Dillinger Escape Plan has issued the following update about upcoming shows and a special basement performance:

"Ok so the upcoming schedule as of now with ticket links is as follows:

Feb 5th - Philly - The Barbary(SOLD OUT, MOTHERLICKERS)
Feb 6th - Baltimore - The Ottobar
Feb 7th - NYC - The Studio at Webster Hall

"Remember, these shows are NOT the biggest rooms in the world, so don't sleep on getting tickets early. Oh and Baltimore, so help me God if the Ottobar show isn't the unholy destructive force that you guys always make it, I'm gonna be majorly disappointed. It's a Friday night. Don't hold back.

"Now, for something that you deffffinitely haven't seen in a reaallllllly long time.... we are playing....on February 8th......in New Jersey.....IN A BASEMENT. That's right. We're playing a fucking BASEMENT SHOW. The location of which is going to be completely secret until a few days beforehand, when we'll announce the location. Maybe we'll announce it here, maybe we'll announce it on our messageboard, maybe it'll be spraypainted on an overpass on the NJ Turnpike, maybe Asian Steve will run naked across the field at Super Bowl halftime with a flag bearing the address, who knows. I CAN tell you that the maximum capacity of this actual house basement will probably be in the double digits. Obviously we'll cram in as many people as possible, and probably do a little barbecue too. We may start doing random intimate things like this in the middle of seemingly normal tours in the future,so be ready. If you're in Jersey and you wanna see some crazy shit go down and endanger your life, show up at your own risk.

"ANOTHER group of shows coming up, in addition to the Soundwave Festival dates in Australia, are two Soundwave offdates. They are:

........February 24th Sydney, AUS - The Forum
........February 25th Melbourne, AUS - The Esplanade

"Ok that about does it for today's goodies. Oh wait. It most certainly DOES NOT!!! Huh! How 'bout that? OH YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! '87 Hetfield might have to move over and make some room on the Pedastal Of Badassery for a little guy called '09 Ulrich. Hey Lars, remember that time when you wrote that gnarly fill in the break of Sad But True? You could have done some stupid jive assed roll or an out of place obnoxious and busy fill, hell you could have even used toms, but instead you just said fuck it and beat on the snare like a caveman? BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP.....BAP BAP BAP BAP BAP? Cause that's what sounded the most killer? Hot shit. Or the time in Fight Fire With Fire when the guitar solo ends and there is no other music whatsoever but you're like "oh hell no" and refuse to stop playing double bass, and you just ride that shit all the way through like a train full of motherfuck until James starts riffing again? Shit yeah! Or maybe how in the beginning of the Seattle '89 concert video, when you start hitting the snare for Blackened, it's oh, I don't know, like 700% louder than every other instrument in the band? That's what I'm talking about, baby. We love you too.

"Anyone that wants to call this Billy Rymer kid and tell him to huff one, make sure you read the end of the youtube video tags."
