Festivals and tours

In 2011, the band toured heavily in support of The Unmistakable Man, becoming the first artist ever to perform at both the Newport Folk Festival and the Warped Tour. They additionally performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Austin City Limits, B.O.M.B. Fest, South by Southwest, and The Bamboozle. They also toured in support of Brand New, The Get Up Kids, Steel Train, Max Bemis (of Say Anything), Kevin Devine, Alkaline Trio, The Apache Relay and The Avett Brothers. In conjunction with their tour supporting Kevin Devine, the band and Devine released a collaborative split 7" vinyl EP, including two new River City Extension songs, "Ballad of Oregon" and "Point of Surrender".

In October 2011, it was announced that River City Extension planned to record its second full-length album with producer Brian Deck that fall. The album, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Your Anger was released June 5, 2012. The title paraphrases a quote from the Bible verse found at Ephesians 4:26, which speaks to believer's about righteous indignation or anger. "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." (New International Version) Michelini's mother would often recite this verse when he was a child. The band supported the album with a five-week US tour, co-headlining with The Drowning Men. They continued touring through the summer, including stints supporting Blind Pilot and Manchester Orchestra.

In June 2012, it was announced that the band would perform at the October 2012 Austin City Limits Music Festival.
