What's He Building In There? Announces Cross Canada Tour

Southern Ontario's newest progressive metal force What's He Building In There? have announced their upcoming cross Canada tour dates. The tour begins with a hometown performance in Waterloo, ON on July 10th and will spread through Western Canada with support on select dates from Vancouver’s NinjaSpy.

The shows will be What's He Building In There?'s first with their two new members - Mason Tikl on guitar and Aiden Stevenson on bass - and will also be the first set of shows with former WHBIT? bassist Hal Jaques filling in guitar duties.

What's He Building In There? is touring in support of their self-titled debut album, released on Year Of The Sun Records last year. The album’s genre bending eclectic sound has drawn comparisons to Between The Buried and Me, Mike Patton, Tool, and Primus, while their debut was named one of the Top 10 albums of 2007 by TheEndlessFeed.com who said the album was "essential for any tech metal enthusiast." The group's video for "Avian Taxi" can be viewed at the following location.

"Pi Nature" was Produced and Mixed by GGGarth" Richardson, best known for his masterful work on the debut album from Rage Against The Machine, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mudvayne and Gallows. The band was Abort Magazine’s Audiotopsy (album of the month in January 2008) and is featured in an recent issue of The Montreal Mirror and were included in *Abort TV’s Season One Trailer alongside Ky-Mani Marley, Nick Oliveri's Mondo Generator, Unearth and August Burns Red.

so they named themselves after a Tom Waits skit?

I'm from southern ontario and i never heard of this band. I should check them out. The name sounds retarded though.

Cross Canada my ass. How about Toronto?

they're named after tom waits, but they don't even do any of his songs.

I saw them last year in New Brunswick, and I wasn't impressed

[Zao_89]

I wouldnt expect a technical metal band like this to do a Tom Waits cover. The Fall of Troy named themselves after a Tom Waits song, and they didnt cover any of his songs (although they named one after him)
