And we\u2019re just as excited to get a chance to play a few shows with a drum legend like Ken Mary. Good times ahead,\u201d says Flotsam.<\/p>\n<p>Flotsam posted on their Facebook page back on May 8th, an email address for drummers to request audition songs to send videos into the band, which generated numerous submissions from around the world. The band is working through the audition videos to narrow down and then select a drummer after the summer tour dates are complete. Also, the band begins pre-production tracking for a new album with a Spring 2018 release.<\/p>\n<p>Flotsam and Jetsam\u2019s summer tour dates:<\/p>\n<p>20.07.2017 The Rock \u2013 Tucson, AZ<br \/>\n21.07.2017 Club Red \u2013 Mesa, AZ<br \/>\n22.07.2017 Brick By Brick \u2013 San Diego, CA<br \/>\n23.07.2017 Malone\u2019s \u2013 Santa Ana, CA<\/p>\n<p>02.08.2017 Wacken Open Air \u2013 Wacken, Germany<br \/>\n05.08.2017 Hypothalamus \u2013 Rheine, Germany<br \/>\n06.08.2017 Moonlight Music \u2013 Diest, Belgium<br \/>\n10.08.2017 Nueshoorm \u2013 Leeuwarden, Netherlands<br \/>\n11.08.2017 Into The Grave Festival \u2013 Leeuwarden, Netherlands<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: Metal Rules<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/flotsamandjetsam.official\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/flotsamandjetsam.official\/<\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FLOTSAM AND JETSAM has announced their 2017 summer tour dates with a string of shows&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58668"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58670,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58668\/revisions\/58670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
