Yesterday Ruiner made a Myspace bulletin announcing that they are confirmed to play The Fest 6 this October alongside several other bands, including Naked Raygun. So far, the official site for The Fest doesn’t have any listed confirmations. Last year The Bomb, headed by Jeff Pezzati, played a few Naked Raygun songs during their set at The Fest 5. Below is the original Myspace bulletin posted by Ruiner:

“RUINER IS ON THE FEST 6 IN GAINESVILLE FL!:
So we need a place to crash all 3 days. Can anyone help us?
www.thefestfl.com
A ton of bands have been confirmed… Naked Raygun, matt and kim, Seaweed, Dillinger Four, Torche, Avail, Municipal Waste, 108, The Marked Men, Lawrence Arms, Paint It Black, Lifetime and a shit load morePlaying the fest will partly coincide with a semi US tour attempting at making up roughly all the dates we missed this summer. Expect an announcement soon about that.”

It seems that their last record, What Could Possibly Go Right, was aptly named, since recent Bridge 9 Record signees Ruiner were unfortunately forced to cancel their summer tour due to consistent van issues. The band was left stranded in New Mexico and somehow made their way back to their homes in Baltimore after a 30+ hour drive. A fall European tour in support of their newest effort, Prepare To Be Let Down, has already been announced and the group promises to make up whatever shows they missed by canceling the tour.

“Its currently 5:07am here in Baltimore. We just drove (some of us in the back) of a Uhaul truck from Los Cruses NM to home in about 30+ hours. We are very sorry to say we have to cancel the rest of our summer tour. Our van is no more and we spent more money then we will probably ever admit on it. This band has never been the kinda dudes who give up but we have entirely to much planned in the future to totally fuck ourselves financially.
