CHIODOS
ANNOUNCE CO-HEADLINE TOUR WITH SILVERSTEIN
AND SPECIAL GUESTS ESCAPE THE FATE AND ALESANA
PERFORM AT VANS WARPED TOUR IN DETROIT
TO OVERWHELMING CROWD RESPONSE
CHIODOS—the acclaimed Flint, MI sextet who released their sophomore album BONE PALACE BALLET in September 2007 with a #5 debut on Billboard‘s Top 200 Album Chart—has made a name for themselves with their dynamic and energetic stage show. Having already recently announced an early fall tour with Motion City Soundtrack, CHIODOS will also embark on a fall co-headlining tour with Silverstein launching Friday, October 10.
The latest tour plans will coincide with the special edition re-release of BONE PALACE BALLET via indie label Equal Vision Records. CHIODOS—CRAIG OWENS (vocals), BRADLEY BELL (keyboards), PAT McMANAMAN (guitar), MATT GODDARD (bass), JASON HALE (guitar) and DERRICK FROST (drums)–recently went into the studio with producer Casey Bates in Seattle to record new tracks to be included in the set, due out this fall (release date tbd). Critical praise for their compelling post-hardcore music has helped bolster sales of BONE PALACE BALLET to over 159,000 copies. Village Voice hailed, “Bone Palace Ballet displays newfound prog prowess, metal chops, a grasp of dynamics and helium-voiced belter Craigery Owens’ understanding of pop hooks and melody…” and UK’s Kerrang! adds, “In penning powerful songs…Chiodos have undoubtedly struck gold (10/27/07).”
A mainstay on the road with international appearances spanning clubs, arenas and major rock festivals, CHIODOS will perform the new tracks on their co-headlining tour with Silverstein and special guests Escape the Fate and Alesana. It will kick off in the band’s home-area of Detroit, where they recently received an overwhelming crowd response at the Vans Warped Tour date. An estimated ten-to-twelve thousand fans cheered the band on, singing along to tracks from both their latest release and their debut breakout album All’s Well That Ends Well. The co-headline tour will head to the west coast before wrapping on October 30 in San Antonio, TX.
