Good Old War to play Philadelphia

Despite having a song titled “Can’t Go Home,” Good Old War is returning home yet again.

The Philadelphia area natives will be opening for Dispatch on Oct. 9 at The Tower Theatre.

The band, which just completed a two-month tour in August, is a week and a half into a stretch of similar length. The band tours 300 days out of the year, and has done five full tours in North America in 2012 alone.

Good Old War last played in Philadelphia in late August at Union Transfer – a show originally schedule for last May. Lead vocalist Keith Goodwin suffered a back injury that caused the band to reschedule three dates of the tour.

Drummer and vocalist Tim Arnold assured that Goodwin is feeling much better now. “He’s back on his feet, dancing,” Arnold said.

Tickets are still available for the show at thetowerphilly.com.
