LAST. DESPISED ICON TOUR. EVER.

Friday, August 6th, 2010 at 10:40am by

Despised Icon are breaking up, and that’s a bummer, but at least they’re giving their fans one last chance to check ‘em out live before they call it quits. And if you’ve never seen Despised Icon in concert before, well, you really ought to — these dudes know how to bring it. And my recommendation should seem doubly impressive to you given that Despised Icon are basically French-Canadian wiggers, which, in theory, should really piss me off.

They’re bringing along Misery Index and Revocation, too — and both those bands absolutely slay live. These shows are gonna be fun, man.

    I’m really sad, this is almost as bad as when sikth broke up. Nevertheless, thisshow will fucking massacre everyone in a 10 mile radius, I gotta go

  • Driven9

    ill def. be at 9/15 Detroit

    Revocation is one of my favorite new bands!

  • Andy Synn

    I’ve always tried to like Despised Icon more than I do. It’s just the Superfluous Second Singer that doesn’t work for me. They really don’t need two vocalists.

    Still, sad that they won’t be around anymore.

  • Mike2

    aww, come on. A Quebec’s band last tour ever and they don’t go to fucking Montreal? Bullshit…

    • kvlt of personality

      Did Quebec become a part of the United States now?

    • bob

      there’s a Canadian tour as well.

      • Vakarm

        WITH Misery Index, and The Last Felony. Those bands are fücking awesome

          WHY CANT I LIVE IN CANADA!?
          i would much rather see the last felony than revocation

      • orbital

        Where are the dates? If they pass up Vancity i’ll be enraged.

    • stu1

      Jesus, how are things over there on Mars???

      • Random

        I’d be willing to bet that Despised Last show is in Mtl, so mars is doing good.

  • Sambo

    Sad this isn’t coming to Las Vegas. I know TONS of people here who listen to them so I don’t see how this tour would skip Vegas. Maybe it’s because here, Despised Icon is the only band worth caring about since barely anyone here likes Revocation. FML.

  • Matt

    I am really surprised axl likes this band. But the newest release fucking owns.

  • B-dizzle

    Whoever booked this tour, you’re a jerk for completely skipping over Virginia, DC, AND Maryland.

      +1 I was hoping to see a date somewhere around here, but alas they failed

      • TheSkunkCatcher

        they skipped NY too!

    • KC

      Yeah they kind of missed the south entirely if you look at it. That’s bullshit. Good thing I saw them a couple years ago.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jimi-Hite/732925706 Jimi Hite

    how do you tour the entire country and not land up in NY not once…

  • HARRYDICKERSON

    fucking houston Tx!
    I’m lucky for once!

  • Ryan

    When the fuck is Revocation going to support a good band so I can see them live again?

  • Dubs

    Way to skip the southeast.

  • Christian

    Despised Icon blows, but I’ll be at 9/12 for Misery Index and Revocation.

  • thelump

    Despised Icon suck live, saw them at Heavy MTL few weeks ago.
    At least they clear time to get food, while all the Wigger-kids are in the pit right?

  • vinterkat

    “Despised Icon are basically French-Canadian wiggers, which, in theory, should really piss me off.”

    why?

    • Alex_P

      As a French Canadian, take it from me. Ours are far worse.

      • vinterkat

        I’m from Quebec, i just didn’t get why he was so pissed off…

  • UncleRukus

    SEE YOU IN THA PIT

    SAN DIEGO

  • cgrind

    No Southeast dates? WTF?

  • Aric

    These assholes forgot every southeastern state.

  • Alex_P

    Openers>headliner.

    That is all.

  • Pres

    Abso-fucking-lutely cannot wait for this show. Despised Icon has been a favorite of mine since 2005. And the fact that their St. Louis show is at Fubar is god damn hilarious. That venue is a tiny hallway. Should be fun as fuck.
