KAYO DOT completes national tour

Boston metal/jazz/noise octet KAYO DOT have completed a 7-week
national tour of the US, returning home to Boston last week to play
the final show of the 46-date run. KAYO DOT played shows with a
diverse array of bands on the tour, including Starkweather, Mouth Of
The Architect, The Wayward, Gaza, and dozens more.

The Washington Post ran this review of KAYO DOT after the DC date on
the band's tour:

"Such contemporary art-metal groups as Kayo Dot treat heavy rock as a
sort of chamber music, emphasizing the power and precision of the
ensemble over individual expression... The music built to howling
climaxes in which grinding guitars and galloping drums combined into
an all-encompassing shriek... The effect resembled an orchestral
performance of Wagner or Grieg."

KAYO DOT vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Toby Driver made this
statement about the tour, and about KAYO DOT's plans for the near
future:

"We played with some awesome bands and generally had ourselves more
together this time around than last time. It was our second time out
as a band so we knew what to expect. We got an amazing response for
the new material. Next, we're going to do a few long weekends when
the album comes out in January."

KAYO DOT violinist Mia Matsumiya commented:

"Our most successful shows this time were definitely in Columbus,
Hattiesberg, Boise, LA, Denton, Miami, DC, and New York. Thanks so
much to everyone who supported us in any way, whether you set up any
of our shows, attended our shows, bought some merchandise, performed
with us, let us crash us at your place, hung out with us, fed us,
promoted us, flyered, anything!"

KAYO DOT's Robotic Empire debut full-length, "Dowsing Anemone With
Copper Tongue", hits stores January 10.
