“The Birthday Massacre are a fantastically interesting Gothic band from Toronto, Canada who formed in 1999 originally under the name Imagica. According to the band history, they named themselves after a Clive Barker tale but switched over to The Birthday Massacre in 2001 to avoid any problems with another band who used a similar name. Somehow I think the group made the best decision and for years since the change, their singer Chibi and the gang have entertained all the ghouls and boys that find their music of interest with album after album of their brand of melody.” This Saturday, December 1st, The Birthday Massacre arrives in NYC once again as a part of a Vampirefreaks.com extravaganza and their bringing along William Control, Aesthetic Perfection and Creature Feature as supporting acts. I’ve only managed to see TBM (which I will refer to them from now on for the sake of typing) once in concert and I had a great time so that makes me excited to offer my readers the chance to enjoy this unique show thanks to the incredible folks at Livenation. Yep. Free show on us my fiends. Isn’t that special?

Perhaps you are new to the experience that this group brings to the table and if that is the case then I have just the cure for you by adding some links to recent releases from not only The Birthday Massacre but also all the cool support bands that will be playing this evening as well.
My very favorite thing about TBM liveshows is the fact that they are absolutely incredible every time. In terms of memories though, my favorite memory from a TMB show was meeting Chibi for the first time. I spoke to her, told her how much I enjoyed the show and got a pic. As I was leaving, she came at me, arms wide, and said “I’m gonna hug you!” with a big smile. It was super sweet. All of the members are incredibly friendly and I hope to be able to see them again!
Congratulations Brittni because you have won a ticket to the show on Saturday. Please stay tuned to this post for details on how to claim your ticket..
I would love to win because I never seen them live. I love The Birthday Massacre because their sound is totally in tune with modern heavy metal and classic rock (80’s/ The Cure) sounds if you really listen closely! Also I love Chibi, she so cool ( as a rock star with realism and class) and the song Red Stars just blows my mind ( Love the album walking with strangers)! Plus if I get chosen to go to the show, I be so happy because I never really been to a concert besides FleetwoodMac in their reunion in Madison Square Garden ( That was about 3 years ago). I want to see a hardcore band! In case your wondering I’m only 24 Years old and only been to 1 concert which was FleetwoodMac. So Yes, I’m due for a concert! FYI, it be awesome to go because I can take or give the ticket to my best friend that introduced me to The Birthday Massacre and Her birthday is in December which is perfect!
