After musically protesting the shit out of George Bush's State of the Union Address on the capitol building's lawn January 28th, Milemarker is preparing to embark on a month's worth of west coast tourdates in February. The tour will run through March 10th, and will feature a formidable foil and co-headliner in the form of the catastrophically cathartic Blood Brothers. What's more, the western jaunt features a stop at the oh-so-tasty Great American Noise Pop Show, which boasts such raucous greats as The Locust and Erase Errata.
