Tours: Pennywise / Strike Anywhere / A Wilhelm Scream (Europe)

Pennywise After the Groezrock festival in Belgium concludes, Pennywise, Strike Anywhere and A Wilhelm Scream will stay in Europe for a few more weeks of shows.

Pennywise continue to support 2008’s Reason to Believe, though it’s unclear who will be handling vocal duties for this tour, as the band has yet to name a permanent replacement for departed vocalist Jim Lindberg (Ignite frontman Zoli Teglas had been filling in for the band’s recent performances, but it’s unconfirmed if he’ll be on this tour). Strike Anywhere will be supporting 2009’s Iron Front and A Wilhelm Scream will be supporting their 2009 eponymous EP.

In other A Wilhelm Scream news, the band will be shooting a video for “Australias” at an upcoming show on February 13 at the Nomad Art Compound in Los Angeles, CA. Joining them on that show (as well as on a show the day before at Thee Parkside in San Francisco) will be Heartsounds.
