endlesssummerohio asked: Hey, are you guys playing Alive Festival this summer? I've already decided that the only way I'm going is if you guys show up. Don't let that pressure you, or totally let that pressure you.

No pressure on us!  Alive did not book House of Heroes this year unfortunately, so we will not be there.  Sorry.

Anonymous asked: hey, is there any update on the shows between ohio and nyc? or not yet?

It doesn’t look like we will be able to make any of those shows happen this time around…  But the more shows the merrier, so if anyone wants to bring us in, as always hit up hohtour@gmail.com
