news....

So to recap.
Boysetsfire was a band for over 12 years. We played basements, clubs, and sometimes huge fields with tents in them. We recorded four full-length records, some eps, and one official self-released seven inch.
We accomplished way more than we ever deserved. US tours, European tours, Australia. A band from Delaware playing in Australia? Come on. Don’t be silly.
So the time for parting come to an end. We had decided with heads held high to proudly kill what what we had created and to let it die with dignity, aplomb, and in good memory. Most specifically, it was a retirement party. Not a sad forced retirement but a happy one filled with nostalgia and contentment as we sit back and watch younger upstarts with mascara smeared countenances carry the torch we had lit over a decade ago.
Would have worked out fine.
But then I fell. It hurt a lot. Still does.
I missed the last tour so I think we all feel that the final chapter wasn’t quite pencilled in.
So the rumors are true.
We are doing one last tour in Europe to say a proper good-bye to all our friends in that great continent.
Shows are being confirmed as we speak.
The tour runs from May 11- May 19.
We also need a practice area for a couple days prior to the tour if anyone can help us out.
Thanks.
Kisses.

we are still working on a final philly show, prolly in may. let you know!
