THE RED CHORD Announces US Shows, Explains European Tour Situation[views:32099][posts:10]______________________________________ [Apr 22,2010 2:55pm - the_reverend ""] THE RED CHORD Announces US Shows, Explains European Tour Situation Forced to miss its European tour with Rotten Sound and Aborted due to the effects of the recent volcano in Iceland, The Red Chord has lined up an amazing weekend’s worth of shows for fans on the East Coast. Saturday, April 24, The Red Chord will play the main stage at the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest in Worcester, MA, alongside Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, and Job For A Cowboy. This last-minute NEMHF appearance is a homecoming of sorts for The Red Chord who hail from nearby Boston and who have played the now-legendary fest five times, starting in 2003. Sunday, April 25, The Red Chord heads to Brooklyn, NY, to headline a show at Public Assembly with Premonitions Of War and Tiger Flowers. This is an ultra rare opportunity for fans to witness The Red Chord at a tiny venue. The alliance between The Red Chord and Premonitions Of War dates back to 2003 when the two bands teamed up on a self-booked US tour (along with none other than Between The Buried And Me!). The Red Chord frontman Guy Kozowyk went on to release a Premonitions Of War CD, Glorified Dirt + The True Face of Panic, on his label, Black Market Activities. Kozowyk offers this explanation about the European tour: "We did everything we could to make it to this European tour with Rotten Sound and Aborted. Unfortunately, our best efforts couldn't get The Red Chord or Those Who Lie Beneath onto the continent until it was far too late. The remainder of the tour is uncertain, but if Rotten Sound and Aborted continue with the rest of it, we strongly advise and appreciate your support of the remaining shows. We will do our best to make up shows before the end of the year and we thank the bands, agents and fans for their patience and understanding during this ridiculous situation." The Red Chord’s latest album, Fed Through The Teeth Machine, is out now on Metal Blade Records. http://www.theredchord.com http://www.myspace.com/theredchord |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 22,2010 2:58pm - ouchdrummer ""] You asked them to play 4/24? That woulda been neato! |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 22,2010 2:58pm - ouchdrummer ""] I love these guys live, there aren't enough bands that play as tight live as they sound on there cd. Good stuff. |

That woulda been neato! no nate from pow contacted alex about it and then said the Red Chord needed a slot time. after spent about an hour trying to come up with a working structure to fit them in...they changed their minds. no matter i think the set up for the show is already perfect. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 22,2010 3:01pm - ouchdrummer ""] holy moly |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 22,2010 3:02pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] would be cool to get them to come out for a legit show down the road. with proper promotion and local support that would be huge. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 22,2010 3:04pm - ouchdrummer ""] you know i'd clean your room to be on that bill. On a side note, The Red Chord obviously ran into some troubles getting across the pond to be part of that tour. While most bands would chalk it up as a loss, these guys hustle to get some other shows to do. Good stuff. |
