Every band tour should have a great send-off party. Now imagine two very cool local bands getting together for a double blast. This is gonna be great.

Two Austin Music Minute faves are partnering up for what promises to be an epic East Coast tour:  The ultra-fabulous rock/pop quintet Bobby Jealousy (it’s not a stretch to say “pants optional” when referring to their outrageously fun, high-octane live performances – hello, Seth Gibbs), and guitar-jangly mega-indie popsters Shivery Shakes. To say this will be an interesting tour is an understatement. On top of that, guitarist and vocalist William Glossup will be on double duty because he plays in both bands – he formed Shivery Shakes after his last band, The Bubbles, called it a day.

The itinerary shows that these crazy kids have twenty-two show dates ahead of them, with stops in Nashville, Chicago, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Spectacular times. And before heading out, Shivery Shakes and Bobby Jealousy are throwing a grand tour kickoff show Tuesday night at Red 7, 611 E. 7th St. They’ve invited some great bands to play the party:  Burgess Meredith, Jason Ludwig, The Couch, Hollows, BOY, and Oh No Oh My. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Let’s send them off with lots of good vibes. Here’s to a great tour, peeps.
