Epica North American Tour 2012

[longshot9]

I love Epica, but I think i'll skip this tour. Horrible lineup

 

[Unholy_Prince]

Epica AND Insomnium??? Can't wait for the NYC date. This is gonna be awesome.

 

[Meteornotes]

Apparently my brain works very differently, as I think Destiny Potato is an amazing band name. It would be worth to go to the show just to get a Destiny Potato t-shirt. I could use it to amaze and confuse people at the grocery store.

Meanwhile, what the fuck is a destiny potato? Some daily special at the Forever Diner?

If you're ever in Los Angeles, stop by the Baked Potato, they have baked Potatoes as big as your head, and they are awesome! THAT is a destiny potato, to me! And they have KILLER music in a small room!

LOL, Job for a Cowboy at least is a combination of words that could make sense in English, sentence-wise. Meanwhile, what the fuck is a destiny potato? Some daily special at the Forever Diner?

It's a GLADoS

ROFL

Insomnium! Screw it, even if there's a djent band on the bill... INSOMNIUM! Can't wait to see dates for this, Insomnium is nearing the top of my list of "must see" bands!

Insomnium and Equilibrium pretty much top that list, for me.

No. It's still Job For a Cowboy. And that's considering there are grindcore bands called Weekend Nachos and Pizza Hi-Five. Job For a Cowboy is still the dumbest name for a band, ever.

Nahhh, Horse the Band is. (There's also some dumb-sounding 'two animals' band that Victory is pushing right now, but thankfully my mind is blanking on them.)

No....at the Big Bang Burger Bar!

Dang, that Prince Nuada feller from Hellboy 2 has fallen in with a REALLY lousy crowd.

Oct 23 Washington , DC Howard Theater

WTH? Why not Empire (formerly Jaxx)? Nothing against the Howard Theater, but they're not exactly known for metal shows, if you know what I mean.

 

[nomisofsiman]

Interesting these dates aren't scheduled around Progpower.

 

[PureXul]

Interesting these dates aren't scheduled around Progpower.

That would've more or less put them up against the Nightwish/Kamelot tour - even if they weren't directly competing in any given market, it would've been going around the country within a couple weeks of NW/K and inevitably would've hurt Epica's attendance because people have finite money/time for concerts. I'm guessing that Finberg handles both Nightwish and Epica's North American booking (someone in the industry, please correct me if that's an invalid assumption), so he has even more reason to stagger their tours.

Maybe because it looks like "Empire" is trying to move away from its Jaxx past?

They're definitely phasing out a lot of the metal shows.

 

[Stingray11214]

They're definitely phasing out a lot of the metal shows.

They are trying to go for the "hip" and Hip-Hop crowd, that is for sure. I give it about a year before it becomes a Latin club.

Agreed.

Probably the Sabaton show coming up in May would be the last one I attend at Empire.

Since I'll already be seeing Epica at PP, I would skip this show if not for INSOMNIUM ! Love this band and looking forward to seeing them play. It's just too bad there are so many support band which will result in a pretty short set for them.
