Equal Vision Artists Invade Warped Tour 2008

 

• THE COLOR FRED, PIERCE THE VEIL ON ENTIRE TOUR

• SKY EATS AIRPLANE, CINEMATIC SUNRISE JOIN LATER

• CHIODOS TO PERFORM AT DETROIT DATE

 

JUN 6 – Equal Vision Records is proud to present THE COLOR FRED, PIERCE THE VEIL, SKY EATS AIRPLANE, CINEMATIC SUNRISE, and CHIODOS on the 2008 Vans Warped Tour, kicking off in two weeks!

 

THE COLOR FRED - the brainchild of Fred Mascherino, known for his work as lead guitarist and co-songwriter for Taking Back Sunday - will appear on the entire summer tour for their first time. Mascherino made his Warped Tour debut with his former band in 2003. “Warped’s connection to the punk and skateboarding culture, going back to the first tour, put it ahead of it’s time,” Mascherino recently told Alternative Press Magazine. “For my band and I, playing Warped Tour will be the highlight of the year.”

 

In agreement with Mascherino that this will be the highlight of the year, PIERCE THE VEIL is also making their Warped Tour debut on the Hurley Stage for the summer. Although brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes played a short stint of Warped as BEFORE TODAY, the band is ready for the full experience. “I am so excited to play and to see all of our friends play too,” says frontman Vic Fuentes. “It will be the most energetic and fun performances we’ve ever put together.” The band is currently supporting their 2007 release, A Flair For The Dramatic, but plans to write new material immediately after Warped Tour. PIERCE THE VEIL is also playing 2 off-dates during the summer in Las Vegas, NV on June 24^th and Syracuse, NY on July 21^st.

 

Equal Vision’s latest signees, SKY EATS AIRPLANE have had a busy year already and will add a 3 week stint on Warped Tour to their schedule. Fresh off of a 6 week tour with Alesana, the band is hitting the road on a 4 week co-headlining tour with A Skylit Drive in late June-July in support of their Equal Vision self-titled debut set for a July 24^th release. SEA then head straight into Warped beginning July 27^th in Scranton, PA. Additional tour plans find the band on the road through November.

 

Just off of their first-ever headlining tour, CINEMATIC SUNRISE - featuring Craig Owens and Bradley Bell of CHIODOS - will join a weeks worth of dates on Warped Tour beginning July 10th in Orlando, FL. The band will be playing songs from the just-released debut EP, A Coloring Storybook And Long Playing Record, as well as new songs from the forthcoming full length that is scheduled for a Spring 2009 release.

 

CHIODOS will make an appearance in their hometown of Detroit on July 18^th. Earlier this year, the band opened for Linkin Park and saw their first single “Lexington (Joey Pea-Pot With A Monkey Face)” hit radio airwaves. After headlining the Warped Tour last year, the band is spending this summer overseas at Download Festival in London, Rock AM Ring in Germany, and other dates in the UK and Europe.
