Just a little over a week until the madness begins!
9th - Worcester, MA at Lucky Dog
11th - Springfield, VA at Jaxx
12th - Brooklyn, NY at The Hook
Just a reminder too - please get tickets for the Jaxx show directly from Odin's Court. This is the BEST way to support Zero Hour, as they will get paid through us.
Also, for the MA and NY shows, please tell them at the door you came for Odin's Court and Zero Hour to ensure we all get paid.
Thanks!
Hell yes, people! It is getting really close! I can't to see some of you again and not even have to wait a whole year!
I would like to make a distinction here regarding the Jaxx show and ZH getting paid... Yes, buying tickets through us (or the ZH site -- the orders still come through us) is the BEST way to ensure that Zero Hour gets paid. I don't want anybody to misunderstand though... They are getting paid STRICTLY based on the pre-sales that Odin's Court makes. Its actually kinda stressful having that pressure because these guys are phenomemal musicans and AWESOME people and they DESERVE to get paid well for their work. However, rather than us giving them a portion of what we are getting paid (as some may believe it is), they are getting paid a decent chunk of each ticket that WE sell. So, yes, in way they are getting paid through us since it based on our pre-sales performance, but it isn't just a portion of the usual Jaxx pay!

AND THANK GOD FOR THAT!!! Folks, we don't do this for the money, we don't it for the love of the music. Yes, we want to get paid too (it costs enough to rent transportation, hotels, food, etc...), but I really am MUCH more concerned with making sure that these guys get their due!
Why am I saying this? Because I have heard reports of people getting confused. They are getting confused because they believe that all the other bands ticket sales are going towards ZH's pay too. I really wish that were the case, but its not. I have only heard of ONE band that is offering up (on their own) some of their take to contribute to ZH! That would be the awesome guys in Division. Please understand though, the club is paying ZH much more per ticket than what Division is even getting. In order for them to match the clubs pay, they would have to contribute 100% of their pay + a significant chunk more of their own money.
Undoubtedly, the BEST way to support ZH on this tour is to either go to the Zero Hour site or the Odin's Court site and purchase them there. You can also PM or email Matt or myself to get your tickets.
No, I have absolutely NOTHING against Division, so get that out of your head. On the contrary! I consider them to be good friends and brothers in metal! Hell, they have my old bassist, Ron, from my former band, we are borrowing their drummer, James, for the Brooklyn show, I've known Mike since ProgPower 1, and both my old band AND Odin's Court have done many shows together with them. Not only that, they are the ONLY band to step forward and make such a nice offer. Right now, I'm just concerned with making sure that ZH gets enough to offset the cost of this tour some so that they will be able to do it again (and want to).
Thanks! See ya at the shows!
