Well personally, I'd kill to see you guys here in Ohio, USA. And I know that Columbus (in my opinion) is the best spot to play because it's nearly in the dead center of Ohio and convenient for most folks. Some notable venues would be the Al Rosa or LC Pavilion. Unfortunately, I couldn't help you as far as radio and people go, sorry. But good luck to guys, hope the tour plans here in the States goes down well and I hope to see you here in Ohio next year. :)
 

hey man,

thanks for that quick response already!!! it has been noted! :)

in all honest we trying to tour most of the states and our first tour draft we got looked amazing, so lets hold thumbs!!
 

No problem. I try to get the word out about you guys whenever and wherever I can so as many as possible can experience the sweet stuff you guys create. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I'm willing to travel to see a show, hehe.
 

Hyper - thanks buddy, really appreciate it!

Shawn - Thanks for all that info, we're noting this... and hopefully others who want to tour will see this info and it'll help them too, really appreciate you guys giving us this feedback!!!

Thanks!!!

Philadelphia is a great place to play metal shows. We have a strong metal following with many regulars attending almost any metal concert they can find in the city. We have many venues I encourage you to look into.

First and foremost, we have the Trocadero, which is a fairly large venue in the Chinatown section of Philadelphia. IMany bands metal bands preform there, ranging from Cradle of Filth to Opeth to Suicide Silence and everything in between. It is a very nice venue with a large stage. It is the ideal venue in Philly, but for a first headlining tour of the States, it might be a bit big. Here is a link to their website.

A somewhat smaller venue (which I just saw the French band Gojira preform in a couple weeks ago) is the Theatre of the Living Arts (also known as the TLA). It has a large capacity, but for the Gojira show it was somewhat empty. About 300 people on a Sunday night. For a first headlinging tour...this also may also be a bit big. But here is a link to their website for reference.

Now a nice small venue I have attended was actually in the basement of a church. This church is called the First Unitarian Church and it is located in Philadelphia. It has a very nicely sized basement which hosts concerts for all varieties of music. When I was there, I saw the bands Attack Attack! (whom I personally don't really like), Burn Halo, Black Tide, and Escape the Fate. This I think is your best bet as far as size-appropriateness goes. Unfortunately, it has the disadvantage of being a very underground venue and not all that many people know about it, though it is getting bigger and bigger. Here is a link to their website.

I hope I was somehow able to help, and I think your best bet would be to try for the church first. Philadelphia is a great city and I think you would enjoy playing it and visting it very much. I hope you can make it here, and if you do, look for me in the front row. ;)

wow thanks Conor!

appreciate all that info!!!

Trust me when we DO come over there you guys will all be on VIP lists!

Much love to you all!
 

again, ill be their with my friends in force. we are in oregon, so portland oregon here in the US would be nice. hit me up for info on some good venues here, im pretty well versed in them. ive done PR for some bands and some venues here. i can also recomend some local bands here that you would enjoy listening to and even join you on stage that could draw a mass amount of people, and thats saying something for a local band. Last.fm puts you guys as the first band for similar artist with one of the bands im thinking of. anyways, if you want some info on the venues here in Portland Oregon let me know and ill give you as much detail as i can and i can even go out of the way to get more for you, i have a lot of connections in the music world here and know a lot of the people to talk to or know people that know who to talk to. im all for helping bands out. i know how hard it can be to get out their and make something of yourself.
 

You should come to St. Louis, Missouri. We have a radio atation here that would probaly play some of your stuff. It is 105.7 fm The Point. Their web site is http://www.1057thepoint.com/
Talk to the people at Pop's, which is a venue in the area. Their website is http://www.popsrocks.com/ .
Hope to see you when you get here.

 

awesome! will check that out thank you!
 

If you looking for some places in Illinois i suggest The Pearl Room in Mokena. Its a good choice and The Pearl Room has a myspace you can check out (http://www.myspace.com/pearlroom). Almost all of their concerts are metal and all ages which means many of your younger fans can come. There is a metra south train from Chicago like only 200 yards or so from place which means fans can come from Chicago or surrounding places to The Pearl Room. I really hope you consider it because its a pretty good location in Illinois and is not directly in Chicago but close enough for people to come. I imagine getting a show in Chicago is a pain so that why i suggested this instead.
 

talk to Baron at Mediaskare, he can hopefully get you on a regional or national with some of his bands

 

Duncan
Ive tried Mediaskare and didn't have much success but... read our blog
We will be hitting us ANGEL the drummer for Dope soon to see if they want on the show but the other bands want on the tour and are out of this world. 

 

i love you guys, know that!
 

Thank you so much!!!!

We're noting all of this and are looking into it asap!!

Thanks Raven

 

your very welcome! Ok, i'm currently asking friends from those locations venues they would go to. and considering they are from those locations, im sure if they like the music and invite their friends we could get a good tour going. also been researching on google. but yeah venue info:


 

ok getting more info from friends:

in bournemouth apparently there is:
- lava(element)
*toko
*bar:me
*walkabout

again i hope this is helpful to you :)
let me know the final tour dates and ill help promote it for you! no charge whatsoever of course :).

much love,
Raven

 

or come to cleveland ohio. its better then columbus, and my friend at http://www.myspace.com/blitzkriegbookingandpromotion       promotes music like you guys. and already likes you guys. im sure he would be able to find a venue for u guys to play at. check the link out

 

Wow, I's really love to see you guys on concert, you should bring with you Betrey The Emissary, they're way good too, but not as much as you guys :P
 

Adding to what Shawn Harper (Portland, OR) said, myself being a Portland transplant from Minnesota/Wisconsin (odd there may be two of us!)

Minnesota (more notably the Twin Cities) First Ave. is a great venue but it may be easier getting a gig at The Rock in Maplewood, MN (Northeastern-ish improper suburb) I've noticed more acts playing there mostly in part First Ave can have an ego.

For Wisconsin; I can't argue with Milwaukee, but Madison may also show a lot of promise.

Portland, Oregon - not a decision to think about, it's a must that you tour through here.
-I've got my tickets for KMFDM as well as Skinny Puppy and they're both playing at The Wonder Ballroom. The Hawthorne Theatre, though, would be the better of the two.

As for any local acts within any of the locations, in Minnesota there are many similar genre's within Minneapolis, St. Paul, and even Mankato. In Portland, sadly, I've found few decent acts.

Any other help- I'll see what I can do.

 

Hey guys! just wanna thank you all so much for the info!

We are currently planning our UK and Germany Tour its nearly settled, just awaiting confirmation on that one!  That should be around May 2010.

We are also looking into the States, which is a little harder at this point, but it's DEFINATLY gonna happen!

Patience my friends and one day we'll all be sharing a beer together!
 

You guys should come to denver, colorado in the US!! Get a hold of 106.7 KBPI! It's denver's metal/alternative radio station. They are huge on supporting smaller bands that don't have as many connections. They host a lot of tours that come through denver and they always get local bands to play, I don't see why they wouldn't help you guys out! You guys rock.
