The world’s only Nedal band, Okilly Dokilly have announced their ‘Tourdilly Do ‘22’ U.S. run for April through May of next year — all dates are listed below. Following the romp, the band will be going on indefinite hiatus, with members taking some time to focus on family and other projects.
Here’s more on the impending foray via a presser, “The “Tourdilly Do ’22” tour will take the place of the previously rescheduled ‘When the Comet Gets Here’ tour with shows occurring across the Midwest and Eastern US from April to May of 2022. Joining as special guests will be Medford, Oregon’s partycore rockers Steaksauce Mustache.”
Lead singer, Head Ned comments about the band’s history, “When we started OKILLY DOKILLY, our goal was to play maybe 2 shows. We imagined being the 3rd or 4th band on a 7 band metal show. We would step out in our sweaters and confuse the 12 or 13 people in attendance, and then have a great story. Things turned out a little differently.”
Head Ned adds, “OKILLY DOKILLY did way more than I ever expected. I’m really grateful for all the people who have been part of it. And especially to everyone who came out to our shows to say howdilly doodilly. We’ve been touring pretty relentlessly since 2016 and, last year, I became a dad. So it’s time for a break. It’s time for me to shave off the Ned mustache and grow the dad mustache.”
The ‘Tourdilly Do ‘22’ outing will serve as a ‘farewell’ tour for Okilly Dokilly, as the guys are unsure whether or not the hiatus will remain permanent. Regarding the band’s future, Head Ned ends with, “We just want to let everyone know that we won’t be touring or making any new music in the next few years. I’m not sure if or when we’ll be back, but for now, it’s ‘toodilly do’.”
