Pessimist Touring Woes

Nov 3, 2002 at 10:31 PM by deathbringer (Source: Pessimist).

After battling van problems 3 days into the tour, Pessimist was able to get back on the road to complete the East Coast dates with REFLUX. Due to Bassist/Vox Reaper having to leave the tour, and the band suffering from financial setbacks, the decision was made to postpone the rest of the tour.

The band looks to complete the US Tour the Winter/Spring of 2003.
