Danzig has tapped Doomriders to provide support for four upcoming shows. The October dates will feature the former Misfit and goth icon as well as the skate/thrash revivalists and gives us a perfect excuse to use the Danzig figurine in this post. While you’re at those shows, please ask Danzig how the gods do, in fact, kill.
I recently interviewed Billy Morrisette from Dillinger Four for Marvel Comics. While our chat focused on some of Billy’s favourite comics from the past and present, I couldn’t avoid the chance to get some info on the band’s upcoming full length The Civil War. The guitarist commented:
The new record is coming along great! The new jams are high energy, and are gonna be a blast to play live. We’re working on really using all three vocals, which we used to do a bit more in the early days and works great, and people always seem to want more of, so that will be fun. But mostly I expect a great Dillinger Four record: fun, fast-paced, great change-ups and a couple songs on this one where it’s a bit different than stuff we’ve done before.

Thrice updated their blog about touring and adapting their upcoming two albums and four EPs for a live setting. The record is titled The Alchemy Index: Volumes 1 & 2 and is due out October 16, 2007:
We’ve started getting ready for tour, trying to figure out how to pull some of the stuff from the Water EP in a live setting, locking in a few Fire songs, and figuring out what stuff we’re gonna play from the back catalog. It’s crazy to think that back in the day, we would get ready for shows, and only have an album of songs to choose from, if that, and sometimes have to learn covers to fill our set time. Now we’re agonizing (not really) over what to play, when to play it, and how to make the set flow without being ridiculously schizophrenic, in a 40 to 50 minute set. We’re getting there, though. I’m really excited to get back out on the road, and play live…it’s been a while.

Darkest Hour, Mike Park and Strike Anywhere have joined a campaign to help eliminate one of the most easily avoided sources of waste: the disposable shopping bag.
The statement notes:
When bands are on the road, it’s not always easy for them to be as environmentally conscious as they are at home. Venues without recycling bins, backstage rooms with paper plates and plastic silverware, and tour vehicles that chug gasoline, are all an unfortunate common occurrence in the world of touring. But while there are some things that bands almost can’t avoid doing, there are other things that are extremely easy to avoid, like using paper and plastic bags.
The bands have all provided artwork and quotes to the shopping bags, made of canvas. They are produced by Stay Vocal. You can check them out here.
