Okilly Dokilly Announces Spring 2020 When The Comet Gets Here Tour Dates and Shares New Song “Slaughterhouse”

Phoenix-based “nedal” band Okilly Dokilly released “Slaughterhouse” a few weeks ago, and now they have announced their spring 2020 tour dates promoting their upcoming album, When The Comet Gets Here. The band is often referred to as nedal, as the band’s lyrics and performances are themed around Ned Flanders, a character from The Simpsons.

“Slaughterhouse” was released as a single from last year’s Howdilly Twodilly sessions in order to promote the upcoming album. The song, like many other songs by the band, is comprised mainly of Ned Flanders quotes. Says the Head Ned about the tune, “‘Slaughterhouse,’ at its core, is a song about gratitude, and us Neds sure do have a lot of gratitude for all the Neighborinos who came to our shows last year,”

When The Comet Gets Here will be the band’s first album since the release of Howdilly Twodilly in March of last year. “We’re exci-diddly-ited to announce the ‘When The Comet Gets Here Tour,’” stated the Head Ned. “The apocalypse may be looming over us, like a drooling Homer over a box of donuts, but that’s no reason to lose all hope. Some hope, but not all hope. So grab your green sweater and what remaining hope you have left and come rage with us Neds. End times are always better as Ned times.”

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
