The positively brilliant Omegas (Montreal) are readying for a handsome US/CANADA tour. Having been present at one of their shows I can honestly exclaim that it’d be foolish of you to not go if they play near you. So mind the tour dates below, after the jump. Haven’t heard Omegas yet? Check out the links on top of the tour dates. Also peep my older tumblr post about the band and Mr. Cooks odd yet favorable findings regarding their flawless Sonic Order. Mind you, Sonic Order easily found its way onto my top 10 for the best 2010 had to offer. Indeed. Now I just have to magically find Blasts Of Lunacy in my hands because the two tracks already streaming on line are certified bangers.

Press:

Montreal’s Omegas released their debut LP “Blasts of Lunacy” last month on Parts Unknown Records. A European version of the LP is in the works through Hardware Records. May 2011 sees them hit the road on a tour down towards Austin, Texas for show dates at the Chaos in Tejas festival and then back up the east cost.
