According to Brian, the tributes to his brother have been tremendous. Many fans seem to feel that Gord would have wanted the event to continue, according to comments left underneath their tour announcement.
On August 18, Teenage Head will perform in Winnipeg, on August 20 in Saskatoon, and on September 10 in Oakville.
