It looks like the Disco Biscuits drummer Allen Aucoin has been confirmed to take over duties behind the kit for Particle for the group’s entire Winter tour, which runs from January 9th through February 6th. Aucoin will team up with Steve Molitz, Clay Parnell, and Ben Combe for what is sure to be an explosive live show. No reason has been given as to why current drummer Brandon Draper will not be touring with the group, but during their post-Phish late-night shows, Particle was joined by Dopapod drummer Scotty Zwang and guitarist Rob Compa, who both sat-in during the two-night run.

The tour kicks off this Friday at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA and will meander throughout the country, ending the tour out in San Francisco, CA at the Great American Music Hall on Feb. 6th.
