The tour began on May 2nd 2015 with its first destination of Phoenix AZ, and ended in Los Osos CA on July 12th, 72 days, 18000-plus miles, 30 states and 44 shows later.<!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>In the process, Night Demon played a wild variety of venues in towns big, small and obscure. A majority of these shows were headline gigs, and a handful were done as a support act for bigger touring\/hometown acts. <\/p>\n<p>The tour witnessed further development of the band&#8217;s live show, with an expansion of the set list through previously unplayed songs off of the debut full-length album &#8216;Curse Of The Damned&#8217;, and the addition of new stage props. But most importantly, the band impressed one and all whenever and wherever they took the stage, not leaving a single attendee disappointed or underwhelmed, and established a stronghold in every corner of the country for regular touring in the future. <\/p>\n<p>In case you missed any of the stories from the road that were posted in the &#8216;Return Of The Demon&#8217; tour blog series, catch up with it in sequence and in full here.
