Summer tour with Vangard

The band began touring full-time in support of Won , starting with an American summer tour with Vangard, Keepsake , and Further Seems Forever from early August to mid-September 2001. The last leg of the American tour was cut short due to the September 11 attacks in New York City (As Friends Rust was scheduled to play the city three days later), but the band managed to perform at the Orlando Magicfest in Orlando, Florida, Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, and Philly Music Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Another North American tour with Where Fear and Weapons Meet was initially booked for October to December 2001, but was cancelled when Where Fear and Weapons Meet’s original vocalist quit and the band announced its breakup (though the band would ultimately reform a year later).
