unfortunately i got ahold of Bebo Norman's people and apparently that show in Colorado has been cancelled and he's not planning on playing in Colorado.
This really bums me out since this show was going to be epic with Bebo, Shane & Shane and Shawn McDonald. Hopefully those guys will make it up to us after the tour!
Also, Life In Your Way has cancelled their tour which would have brought them to Lifespot in South Denver on October 6th. This is lame as well.
Sorry!

Comeback Kid on MTV2
okay, so i know i post a lot about Comeback Kid, well, it's because they are my favorite band.
well...
That might change very soon.
All my life I've mulled over the label "sellout", and what bands actually deserve that. First it was Blink-182, then it was H2o going to MCA Records and so on. but as I've gotten older, and seen my former favorite band, AFI, go almost totally pop, I've tried to rethink the label.
Now you can vote for Comeback Kid on MTV2. This band, from Canada, played almost one of the smallest venues in Denver last year. No one really knows who they are except the kids in the hardcore scene, and Chris Deulen who accidentally bought their cd and hated it.
But anyway, apparently they're catching momentum and now have a big enough fan base to tour with Rise Against and play at Red Rocks. i don't get it.
i wish i was in a band so i could not make these decisions. i hope my good friends in Killing the Dream never get on MTV, though, i don't think that will be a problem unless they come out with MTV-Hardcore, but they won't.
Hardcore is totally a fad right now, hopefully it'll blow over, it seems like some of us are always running away from these genres as they pick up steam, i think I've run full circle now that Pennywise, Good Riddance and other punk bands have taken a backseat to Hardcore/Post-Hardcore bands.
but i digress, Comeback Kid on cable? lame. I'm seriously looking for a band to fill this void that CBK has left, maybe Life in Your Way or Sinking Ships. I just love seeing great bands in small venues, and now it seems that Comeback Kid won't be playing anywhere small again.
Is this really what Scott Wade would have wanted? What about the fans?

Chasing Victory show Recap
awful
First show I've ever walked out of during the set of the band i came to see.
Who records a hardcore sounding album and then plays the songs 2-3 bbm slower live? people weren't hardcore dancing in the crowd, they were swing dancing. I'm not lying. it was embarrassing.
i heard 5 songs and that was enough. no energy, just boring, and disappointing.
On top of that, Chasing Victory has a new cd coming out May 8th titled Chasing Victory describes the cd as STP-esque (as in Stone Temple Pilots). Who makes that album?
The last time i was let down by a band would have been...um...Straight Faced in 2000 after their final and terrible release Pulling Teeth.
SILVER LINING: I got to the show as doors opened knowing that Chasing Victory was playing early in the set. the first band Life In Your Way, were playing and they blew me away. solid hardcore with some great choruses and positive message. My friend Jeremy had just given me a cd with a bunch of bands on it and apparently Life In Your Way was on it, therefore, it was on my ipod. so that was cool. i got to check them out on the way home!
anyway, Chasing Victory, terrible,
