Things may be a little quieter on the local punk scene in the next few weeks as the Humanoids, Suburban Smash and God Fodder all depart Saturday for tours. Suburban Smash and God Fodder pile into a van (the last report was more than 10 people), while the Humanoids go it alone out East. The two groups meet up randomly on the first date of their respective tours, on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Tonight in Belleville, the Humanoids and Suburban Smash play a tour kick-off show (which also doubles as a welcome home to the Metro East band Trenchfoot, which just finished a brief tour of its own). The show is at Illegal Tone Recordings (6 South Church Street, Belleville), with Stymie (Denton, Texas) and Sack Lunch of St. Louis. It costs $5 and gets started at 7 p.m.

After the jump are tour dates -- and maybe you can help.
As you can see, a few of the dates on each tour are still blank, so if you're feeling helpful, contact the bands through their various MySpace pages: God Fodder, Humanoids, Suburban Smash
