We are very excited to be heading out on tour again. As promised we will be hitting most of the cities we missed on the last tour. Sadly we cannot hit every town but we will do our best trying. Coming out on tour are fellow Alaskan’s Port O’Brien and New York’s The Dig. We expect this to be a fun tour. Thank you for all the moral support over the past few months, we are close to replacing a most of the gear and will have by the time.
We will shortly make an official announcement for the release of American Ghetto. This one is for you, we are not sending it to press and we are not sending it to radio. When all the finishing touches are complete we will make it available to everyone on the same day. OK, we will answer 2 questions right now…
1. Yes, it is an entire album, 11 songs
2. Yes, it is a slightly more electronic, beats, samplers, etc. album than The Satanic Satanist. Maybe not something for the casual listener but for those who have a most of our records we think you will love it.
Once again a huge thank you for all support. Without you there is no Portugal. The Man. See you on the Road. Make sure you say hello.
Love,
P.TM

Please come to California!! You guys with Port O’brien is something I have yearned and dreamed about for so long! To see both bands together at the Troubadour or somewhere in Santa Barbara would be one of the best musical experiences of a lifetime! Please consider my request you handsome Alaskans.

im saddened to see there is no seattle date on this tour. but im so so stoked for american ghetto. i remember when the satanic satanist was coming out and you guys talking about how it was more samples and loops much like Waiter You Vultures. and when i heard it, i didnt think it had enough programed parts! i have a feeling american ghetto is gonna be the album i’ve been waiting for. and it sounds like this is gonna be a free download??? if it gets a physical release i’d definitly buy it.

Goon Balloon//01.16.2010
oh my lord, you guys are coming to Cincinnati?! You guys have finally caved in and answered my prayers!
Everyone I know will be there! It will be epic, even for a sunday!
We will burn this city to the ground! Once you’ve played of course.
Sooooo excited. Now if you guys could just leak the new album…..I think all will be in its right place!
Casper//01.16.2010
Please come to Bellingham, WA! Have traveled multiple times to catch you around the Northwest and would be stoked to see you play in my home town. You’d be loved here, great college town hugging the border… hope you can make it sometime and I’ll see you wherever you play on this tour with many in tow.
Mathew//01.17.2010
Oh common! No Ontario or Quebec tour dates?! We’ve got snow, bears, and igloo’s to make you feel right at home. Excited to hear American Ghetto though, so your neglect of any Canadian cities on your tour will be temporarily forgiven.
Lewis//01.17.2010
heyyy, a mid-missouri date! fuck yeah. now march is gonna rule!!!
i still have to drive four hours… but it will be well worth the trip.
can’t wait for american ghetto.
