Oct 25 here. Maybe they'll do something goofy since it's the last day of the tour.

 

[Cheiron]

Second time. They toured with Psyopus and Dysrhythmia last year. But this is their biggest tour by far. Sweet as hell band. Too bad I don't like their support =p

 

[dcowboys311]

I don't really like A Life Once Lost, but Behold...The Arctopus, Genghis Tron, and DEP are all great. I hope I can make it to this one.

 

[the rhythm]

Genghis Tron will be good. Dillinger suck so much. The only decent album they have put out had Mike Patton on vocals.

Haha I think they will be the support. Dillinger definitely is a headliner. The first 2 albums and ep were great people!

 

[Angrafan]

A Ft. Lauderdale date?? :zombie: Those have been pretty scarse lately...

 

[Kenso]

i honestly have no clue how anyone likes dillenger, everytime i listen i just want to die, a very swift death

behold the arctopus are pretty interesting, i dont particularly like them but they have some crazy intense stuff, they are like a supercharged estradasphere.

estradasphere, now thats an instrumental band that you guys should checkout

I'll be at the Spring, TX show. And yes, sorry to be unclear, it's actually the Dillinger Escape Plan tour and Behold... The Arctopus is the opening support, but as far as I'm concerned, Arctopus touring is far more noteworthy. I'm surprised they are so low on the bill, and not direct support.

 

[sh0kr0k]

Surely many of you have already found out, but I just did... This tour was canceled due to one of the members of Dillinger Escape Plan suffering a broken foot during the filming of a new video. There was a Dallas date added for tonight so I checked the venue website for info and that's when I discovered the change.. I was really looking forward to seeing Behold... The Arctopus

The dates are being rescheduled for DEP, but I don't know if they will be taking Arctopus with them.

 

[Cheiron]

=(

Skullgrind is a really good album too....

 

[dcowboys311]

According to the Masquerade's website, DEP/Behold...The Arctopus/Ghengist Tron/A Life Once Lost is now on December 7, so I guess it will be the same bill, just different dates.

Hopefully that's the case. So far, no sign of rescheduled dates from the Arctopus camp, but it may take some time. Watch, only DEP gets rescheduled instead of the whole package

And yes, Skullgrind is a great disc! Apparently it's "in stores today" according to a bulletin they posted. I asked which stores are carrying it, their reply:

it SHOULD be everywhere since metal blade's distro is good, but if you dont see it at your store, tell them to order it. it makes us look better! hahaha,

You like them too? And Dir en grey (we talked about that last year)...

Wow. <3

Yessir I bet there's plenty more bands we agree on too!

 

[sh0kr0k]

Well, official word on the DEP tour is that it will be all the same bands except Behold... The Arctopus, who are being replaced by Stolen Babies. :Smug:

I'm pretty sure I won't be showing up now.

 

[Pellaz]

Hmm, cool for The End Records, though, that Stolen Babies are part of the tour.

 

[sh0kr0k]

I don't know much about Stolen Babies, and I bet I'd prolly like them (based solely on them being on this tour and on The End records).. but I'm just sore because Arctopus was replaced. Could have been anyone that replaced them and I'd be ... Well, almost anyone. Maybe I should listen to Stolen Babies and not give up on this tour. Maybe I'll make it out yet!

 

[dcowboys311]

boo, A Life Once Lost is the band who should have been replaced, then this tour would have been awesome! I'll probably still go because I enjoy 3/4 of the bands though.

 

[sh0kr0k]

So I was going through the local Dallas concert listings and saw Behold... The Arctopus playing at a place called The Door with Between The Buried And Me - NEXT MONTH! I thought I was staying on top of their tour schedule, but I guess I slacked off. Can't blame them for choosing BTBAM over Dillinger Escape Plan, but I still wish they'd tour with prog acts instead of this crap. Anyway..
