour is scheduled to start July 17. Venue are still being booked.

They are playing in NYC on 8/1 but the venue is unknown at this point. I will try and see them if I can.

PIttsburgh on 8/6 is the same - I actually sent them a list of venues that might be appropriate.

DVD preview is available at guitarplayer.com. Preorders should be available on the Aristocrats' store site in about two weeks, but they will have the new disc on their tour appearances. The preview sounds damn good.

Yep, watched it yesterday...good stuff. I have a ticket to see them on Aug 1st at the Highline Ballroom.

This will be getting a general release on July 30th, so I've added Amazon links for both editions to the first post.

Thanks Linda!
