Original members Tim Singer and Thom Rusnak... have finally found the missing components, adding Alex Miller (of Triplehorn) on guitar and Thom's longtime friend and band mate, Neal Witmer on drums. West coast dates including the Revelation Records 25th anniversary are scheduled for this June. Kiss It Goodbye is slated to tour Europe in September and are working on dates for the east coast, Japan, Australia and South East Asia later this year.

Backtrack, who play United Blood this weekend, will headline a show with Urban Blight, Creem, Violent Future at Acheron on April 6th. Backtrack will undoubtedly bring the ruckus, but make sure and get there early to catch the also awesome Urban Blight and Creem. The show jumps off at 11PM.
