I'm sorry to hear that all you VVF-ers who had been looking forward to some US shows will have to wait a bit longer for some live Voivod magic, and I'm sorry to read that idiotic press release implying that Voivod is to blame for the collapse of a completely shite-sounding festival. However, we all know that Voivod has overcome far worse setbacks, right? With a new album due out, hopefully they will also get that proper US tour with decent clubs, and an interesting and worthy support or two. In the meantime, here's my go at playing armchair promotor: The Melvins recently announced plans for a "50 States + D.C. in 51 Days Record Breaker Fall U.S. Tour" -- have you heard about this? September 5 Anchorage, AK Bear Tooth Theatre and Pub September 6 Seattle, WA Showbox at The Market September 7 Oregon TBA September 8 Boise, ID Neurolux Lounge September 9 Missoula, MT Top Hat Lounge September 10 Salt Lake City, UT Club Sound September 11 Cheyenne, WY The Depot September 12 Denver, CO Bluebird Theatre September 13 Lawrence, KS The Bottleneck September 14 Columbia, MO The Blue Note September 15 Omaha, NE The Waiting Room September 16 Des Moines, IA House of Bricks September 17 Sioux Falls, SD The Vault September 18 Fargo, ND The Aquarium September 19 Minneapolis, MN Grumpy's September 20 Madison, WI High Noon Saloon September 21 Chicago, IL Double Door September 22 Indianapolis, IN The Vogue Theatre September 23 Louisville, KY The Vernon Club September 24 Detroit, MI Smalls September 25 Cleveland, OH Grog Shop September 26 Morgantown, WV 123 Pleasant Street September 27 Allentown, PA Crocodile Rock Cafe September 28 South Burlington, VT Higher Ground September 29 Dover, NH Dover Brickhouse September 30 Portland, ME Asylum October 1 Boston, MA Paradise Rock Club October 2 Pawtucket, RI The Met Cafe October 3 New Haven, CT Toad's Place October 4 Brooklyn, NY Music Hall of Williamsburg October 5 Hoboken, NJ Maxwell's October 6 Wilmington, DE Mojo 13 October 7 Baltimore, MD Ottobar October 8 Washington, DC Black Cat October 9 Charlottesville, VA Jefferson Theatre October 10 Carrboro, NC Cat's Cradle October 11 Knoxville, TN The Square Room October 12 Greenville, SC The Handle Bar October 13 Athens, GA 40 Watt Club October 14 Birmingham, AL Bottle Tree October 15 Pensacola, FL Vinyl Music Hall October 16 Jackson, MS Duling Hall October 17 Little Rock, AR Juanita's Cantina October 18 Baton Rouge, LA Spanish Moon October 19 Austin, TX Mohawk October 20 Norman, OK Opolis Production October 21 Albuquerque, NM Launchpad October 22 Phoenix, AZ Crescent Ballroom October 23 Las Vegas, NV Artifice October 24 Los Angeles, CA Hollywood Forever Cemetery October 25 Honolulu, HI The Republik Voivod's next US tour: as soon as the Melvins set the record, try to break it! How? By following the same itinerary...and adding one or more "US territories" -- like Guam! Or better yet -- hit the road *with* the Melvins. Wouldn't that be a fun bill?

Well, they've been through more bassists than Spinal Tap have drummers, so that's my bet. Not even a nuclear holocaust could take down Dale or Buzz. The Melvins and Voivod would be a fantastic tour package. I also think a Voivod tour with Agalloch would be a perfect match, as Mez suggested on another thread. Here's pipe-dream suggestion. - Voivod [headline] - Yob - Vektor Could be cool. -------------------- I am a robot... bleep blop bloop

Hmm, something must have been Lost in Cyberspace, I answered your email a while back and was eagerly awaiting your presents...I'll re-send it
Damn, really? Wonder if I deleted it not recognizing the name. OOPS. Oh, I think I just deleted it again earlier...shit, sorry. HAHA. I think KONG and VOIVOD would be amazing. Just them and their fans. No drawn out list of bands. In -------------------- What the fuck is wrong with drinking tea?
