There have been tons of tour announcements over the past few days so I thought I’d round up a few of the interesting tours I’ve seen that you need to keep on your radar. Perhaps the biggest news if you’re a fan of the untz jamtronica scene is that the original lineup for Particle will be returning for shows in October.
Particle has announced that they will reunite with original guitarist Charlie Hitchcock for a select number of shows to celebrate the band’s 10-year anniversary. This is the first time in five years that Hitchcock has joined the band on tour, and fans can expect to hear all the Particle classics, as well as new material.
If you remember, Charlie and the band didn’t really part all that amicably so let’s hope there are no meltdowns on stage. Read on for the dates…

10/6/10 – San Diego, CA – Winstons
