THE ACACIA STRAIN, THE RED CHORD, AND THE CONTORTIONIST CONFIRM TOUR, VOW TO APPREHEND PEDOPHILES

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 at 12:00pm by

We first told you about The Acacia Strain’s fall headlining run with The Red Chord and The Contortionist a few weeks ago, and you certainly seemed excited by the news; so you should be stoked to know that there are now dates for that tour.

The tour, by the way, is called “To Catch a Predatour,” which has to be one of the best names for a tour I’ve ever heard. In fact, I can’t believe no one has ever used it up ’til now. If genius is, as they say, the simple idea that no one has ever thought of before, well, whomever thought of this is truly a genius, and I would like buy him a donut.

ANYWAY, this is gonna be a killer tour. Of course, I’ll have to drive to Poughkeepsie if I wanna see it, which means I probably won’t be seeing it. See, all you people who think we have anything to do with tour routing? We have less than no power when it comes to that shit, or I would have been on the phone hours ago demanding that someone schedule a NYC date.

Here’s the itinerary, courtesy Metal Underground:

10/29 Albany, NY – Northern Lights

  • Douchechill

    Very good tour name.

    So the bands are gonna diddle teenage girls at all the shows? Is that what they’re getting at with that name?

  • JB

    The farthest West date on that tour is Louisville?

    Might as well have labeled an East Coast tour

    • Stu

      It was.

  • Driven9

    damn.. no Detroit.

  • Xenochrist

    I would just like to give you a swift fuck you for not coming to Texas. Thanks.

    • M.

      like it is Metalsucks’ fault the tour didn’t schedule a Texas date. what part of an east coast tour doesn’t make sense?

      • Stu

        HAHAHA
        It’s not like people bitching about tours not coming to their area is dumb enough, it’s even better when they bitch a “West coast tour,” isn’t coming to Kentucky, or a “East coast tour” isn’t coming to Texas.

      • SonOF

        Yeah but it is an “East Coast” tour that’s missing NYC, Long Island and Jersey. I mean, that’s only like 33 million people. But they are hitting Jermyn, PA as well as THREE (yes three) upstate NY dates, so that’s a plus. Nice planning.

  • Doc

    So that’s what Axl looks like!

  • RayRay

    The Contortionist new album is album of the year HANDS DOWN. Do not steal it, BUY IT. BUY multiple copies.

      i dont care what they’re selling, as long as its music, im buying it

      but it looks like i gotta hitch a ride to Montreal for this.. which means ITS GOING TO FUCKING RULE! CHYEAH!

      • Alex_P

        Don’t get your hopes up, they’re playing in the suburb of Longueuil. In Longueuil, everyone looks and acts like Steve Perry.

    • nsv81

      Never heard the band before so went on their myspace and listened to the track “Expire”. If this is album of the year it’s a sad, sad state of metal affairs in 2010.

  • emetal

    this is going to kill all and destroy all of all that is anything

  • ryan d.

    chris hansen is my hero

  • kickoutthejamsman

    Oh Chris, you are so good at answering your own questions.

  • SonOF

    No NYC, Long Island, or even Jersey? Horrible planning. “Dumb City Tour 2010″ :/
