Santiago has successfully finished the first leg of the Kyuss Lives! tour as The Sword's live skinsman.
After The Sword's original drummer Trivett Wingo departed, the band initially jammed with drummer Kevin Fender of Employer, Employee in 2010.
Unfortunately, the band was forced to cancel its appearance at this past July's Heavy T.O. festival in Toronto, Ontario because Kevin was denied entry to Canada.
The Sword will wrap up the touring cycle for its third album, 'Warp Riders', with 18 shows in the US and Canada from November 19 through December 10, once again supporting Kyuss Lives!
