But you won’t have to wait until the fall to see Vintage Trouble headline a room.  The band is playing a few gigs in between AC/DC dates.  You can catch them at The Fonda in Los Angeles Aug. 12; Higher Ground in So. Burlington, Vt., Aug. 29; Port City Music Hall in Portland, Maine, Sept. 1; Mill City Nights in Minneapolis Sept. 12; Lincoln Hall in Chicago Sept. 13 and Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Ore., Sept. 23.  The group will also appear at the Afro-Punk Festival in Brooklyn, N.Y., Aug. 23.

Vintage Trouble launches its newly announced headlining tour Oct. 1, just a few days after it concludes its adventure with AC/DC at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium Sept. 28.

TV is also in the cards.  Vintage Trouble is booked for “Late Night With Seth Meyers” July 29 and will visit the ladies of “The View” July 30.

There is a new album amidst all the mileage.  The band’s Blue Note Records debut – 1 Hopeful Rd. – arrives Aug. 14.  You can pre-order the disc right now.   Go ahead, we’ll wait.  Especially since pre-ordering gives you access to a special ticket pre-sale launching later this week.  More on that in a minute.
