The latest project from the decaying minds of the Ska is Dead peeps comes this spring (if winter ever ends, that is) with The Young Guns 2011 Tour--featuring some of the best, new(ish) American ska bands on the scene--with Detroit’s We Are the Union and New York City’s The Forthrights as co-headliners. Supporting bands along the way include Nashville's Stuck Lucky (4/15-4/22), Boston's Brunt of It (4/23-4/28), Long Island’s The Fad (4/19-4/27), and Indiana's Green Room Rockers (4/13 & 5/1) among others.

On a selfish note, I'm a bit bummed that this tour doesn't actually hit any of New York City's five boroughs...I gotta go to the 'burbs?!? I spent the first 18 years of my life trying to escape them!
