Chevelle,
Helmet Head SnoCore Tour
12-23-04
.
(press release) Epic recording artists Chevelle
will headline this year's Winterfresh SnoCore tour presented by MTV2. The
platinum trio will amplify a lineup that features heavy hitters Helmet,
Crossfade, Epic labelmates Future Leaders of the World and Strata. The
trek begins January 22 at 8150 in Vail, Colorado.
"When people look back at the music of
2004, they'll remember it as the year of lip-synching and 'wardrobe malfunctions,'"
says Chevelle drummer Sam Loeffler. "So what better way to launch 2005
than with a tour featuring real rock bands? There won't be any gimmicks
or fake vocals--just a huge show featuring a killer lineup. That's called
starting the year off right." "We're really psyched about this tour," adds
vocalist Pete Loeffler. "SnoCore has supported a lot of great bands and
this year's bill is one of the best. Plus," he laughs, "It's a chance for
us to rock out with our snow boots on."
The brothers Loeffler (Pete, drummer Sam
and bassist Joe) are touring in support of acclaimed new album THIS TYPE
OF THINKING (COULD DO US IN), the follow-up to 2002's platinum-plus-selling
chartbuster, Wonder What's Next. The Chicago-based powerhouse is picking
up where it left off, debuting on Billboard's Top 200 at #8, scoring a
No. 1 hit in lead single "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" and going gold
in just six weeks. In addition, they've appeared on The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno and CNN, while the "Vitamin R" video is in rotation on MTV, MTV2
and Fuse. They'll maintain momentum with blistering new single "The Clincher,"
which is already a fan favorite thanks to its inclusion on EA Sports' top-selling
video game Madden NFL 2005. The song impacts radio in early 2005. Chevelle
recently wrapped an arena tour with Korn.
Future Leaders of the World are currently
touring in support of their Epic Records debut LVL IV, an album infused
with relentless rhythms, visceral guitars and socially-conscious rants.
The disc, co-produced by GGGarth (Chevelle, Mudvayne) and Mike Flynn and
mixed by Andy Wallace (Jeff Buckley, Jane's Addiction) and Michael Barbiero
(Metallica, Soundgarden), features hit single "Let Me Out," currently tearing
its way up the rock charts. The Buffalo-based quartet (vocalist Phil Taylor,
guitarist Jake Stutevoss, bassist Bill Hershey and drummer Carl Messina)
recently won Launch's "Who's Next?" artist competition, beating out Le
Tigre, Rilo Kiley and Skindred. The band is fueled by Taylor, whose past
of poverty and homelessness drove him to succeed. LVL IV tells the story
of his journey and the different people and experiences he encountered
along the way.
The Winterfresh SnoCore tour presented
by MTV2 is now in its 10th year. Founded by the band Sublime, booking agent
Rick Bonde and music entrepreneur John Boyle, SnoCore has become the nation's
premier annual winter festival tour. Over the course of the past few years,
SnoCore has featured System of a Down, Incubus, Blink 182, Primus, Alien
Ant Farm, Trapt and many others.
