The enigmatic Buckethead will open a series of shows for Particle as the group heads out in support of its studio debut. Buckethead will appear on the Launchpad tour from March 31 through April 15, shows which carry the band from Milwaukee (Eagles Club) down to Atlanta (Variety Playhouse). Other openers include Rob Wasserman this Friday and Saturday in San Francisco and Los Angeles as well as Fareed Haque at Denver’s Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver on March 25 and 26. Launchpad will be released on March 23 and Particle hits the road beginning Wednesday at South by Southwest in Austin, TX .
