WEHRMACHT 'NORTHEAST SHARK ATTACK' TOUR AUGUST 2013


Glorious Times proudly announces that the first ever east coast 
tour of thrash/crossover legends WEHRMACHT will take place 
in August of 2013

Formed in Portland in 1985 Wehrmacht quickly gained a large 
underground following and were soon signed to New Renaissance 
Records. Their debut "Shark Attack" is widely considered a 
landmark album which still continues to influence bands some 26
years later. They shared the stage on the west coast with other 
innovators like Cryptic Slaughter, The Accused, Possessed and
Slayer. A followup ("Biermacht") was released on New 
Renaissance, but still they played only on the west coast despite a
fast growing fan base. Despite achieving world wide acclaim in the 
underground the band soon broke up and its members continued 
on in various other music projects.
     
Toward the end of 2008 the former members of Wehrmacht 
started getting the itch to play together again and began having
discussions about the possibility of a reunion. Quietly, the band
reformed and began again playing shows in their hometown of
Portland, OR. Soon after the reunion FOAD Records (Italy) 
approached the band to reissue their 2 classic albums with bonus 
materials. To support the reissues FOAD brought the band to a 
sold-out tour in Europe in 2010. The band returned home from 
Europe and continued to sporadically play shows in their 
hometown. 2011 saw the band play at Mexico's legendary Hell &
Heaven Fest. In 2012 Wehrmacht gained some newly found vigor
and began to write new material and play shows with a greater 
frequency. Late 2012 saw them share the stage with Napalm 
Death. This performance would have Mitch and Barney from 
Napalm Death join Wehrmacht on stage for the classic "Night of 
Pain". As 2012 grew to an end the band made plans for their first 
trip to California in 25 years. The highlight of their tour was a 
sold-out crowd at Hollywood's Key Club at which Scott Peterson
(Cryptic Slaughter) joined the band on stage for a rendition of the 
Cryptic Slaughter classic "Money Talks".
    
 Back in Portland after a successful tour the band had the itch 
to play more shows outside of Oregon and were soon planning
shows in Washington state. They  also had talks of a return trip to 
Europe and possibly Mexico. This period also brought about talks
of coming east for the first time. A few brief discussions were held 
with Glorious Times about a possible east coast mini-tour and 
within a short period 6 cities were chosen to host the band on this 
momentous outing.

August 21 - Buffalo, NY (The Forvm)
August 22 - Cleveland, OH (Now That's Class)
August 23 - Pittsburgh, PA (Belvedere's), part of Skullfest
August 24 - Baltimore, MD (venue tba)
August 25 - Brooklyn, NY (Saint Vitus Bar)
August 26 - Philadelphia, PA (Kung Fu Necktie)
