“Rock out this holiday season with TSO,” encourages the band in a statement. “We’re pulling out all the stops to make sure this winter tour is our best show in years. We can’t wait to be back together for the rock holiday tradition we all know and love.” TSO plans to get the most out of this holiday jaunt: in some places, they’re hitting multiple cities at the same time!

The tour takes off November 15th and will crisscross the US before winding down on December 30th in Columbus, OH, and St. Paul, MN.

Jelly Roll Was Amped to Finally Find His Own Album at Walmart

 

 

Jelly Roll took time out of his tour to hit up a Walmart in Arkansas, and see if he could actually find his album there this time.

 

 

A little context:  "Whitsitt Chapel" is the first time he's had a new album on shelves at Walmart.  So when it came out in June, he was excited to buy it there. 

 

 

The one he went to didn't have it though, and no one in the store even recognized him.  He joked that first trip broke his heart.

 

 

This trip went very differently, though.  They had dozens of copies and at least two sections devoted to just his album.  

 

 

His TikTok is full of swearing, so don't play it with kids around.  But it's fun to see him so excited.  A ton of fans asked for photos and autographs this time, too.

 

 

He ended up buying a CD, a copy on vinyl . . . and since he was there, a six-pack of lighters.

 (Warning:  The video includes profanities throughout.  He spots the album at 1:13 and finds more copies at 1:57.)

Memorabilia From Multiple Bands Auctioned Off For Animal Charity:

 Metal may sound harsh and challenging, but several bands have a soft spot for our furry friends. Animal Tracks Inc is a non-profit that helps animals rescued from poaching and trading, and animals retired from entertainment a chance to live out their lives in comfort and happiness. Usually too sick, injured, or old to be released into the wild, the California-based organization provides “a wonderful quality of life” for its animals. And now, several bands have stepped in to help keep Animal Tracks’ mission alive. Memorabilia from Avenged Sevenfold, Queens Of The Stone Age, Lamb Of God, and Exodus is up for auction to raise funds for the non-profit.
