AWESOME!

(Please play Pittsburgh... Please play Pittsburgh... Please play Pittsburgh [it is home of Inside Out Music America anyways] Please play Pittsburgh)

I second, third, and fourth that motion! Then they could play on a worknight and I won't mind. I drove to Cleveland to see them last time and although it's only 2 hours, it's still too much when you have get up early the next day.

Pittsburgh! Pittsburgh! Pittsburgh! Maybe if we get a chant going they will listen and come here! :)
 
Of Course, The LA shows will rock above the rest due to this being Russell's home and he has a LOT of friends wanting to see what they left out last time they came to town. Can anyone deny the fact that they simply KICK ASS over anything that is out there now ?
 
According to the talent coordinator for the Hollywood show, that show is currently being presented as Symphony-X headlining, with two or three local acts as support. She has no information that Devin Townsend is playing the show as well.

I mentioned to her that she might want to verify that, so that she doesn't book too many local bands, and then have to cancel one of them at a later date.

I'll know more this week, if anyone is interested.
 
The Devin Townsend Band is supposedly opening up the whole tour through the States and some dates in Canada. I hope they play alot from the Ocean Machine record on this tour, this is going to be an excellent bill !

I would rather have Sym X do the entire night by themselves but, that will never happen in this town. I SWEAR, Hollywood SUCKS !!!! The crap that goes on in this town regarding worthwhile acts goes totally unnoticed. :yell:
 
Hey, Bonetones...

Talked to her again today, and she says it's just Symphony-X plus the local acts. I'm guessing that potentially gives Symphony-X a longer set, which is fine by me.

If you come to the Hollywood show, I hope that my band can change your mind about the local scene being so bad for prog-metal...
