The Blind Melon guys are about to leave the US for a short tour in South America.
“… I’ve been looking forward to this ever since we found out about it…” wrote Travis Warren on his facebook page. Blind Melon will be playing 3 shows: the first one in Buenos Aires, Argentina and then two shows in Chile. As a gift to the fans there, Brad Smith has made 3 shakers he is going to throw at each one of the shows.

July 29, 2011: Buenos Aires, Argentina @ Niceto Club
July 30, 2011 : Santiago, Chile @ Teatro Caupolican
July 31, 2011 : Concepcion, Chile @ Sur Activo

Blind Melon is playing tonight at the Hiro Ballroom in New York. They played the same venue 3 years ago with a bunch of very special guests: Jena Kraus, Danny Clinch and Tennessee Tuckness. Tickets are still available here.

The guys will also be playing the Uncle Sam Jam festival in Oxon Hill, MD the day after with The Wailers and the Pat McGee Band.
