Cattle Decapitation will embark on a month long tour titled “The California Blood Tour.” Son of Aurelius will provide support along with Devourment, Knights of the Abyss, and Burning the Masses.
Cattle Decapitation frontman Travis Ryan comments: “We’ve had this idea for a tour that was mostly comprised of California bands for quite a while now. I don’t know, there was just something about the term ‘California love’ (popularized by Tupac Shakur) that never quite sat right with us so we came up with something a little more fitting, considering the level of brutality that California has always had under its belt. From the seedy sewers in the big cities to the ‘Cowshwitz’ communities of central CA to the inhospitable depravity of the dry desert, we decided it was time to show the rest of the US that CaliGOREnia is not just about hippies, silicone bodies and marijuana dispensaries (not that there’s anything wrong with that, haha!)”

Is Jessie Freeland of The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza the long lost son of Tony Danza? They bear a striking resemblance to each other, just check out the nose!
Lets look at the facts:
1. Jessie was born in 1980, during the peak popularity of “Taxi,” starring Tony Danza. Tony could have been on a promotional tour through Tennessee at the time.
2. On Tony Danza’s short lived daytime show, he answered a “fan” submitted email asking if he had heard of The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. He kind of skirted around the answer, possibly already aware of Jessie’s band.
3. Tony once again appeared on TV on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson discussing Jessie’s band. Is this is subtle way of reaching out to his potential kin?
Still curious? Go see The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza on the “Over the Limit” tour this summer and ask Jessie yourself!
