Yes that's right. We are touring with the band that brought you such Goo (alternative Melbourne nightclub back in the day!!) classics as 'Down With The Sickness' and 'Stupify'. I'm not particularly into Disturbeds music, however I am fond of the drunken 4am, last ditch effort to pick up, dance floor soundtrack it provided for my younger years. I'm hoping that every night I see them on this tour I will be in a state that is reminiscent of all those Thursday nights I spent at Goo, as will much of their crowd, so I think I'll be in good company.
When we were asked to do this tour we had a massive chuckle at first that we would be playing a Nu-metal show (however this may not come as much of a surprise to people who listened to our last record haha). Then we heard what venues it would be in and that they had just scored not only the number one spot on the US charts (selling 250,000 records in the first week) but also the number 1 spot on the Australian charts (selling over 10,000 in the first week) for their 'nu' record Indestructible. I mean who'd pass up the opportunity to play with one of the biggest alternative acts in the world.....not us! So after the initial chuckle we took this to be an awesome option to do this tour even though our styles are a fair bit different, especially on the newer stuff. With that said though, we will be playing a good 3 or 4 new songs on this tour, so those of you that are going will get a taste of the new BCE record! The dates for the tour are as follows:
29 Aug 2008 - Metro City - 18 - Perth, Western Australia 31 Aug 2008 - Thebarton Theatre - All Ages - Adelaide, South Australia 2 Sep 2008 - Brisbane Entertainment Centre - All Ages Brisbane, Queensland 3 Sep 2008 - Hordon Pavillion - All Ages - Sydney, New South Wales 4 Sep 2008 - Newcastle Entertainment Centre - All Ages Newcastle, New South Wales 6 Sep 2008 - Festival Hall - All Ages - Melbourne, Victoria
Tickets go on sale this Thursday and will sell out really quickly, so make sure you get in early if you wanna be down (with the sickness....ahhh never gets old).
For those of you who dont really like Disturbed, never fear, as we will be announcing (if all goes well) a headline tour of our own to coincide with our new single (which again, if all goes well will be out in September).
In recording news we have had a week off. Slack fuckers we are!! But all is going well. I have had laryngitis for the last couple weeks, which has not allowed me to do any singing, which for a singer sucks major donkey dick! Alas I am feeling a lot better now and will be back in the studio finishing off the album starting Monday! We have about 2-3 more weeks total and everything will be done! So pumped! It has been a long 10 months or so of writing and recording for this album but I think all the hard work has been worth it. It is definitely our best stuff so far. And Richard Stolz (our producer/engineer) is pulling some amazing sounds that are going to make you shit your pants forreal!
We have also made another studio diary so check it out:
And lastly we have some new merch up in the kys store: check here! ps Clints GF is hot ;) hahahah
