For those who don't know, the Atlanta date here is a little misleading, it is not just the Tyr/Alestorm tour, they are actually part of something called the Scion Show and it's an all day thing (starting at 11:30AM). Here's the link. I'm sure Alestorm will get all of 20 minutes to play. :^(

I am scared because the Pearl Room (very lousy club) has had a bad track record of sound issues and ripping off bands (Helloween / Gamma Ray) and as of late...moving a show to Capones next door which isnt even a place for shows (no stage). I am hoping these issues get solved before this tour hits US shores.
Suidakra = 35 minutes
Alestorm = 45 minutes
Tyr = 45 minutes
I found the set times for the Scion Rock fest too,
The worst ones for me are Tyr playing at the same time as Wolves in the Throne Room and 1349 playing at the same time as Mastodon! Also, choosing between Boris and Toxic Holocaust won't be an easy decision either. I like to see whole sets...not some songs from one and some songs from another! Damn!
Even worse: Tyr, Suidakra and Alestorm, who would have played full sets upstairs in Heaven, are being relegated to playing shorter sets in Purgatory, that little side bar downstairs.....with a capacity of what? Maybe 100 people?![]()
Seriously, man. I wish these guys would get the sets that their tour makes them deserve. :45/:45/1:15-1:30...that would have owned.
So anyone from Texas, Atlanta or Florida seen this tour yet? (since those are the only places its been so far)
I saw both the Houston and Austin shows!! Suidakra and Alestorm kicked ass!! Full on energetic shows. Tyr was somewhat boring to me though the guitarist has a CFH tattoo which is a cool ode to Texas Metal!
I hung out with Suidakra most of the time...good group of guys and they have Seeb from Orden Ogan playing second guitar. Orden Ogan is a badass Power Metal band from Germany as well. I would recommend you catching the show if it comes near you!!![]()
