Mosh: What's next for COC? What are your touring plans? Mike Dean: First thing we're doing is Australia, followed by a little bit of North America and then a little bit of Europe. At that point, we'll take a look around and see if we have an opportunity to start working with Pepper or if we're going to have to wait on that. We try to keep honing it, it's our job, we got to be on tour. We'll see what kind of wonderful offers are waiting for us.
