The band will join Okilly Dokilly, the Ned Flanders-themed metalcore outfit that also hails from the Valley, on a 24-date tour around the West and Midwest. The tour will start in San Diego on February 1, head up the West Coast (with a surely romantic Valentine's Day engagement in Bend, Oregon) before finally concluding in Austin, Texas, on March 2.
In 2013, New Times writer Chase Kamp profiled Playboy Manbaby. "Musically, the band combines snidely screamed vocals, distorted garage guitar, and waist-loosening bass with onstage theatrics, making them one of the most cultishly appreciated live acts in the all-ages Valley circuit," he wrote.
BIG NEWZ BUDZ! We're going on tour with @Okilly_Dokilly in Feb. We are the disgruntled grown up versions of Rod & Tod, so it fits super well. Let's hang out! What should we do? Where should we eat? pic.twitter.com/log2svJnvi

Playboy Manbaby's last album was the LP Don't Let it Be, which was released earlier in 2018. The sextet, which includes singer Robbie Pfeffer, guitarist TJ Friga, bassist Chris Hudson, drummer Chad Dennis, horn player David Cosme, and saxophonist Ricky, celebrated the new album at a release party at Trunk Space in January.
