The band arrived over there on Sunday and did a short press conference while there, which you can watch on YouTube. Press photos from the event can be viewed in our Picture Vault. You can keep up to date with the tour setlists/photos/dates on our tour page. We'll update them as soon as we have stuff to update it with.

Update: Here's a video from the Bangkok show.

Mike Dirnt's restaurant, Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, will be featured on The Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives" on January 25 at 10pm EST (with repeats on Jan. 26th 1am, and 9pm on Feb. 5).
