**GENERAL ADMISSION**

Fresh off of their west coast run with Metallica and upcoming visits to Finland, UK, Ireland, Australia, Japan, and Indonesia, Lamb of God have teamed up with No Fear Energy for the North American tour in support of their fifth studio album “Wrath” which will be released by Epic Records February 24th. The tour commences in Phoenix, Arizona on April 2nd and covers 35 markets in the US and Canada, ending in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina May 15th.

“No Fear Energy is excited to be working with Lamb of God, Live Nation and the solid line-up of support bands for this upcoming tour,” said No Fear’s Vice President Of Marketing, Britt Galland. “The music on this Tour fits perfectly into the no-holds-barred lifestyle of those who buy No Fear Energy drinks and gravitate toward the action- sports properties associated with the No Fear brand image. We’re anticipating another popular metal tour, along with some unique product promotions and contests.”


Tickets and more information are available at www.livenation.com , www.ticketmaster.com and www.Nofear.com . Check local listings for additional information.

Lamb of God has put together one of the strongest bills to come out of the metal community in recent times. As I Lay Dying and Children of Bodom are the main support acts on the tour, with the opening slot rotating between Municipal Waste and God Forbid. Lamb of God drummer, Chris Adler, commented “I cannot wait to begin the first North American run of the ‘Wrath’ world tour. The package we have lined up is guaranteed to leave sore necks and broken eardrums across the country. If you are into metal, there is something here for everyone, this is not a tour to miss. We are working up one hell of a show and can't wait to play the new material. See you there! “

Don’t miss Lamb Of God with special guests Children Of Bodom, As I Lay Dying, Municipal Waste and God Forbid at Saskatoon Prairie land Park on April 12th 2009.

Good news from Regina's metal community

Hi all....

Well, for metal fans, this will be old news. But Tim Roth from Into Eternity posted a very cool message on the band's website that details the reasons for his mysterious absence from the fall tour.

I'll let Tim's words -- and the pictures -- do the talking. What a lucky dude.

Studio clips from long ago

Hello friends...

I friend of mine passed this link onto me this morning, so I figured I'd share it with all of you. This is the sort of thing that the Internet was made for. I will be using this primarily for my prank phone call business, so feel free to call your friends and relatives, put your phone up to your computer speaker and let Dave do the talking.

Will Eddie return ?

Wouldn't it be cool to see Iron Maiden again in Regina? Well, it could be true. Thanks to metal fan, academic and documentary filmmaker Sam Dunn, Iron Maiden: Flight 666 - The Movie
is set to be released in theatres in April.

Dunn, already a hero among metal eggheads after his documentary Metal: A Headbangers Journey, followed Maiden on its recent Somewhere Back in Time tour, which included a stop at the Brandt Centre. I thought the show was great — after Rush, I've seen Iron Maiden more than any other band — but I was sad when I learned the Iron Maiden plane didn't make it to Regina. I visited the airport and was given some story about the airport not having the facilities to accommodate Maiden's big plane. The poor blokes had to buy a plane ticket from Edmonton, and then to Winnipeg, like regular folks.

Anyway, here's a story about the film — and if any of you have any sway at local theatres, then I urge you to pull in some favours. Seeing Maiden on the big screen would be a treat.

Speaking out for Library Voices

The smooth, modest musicianship and geek-hip lyrics of Regina's Library Voices has raised some important eyebrows in the music world. And fans and the band itself are all pretty pleased.

Spin Mazagine went out of its way to mention the band in its current issue -- sure, it might not have been 12-page cover story, but the reality of a few words in one of North America's most influencial music magazines is a big deal for a little (sort of) band that came together in Regina not that long ago.

Under its "Three Undiscovered Bands You Need To Hear Now" feature, Spin's Peter Gaston writes: "Make room for another massive collective: This born-in-'08 Canadian posse boasts more than 10 members. Thankfully, the sound isn't convoluted at all, leaning on well-edited art school essentials, from restrained flourishes of unadorned guitars to playful keyboards and cutesy boy-girl vocals. Self-referential lyrics? Check. Tales of young, drunken romance? You betcha."

If you missed it, here's a link....

Gaston said that he found the band thanks to the website Sonicbids.com, an industry site that lets bands network with booking agents, venues and other industry folks. Spin and Sonicbids have been involved in a cross-promotion, and the site has been a nice way for Spin staff to research new acts, he said.

"I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them live, should the opportunity arise," Gaston said.

Library Voices member Darcy McIntyre said the mention has pleased him and his bandmates, even though he concedes Regina's long winter is taking its toll.

"Yeah, it is kind of a big deal, I think anyways. Although the winter is dulling my excitement," McIntyre said in a Facebook message.

For those who haven't heard of them, Library Voices began in 2008 as a project by 10 Regina musicians to create spirited, modern pop.

Here's what they say about themselves on their MySpace page: Library Voices is a ten piece pop collective from Regina, Saskatchewan. Blending tremolo soaked guitars with analog synths, vintage organs, circuit bent electronics, accordion, saxophone, and glockenspiel, their songs play out like an AM radio jingle; mixing the best of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and today.

Looks like they're about to warm some hearts in the coming weeks over a 10-show tour that starts in Saskatoon on Friday and takes them throughout Alberta and B.C. in February.

I'll let you know when I learn about another Regina gig.
