BTBAM/CYNIC/DEVIN TOWNSEND/SCALE THE SUMMIT DATES
Thursday, October 29th, 2009 at 10:00am by Axl Rosenberg
As promised, here are the dates for that whole Between the Buried and Me/Cynic/The Devin Townsend Project/Scale the Summit North American Orgasm Tour 2010, which I’m sure actually has a much more “professional” name, even though calling it the “Orgasm Tour” would really just be truth in advertising.

I’m not risking a trip to Chicago in January, maybe if it was Zeppelin or Maiden or Creed.
lol
I C WAT U DID THERE
Creed?! Are you serious? You would “risk” a trip to Chicago to see Creed? First those dudes are long washed up and their careers are way over. Even those bands like Zepplin and Maiden (though don’t get me wrong they are legends and any REAL music lover can respect them) aren’t worth going to see anymore. Between the Buried and Me are a genius band that combine almost all aspects of the musical spectrum and they do it brilliantly. Their show would be brilliant
Welcome to the Internet.
Moron.
YAR!!!
Man, only two Canadian dates? That’s harsh. Sorry, Canadians, better luck next time.
That’s normally all we get anyways. Toronto and Montreal fuck the west lol. Definitely going on the 26th.
Me too, when are these going on sale anyways?
Going to have to drive from Winnipeg if I want to see this; so damn far.
man I have to drive from Saskatoon!
YES! A fucking Florida date that is only an hour away. It’s the same Venue that HORSE will be hitting in December. This is going to be awesome!
Might have to double up and hit the city on the 29th then head home on the 30th! Ohhhh possibilities
Or I could do it right and stay home on the 29th and hit the city on the 30th. That would probably work better.
Frankly, I don’t think anyone gives a fuck
Good thing that’s not gonna stop me from posting!
And I would think that would go for 95% of the comments on here.
But just to reiterate what I want to do.
I want to go see the show in Clifton Park on the 29th, then head down to NYC on the 30th and see it again.
HAHA. awesome.
Shut the fuck up son!!!
fuck you god
Love living in Chicago.
as do i, we get all the awesome tours
Apparently its called the Great Misdirect tour. It seems to me there’s one too many bands on this bill. For those of us only interested in Devin, I sincerely hope he gets more than a half hour set.
i hope he gets a twenty minute set
I hope you die of arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease and diffuse arteriosclerosis by age 93, Mr. President.
I hope he gets an hour set because someone’s bus stops working or something. anyone but Cynic’s bus. hahaha
It’s a very proper title considering whoever made the lineup was completely misdirected putting BTBAM as the headliner over both Cynic AND Devin Townsend
Well, when Cynic and DT sell more records and draw more than BTBAM, they can headline
This is truth.
I didn’t mean that as a diss, either. I like all of the bands. But I’m so sick of people whining about shit like this. “Band A rewlz! Why are they opening for that shit??” Well, the concept of “opening” generally involves you NOT being as big as the other band, and while helping to bring some people to the show, the key is exposing your band to other people. There is no question here that neither Cynic or DTP at this point, aren’t as big as BTBAM.
Good point stu1.
No Florida dates?!? I call bullshit on this.
Ammendment: Only ONE Florida date?!? I call bullshit on this.
no pittsburgh?
fuck yoooooooouuuuuu
Baltimore is only 3 or so hours away right? Find a cheap hotel and go.
Cleveland in January? Awful brave of them… I’d like to make it to that or the Detroit show, but I don’t see that happening, sadly.
Ugh, Cleveland is a 3 hour drive for me and lake effect snow is a bitch. I’m debating it though.
If there was anything worth driving three hours in said lake effect snow, this would be it.
don’t do it, 3 hours to see a show at peabody’s will just make you angry. that place is a shithole with bad sound.
i live 10 minutes away, and would love to go just to see devin, but i cant stand peabody’s… i’m actually thinking about not goin.
Surprise surprise… Utah gets fucked over… Why oh why do I live in such a stupid state!!??
I don’t know…
Insightful… Thank you.
Hell Yeah!! Magic Stick in Detroit HERE I CUM.
I see what you did there. I’ll be there. I’ll be the dude in the black band shirt.
i think i saw you at the last concert i went to
yea stop at quebec.. dont come to newfoundland like every one else. still hating my life.
why the fuck would any band go to newfoundland?
why wouldnt they stop in montreal?
Lmao yeah. Newfoundland total population of 500k, whereas Montreal is the spawning grounds of metal in Canada
Jan. 11 – Houston, TX – Meridian
FUCK YES
+1
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees fillmore for the win!
sound kinda sucks there but it will still be a badass show
i was just there thursday for trivium/chimaira, sounded just fine 2 me…though i guess it prob makes a big difference when u hav more technical stuff like these guys, whatever i dont care, FILLMORE FOR THE WIN!!!
I’ll see you there.
Anyone going to the Denver date: shots for my belated bday??
I’m friggin there!
I will most definitely be going.
Why does it have to be Cervantes though? It should be at the Bluebird, Ogden or Gothic.
Jan. 20th baby!
Slim’s in SF on the 18th? Wow. I hope I get to buy Devin crepes from the crepes stand
across the street that, when drunk, looks exactly like a taco truck. Canadians like that shit,
right? I’m so excited for this, my balls are sopping wet. This should make up for my
stupidity when I didn’t get tickets in time for Meshuggah/Cynic/The Faceless at the same venue.
Arrive early, leave early. I’m really only going for Cynic. Can’t stand BTBAM.
January 13th, I am SO there! Mostly for Cynic, but I do like BTBAM, too. For those who’ve seen them, how often do they play “Ants of the Sky”?
i saw them play it twice, but that’s when colors was brand new so i doubt we’ll be seeing ants of the sky. they’ll probably play all of the great misdirect.
No MN date? I may have to make a trip to Chicago.
Huzzah! San Diego!
it feels good living in So Cal =)
I find the lack of Northwest dates…disturbing.
C’mon, add Boise, Portland and Seattle.
Ditto with Seattle. You figure with Devin there’d be at least a Vancouver date on here. Then again, maybe he’d save a two-hour gig as a one-off after the tour or something.
FUCK THESE BANDS GIVE ME SOME ATTACK ATTACK, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE AND SOME BROKENCYDE
…….FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK
Jan. 10 – New Orleans, LA – House of Blues
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why in the fuck is BTBAM headlining?
Just a thought, but, because they’re bigger.
Sonar in Baltimore! will be there for sure!
montreal. good times. at least for Canadian dates Montreal usually gets one right after Toronto.
devin townsend on my birthday? what could be a better gift? i suppose if he still rocked the skullet…but i can’t complain.
Do they have any fuckin’ clue how small the magic stick in Detroit is?
My bathroom is bigger then that place.
Holds about 500, right? But you’re right, I’m sure the booking agent didn’t know how big the place was.
awww buying tickets from the band without the extra bullshit charges was so nice yesterday. plus it was only ten bucks whoooooooooooooooooooooo
FUCK. Closest date for me is a 4-hour drive to Chicago, in January. God damn it.
Man my closest drive is 25 hours through the icy Trans-Canada highway
Tempe, AZ…right down the street from my house, finally a date in the section of AZ I live in. No trip to Tucson this time, unlike Dying Fetus/The Faceless/BTM. I hate Tucson.
Portland got fucked again.
Oh well. I would’ve left after Devin’s set anyway. I don’t give a fuck about the other bands.
As popular as all these acts are, as far a cities go, this is one of the most poorly booked tours ive seen.
How so? Cuts off the northwest, but aside from that?
No northwest, Vegas, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Kansas City, OKC, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville…
I’m sure money’s tight and everything, but these kinds of things make you hope for a second leg of the tour.
Tempe is basically Phoenix
wish there was a date closer than maryland for me.
arg! fuck st louis!
ahem, the Club Soda in Montreal isn’t even announcing it on their website, but they are announcing some kind of unknown folk metal band called Korpiklaani. What the fuck? When are the tickets gonna be on sale?
Korpiklaani isn’t really unknown to fans of folk metal… unfortunately, they’ve gotten in the habit of releasing albums with a couple of decent songs and a whole bunch of songs that are carbon copies of their older material. Their older material is pretty good, though… rather upbeat, with lyrics in English that aren’t especially well-translated, but it’s good drinking music.
Extensive Enterprise confirmed the BTBAM show two days before BTBAM did lol
You can buy tickets at Labyrinth
Axl I appreciate the use of Drew’s “Oh Face” from Office Space. Classic.
Hey tour routers! Stop passing Pittsburgh!
already got my tickets for the charlotte date!
WHAT NO NORTH DAKOTA DATES?!
owate
i already knew this i added it on last fm, buying ticket for san diego leik right now,im glad btbamis headlining they deserve to, they just released the fuckin great misdirect!!!! will be buying btbam and cynic merch
…Aaaand the O-Face, For The Win!
I’m probably either seeing them January 16 or January 18 since I live in Las Vegas and my brother’s up in Reno and we are MAJOR fans of BTBAM!
I will be at the Dallas, TX show, one way or another. Cynic and Devy, together?!? Unfuckingbelievable. I’ll do whatever I have to do to go to this.
You know… I was so excited that Devin was touring.
Every concert I’ve been to since then has paled to my anticipation of that moment. So here I am finding out that BTBAM are headlining I die a little bit inside.
I’m not sure why but I was really convinced Devin would be headlining his own tour.
I hope it’s called the Orgasm Tour, I would buy that shirt in a heartbeat.
I love living 6 hours from Chicago.
