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.

    • http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&contributorid=19569360 Garske

      lol

      I C WAT U DID THERE

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rob-Smith/693050550 Rob Smith

      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

      • Cancrum Oris

        Welcome to the Internet.

        Moron.

  • Sin and Death

    YAR!!!

    • Sin and Death

      Man, only two Canadian dates? That’s harsh. Sorry, Canadians, better luck next time.

      • Honeynutzz

        That’s normally all we get anyways. Toronto and Montreal fuck the west lol. Definitely going on the 26th.

        • http://infinitybasement.wordpress.com Jon Lewis

          Me too, when are these going on sale anyways?

        • Ty

          Going to have to drive from Winnipeg if I want to see this; so damn far.

          • fritz

            man I have to drive from Saskatoon!

  • Steven A

    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!

  • RockOutWithMy…..YouKnow

    Might have to double up and hit the city on the 29th then head home on the 30th! Ohhhh possibilities

    • RockOutWithMy…..YouKnow

      Or I could do it right and stay home on the 29th and hit the city on the 30th. That would probably work better.

      • Jesus

        Frankly, I don’t think anyone gives a fuck

        • RockOutWithMy…..YouKnow

          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.

          • Natalie

            HAHA. awesome.

        • GOD

          Shut the fuck up son!!!

          • chris

            fuck you god

    Love living in Chicago.

    • DJ

      as do i, we get all the awesome tours

  • deanerhead

    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.

    • geraldford

      i hope he gets a twenty minute set

      • deanerhead

        I hope you die of arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease and diffuse arteriosclerosis by age 93, Mr. President.

    • Natalie

      I hope he gets an hour set because someone’s bus stops working or something. anyone but Cynic’s bus. hahaha

    • Motoghost

      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

      • stu1

        Well, when Cynic and DT sell more records and draw more than BTBAM, they can headline

        • Ben

          This is truth.

          • stu1

            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.

        • Motoghost

          Good point stu1.

  • jason

    No Florida dates?!? I call bullshit on this.

    • jason

      Ammendment: Only ONE Florida date?!? I call bullshit on this.

  • Did you just piss on my xbox?

    no pittsburgh?

    fuck yoooooooouuuuuu

    • Gunnar

      Baltimore is only 3 or so hours away right? Find a cheap hotel and go.

  • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

    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.

    • ZapBranigan

      Ugh, Cleveland is a 3 hour drive for me and lake effect snow is a bitch. I’m debating it though.

      • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

        If there was anything worth driving three hours in said lake effect snow, this would be it.

        • Justin Sane

          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!!??

    • Glenn

      I don’t know…

        Insightful… Thank you.

  • Driven9

    Hell Yeah!! Magic Stick in Detroit HERE I CUM.

    • Beereded

      I see what you did there. I’ll be there. I’ll be the dude in the black band shirt.

      • mr. poops

        i think i saw you at the last concert i went to

  • moyles

    yea stop at quebec.. dont come to newfoundland like every one else. still hating my life.

    • Snores

      why the fuck would any band go to newfoundland?
      why wouldnt they stop in montreal?

    • Ty

      Lmao yeah. Newfoundland total population of 500k, whereas Montreal is the spawning grounds of metal in Canada

    Jan. 11 – Houston, TX – Meridian

    FUCK YES

    • Natsquatch

      1

  • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

    yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees fillmore for the win!

    • chris

      sound kinda sucks there but it will still be a badass show

      • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

        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!!!

    • Ryan

      I’ll see you there.

  • Shinaain

    Anyone going to the Denver date: shots for my belated bday??

    • Future Ruins

      I’m friggin there!

    • Dr. Rockso

      I will most definitely be going.

    • Future Ruins

      Why does it have to be Cervantes though? It should be at the Bluebird, Ogden or Gothic.

  • Dan-O

    Jan. 20th baby!

  • yourgodsucksballs

    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.

  • http://runningthevoodoodown.blogspot.com pdf

    Arrive early, leave early. I’m really only going for Cynic. Can’t stand BTBAM.

  • http://lavidastrangiato.blogspot.com/ Jake Strangiato

    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”?

    • chris

      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.

  • Chris Berseth

    No MN date? I may have to make a trip to Chicago.

  • Kuranes

    Huzzah! San Diego!

  • Nikki

    it feels good living in So Cal =)

  • Elpants

    I find the lack of Northwest dates…disturbing.

    C’mon, add Boise, Portland and Seattle.

    • wackomann

      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.

  • josecarnage

    FUCK THESE BANDS GIVE ME SOME ATTACK ATTACK, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE AND SOME BROKENCYDE

  • human#19860

    …….FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK

  • some guy

    Jan. 10 – New Orleans, LA – House of Blues

    FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • B-dizzle

    Why in the fuck is BTBAM headlining?

    • stu1

      Just a thought, but, because they’re bigger.

  • Gunnar

    Sonar in Baltimore! will be there for sure!

  • Me

    montreal. good times. at least for Canadian dates Montreal usually gets one right after Toronto.

  • soup

    devin townsend on my birthday? what could be a better gift? i suppose if he still rocked the skullet…but i can’t complain.

  • BEHEMOHAWK

    Do they have any fuckin’ clue how small the magic stick in Detroit is?

    My bathroom is bigger then that place.

    • stu1

      Holds about 500, right? But you’re right, I’m sure the booking agent didn’t know how big the place was.

  • Jo

    awww buying tickets from the band without the extra bullshit charges was so nice yesterday. plus it was only ten bucks whoooooooooooooooooooooo

  • DecrystallizingReason

    FUCK. Closest date for me is a 4-hour drive to Chicago, in January. God damn it.

    • Ty

      Man my closest drive is 25 hours through the icy Trans-Canada highway

  • Kill All

    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.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anthony-P-Stine/1314021455 Anthony P Stine

    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.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tim-Shanks/1273561133 Tim Shanks

    As popular as all these acts are, as far a cities go, this is one of the most poorly booked tours ive seen.

    • stu1

      How so? Cuts off the northwest, but aside from that?

    • wackomann

      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.

      • Kill All

        Tempe is basically Phoenix

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cody-Barrick/1630475642 Cody Barrick

    wish there was a date closer than maryland for me.

  • bitch

    arg! fuck st louis!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michel-Giroux-Burroughs/574086565 Michel Giroux-Burroughs

    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?

    • http://www.last.fm/user/groverXIII groverXIII

      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.

    • Snores

      Extensive Enterprise confirmed the BTBAM show two days before BTBAM did lol
      You can buy tickets at Labyrinth

  • Ty

    Axl I appreciate the use of Drew’s “Oh Face” from Office Space. Classic.

  • The Rev’rend

    …Aaaand the O-Face, For The Win!

  • Sambo

    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!

  • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/62449cbe5ea8d22bcc2e76890fceaa37.png Lord Bling

    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.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Justin-Ashley/894695456 Justin Ashley

    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.

  • Cameron

    I hope it’s called the Orgasm Tour, I would buy that shirt in a heartbeat.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Todd-Hall/100000134543525 Todd Hall

    I love living 6 hours from Chicago.
