Here's what founding GB member Walter Schreifels had to say about the rumors on his home page, UnitedByWalter.com.

It's going to be summer soon. Time for camping, baseball games, veggie hot dogs, cold PBR and steamy nights of rock 'n' roll. What better soundtrack than the Gorilla Biscuits?

A dream no one ever imagined would come true.... actually is: the soundtrack to years of our lives will be coming live to a stage near you soon. That's right UBWer's.. you've been reading rumors, but this is the first website to officially announce an August GB tour in the USA. This was confirmed by Walter this morning.

This tour will celebrate the reissue of Gorilla Biscuits classic "Start Today", which will feature in depth liner notes written by Walter himself. It will also feature a DVD of the CBGB's reunion show from 08/05. Oh one more super cool item: there will be a souvenir 7" available at the shows....

Also, Walter will be hitting the road in June/July rocking his solo jams in the midwestern portion of the US.

During the recent Walking Concert tour, Walter was able to sneak in some solo acoustic sets. One of which was recorded in Germany for radio broadcast. Visit the UBW message board for download details.... The sound quality is aces, and the performance is magical.

As always, hit me up with scoops, gifts and insights... mywar@unitedbywalter.com

I am going to attempt to schedule another Walter chat soon to get the skinny on all of the upcoming fun. . . . . stay tuned . . . .
