Leave a comment

Sure we are in the middle of winter and that makes announcing the summer tours all the more pleasurable. Here’s the latest news about a co-headlining run by Deftones and Rise Against. Two bands that I still have yet to witness in concert. Dig in to the full on press release, dates and poster. I’ll close up with some thoughts of course.



The Press Release:
Deftones will join forces with Rise Against this summer for an extensive co-headline tour. Produced by Live Nation, the North American run will kick off on June 9 in Chicago, IL at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island. It will include shows at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY (June 13), Starplex Pavilion in Dallas, TX (June 27) and Concord Pavilion in Concord, CA (July 6). See below for itinerary.

“Every once in awhile you get to share the stage with a band so powerful they make you work harder. After conspiring for years, we’re excited to finally share the road with such an epic band. We can’t wait to put Deftones and Rise Against fans under the same roof in 2017,” said Rise Against.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday, February 10, at 10 AM local time. In addition to regular Deftones/Rise Against single ticket options, fans in select cities will have access to a special 3- or 4-show TICKET TO ROCK package, which will include a lawn ticket to multiple rock shows at select venues this summer.

Deftones have released eight studio albums to date – including 2016’s Gore – and have sold over 10 million albums worldwide. “Hard rock thrives on conflict and chaos, and no band has found more beauty and soaring aggression within those ingredients than Deftones,” said the Los Angeles Times. The multi-Platinum, GRAMMY®-winning alternative rock band from Sacramento, CA is vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno, guitarist Stephen Carpenter, keyboardist/samplist Frank Delgado, drummer Abe Cunningham, and bassist Sergio Vega.

Title: “Punisher: War Zone” Soundtrack

Release Date: 11/18/2008

Rating: 2.5/5

Fans of Marvel Comics around the globe know full well about Frank Castle, The Punisher, the anti-hero who made his first appearance in the Spider-Man comics and over the years has had three movies made about his adventures. These films find him to be the sole protagonist in his war on crime and the first film was a largely forgettable one that gave us Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV) as the vigilante in 1989. This was followed by the rather on target release bearing the same name in 2004 that put Thomas Jane in the recognizable skull emblem ensemble and it’s popularity has led to a sequel. The new film is entitled “Punisher: War Zone” and this time around Castle will be played by Ray Stevenson. Having seen the trailer online I can say that it looks to be along the same level of excitement that the last movie offered and I am sure that it will feed the need of those fans that the character has. Like most movies of this kind, its release comes hand in hand with an official soundtrack CD.
