Two separate interviews with DOWN conducted yesterday (Saturday, June 13) at the Download festival — which is being held June 12-14 at Donington Park, United Kingdom — can be viewed below. During a chat with NME TV, DOWN drummer Jimmy Bower revealed that the band will tour select U.S. markets with the MELVINS in August/September. The group will then return to the studio from October through December to record what will eventually become the fourth DOWN album, tentatively due in early 2010.

Hopefully, the next Down album will have better subject matter than Dime's death, Katrina and sobriety.

If it just says "Down" does that mean it's Down only? I hope so :aargh:

Lots of time to add dates....on the last time around, they added a Chicago one off show really late during the Metallica tour.

Since the Pearl Room is pretty much one step above a shit hole, I think I'll jump up on stage and shoot Phil.

This is the one where Bar Rat loses it and runs amok, Val. He broke up Pantera and I'm not letting him get away with it.

Whoa. WHOA.

There's definitely a line, Bar Rat, and you just crossed it. This is going too far.

The Mokena police will be waiting for me. They'll say "We got your bowl and weed last time. Aren't you a little old to be shooting singers on stage? Now hand over the gun and get out of here."

They would probably let you off easy after something like that.



VIP tickets $125.

I'm going to OKC at the Diamond Ballroom. This place is a piece of shit, hole in the wall western style dance hall with a trashy bar 60 yards away from it. Saw them there in '08 and it was the best show I've ever seen in my life. :tup:

I'd like to see Down tour the East coast with Murphy's Law and the Circle Jerks but who here will go see that?
