"Usually really easy to book, but I guess the tables turned this time," that's record-breaking, Jinx-collaborating Samurai Shotgun frontman Mateo Henley (aka Prince Golden) talking to CL about a new batch of dates his band is about to embark on alongside fellow Tampa natives Bangarang, Rising Down and the 79 Sorcery collective.
They're calling it the Four Horsemen Tour, and will have DJ Wally Clark along for select dates, but for now they want to fill those Empire State holes in the schedule
"We're waiting to hear back for some Brooklyn dates," Henley added, when asked about the difficulties surrounding booking your the tour, which stops in Atlanta, Knoxville, Asheville, Richmond and Baltimore. "[It] just takes time, research, connects, and patience."
