Madison, Sat, Feb 2/13 - The Frequency w/ Wife, and Thunderunderus
Minneapolis, Fri, 2/19 - The Triple Rock Social Club w/ Sirens Of Titan, The Rockford Mules, and God Came From Space
Milwaukee, Fri, 2/26 - Y Not 3 w/ Bzy Bodies, and Death Dream
In the meantime, the reviews are rolling in... and it is good:
"Because of it`s lighthearted approach and riffy goodtime vibes it would be easy to gloss over DROIDS ATTACK`s third full-length, Must Destroy (Crustacean Records), as a kind of joke release. Song titles like `The Great Wall of ‘Gina,` `Astro Glider,` `The Unforgiven 4` and `Koko Beware,` while hilarious, support the position. But there’s more to the Madison, WI trio than goofy lyrics and a robot mascot (although, in many cases, that would probably be enough). They seriously rock."
- JJ Koczan, TheObelisk.net/StonerRock.com
"You’re not likely to get more bluesy riffs and swagger on any other album this year. DROIDS ATTACK have again pushed all the right buttons, when it comes to my love for big, classy riffs and Must Destroy will probably end up on my next, horribly disfigured `year end best of list` as a result of their groovy prowess."
- Jay Snider, Hellride.com
"With nine songs coming in at just under thirty-nine minutes, Must Destroy is a heavier than god riff fest from start to finish, with groove heavy guitar hooks that keep you interested and wanting more."
- Scot Shoemaker, Pro-rock.com
"Sweet. That’s the word that escapes the lips not a minute into Must Destroy, a meaty slice of stoner rock from Wisconsin trio DROIDS ATTACK. And I tell you, it’s mostly due to the riff-factory that is singer/guitarist Brad Van."
- Patrick Slevin, The Aquarian
