2012 Bamboozle Headliners Announced

>> The first details for the 2012 Bamboozle Festival have been announced! This year, the festival is going back to its roots and will take place in Asbury Park, NJ rather than at The Meadowlands in East Rutherford. The festival is also happening later than usual. Rather than the first weekend in May, The Bamboozle is set for May 18th - 20th.
>> Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, and Blink 182 have been confirmed as the festival's headliners this year. Bamboozle's founder, John D, still has plenty of surprises in store. Here's a portion of his most recent tumblr post:
There is so much i would like to share with you about Bamboozle 2012. I’m just as anxious to tell you all, as you all are for me to tell you. But, fortunately, i’m a kid at heart and i have to have fun doing so. Clues, hints, challenges and team work all lie ahead for you in the next few months. I can not wait for you guys to see this final line up, i am so proud of the work Christian Mckinght, Nadine Dunn and the rest of my amazing team this year.

Video Interview: Super Prime @ Webster Hall

>> On Sunday October 9th 2011, a pop-punk trio by the name of Super Prime took the stage at The Studio @ Webster Hall in New York City. After their energetic performance, I had the chance to speak with Adam (vox / guitar) and Marcus (drums). The interview went on for about 25 minutes, so I split it into three parts. In part one, the guys talk about the band, their background, line-up changes, and their emphasis on the question "If not now, when?" In part two, they discuss the big picture for Super Prime, including how they keep a realistic perspective and found a method that works for them. Part three goes into detail about what's next for Super Prime. This is where you can hear about the band's upcoming shows, their full length LP, as well as other dreams and plans. You can see all three parts of this interview below.

Valencia Call It Quits

>> Valencia have called it quits, for now at least. The band announced their hiatus yesterday (October 11th) on their website, stating that the members would be releasing new music individually while keeping open the possibility of a reunion in the future. The announcement also provided details of Valencia's final show, a goodbye for now, to take place in late December. The band's official statement can be seen below.



Valencia originally came together back in 2003. Most of us were still just in high school, but we all had gotten to know each other through the tightly knit music community we grew up in around Philadelphia. We started this band because of a mutual need to create something heartfelt and to give everyone a message we needed to share. We all felt like music would be the most significant part of our lives, but never in our wildest dreams could we have predicted the things we’d get to do, or more importantly, the people we would meet because of this band and the songs we wrote and shared with the world.

We started touring full time in late 2004, thanks to everyone at I Surrender Records putting faith in our band and releasing our first record. Ever since then, we’ve given everything we had to our music. We’ve been touring nonstop since then, playing shows in 46 states and five different countries over seven years, all of them places we were brought to thanks to people that believed in what we had to say.

This band started when we were teenagers, and now, as we enter our mid-to-late twenties, we’ve decided that it’s time for us to scale back our time on the road and explore the other elements of life that are not as easily accessible while touring full time. We aren’t considering this our band breaking up, because if that was the case, this situation would feel very final, and it doesn’t feel that way to us. It remains natural for us to write music together and there is always a possibility that we will release new music as Valencia sometime in the future. In the meantime, new music will be written and released by each of us and when that happens, we will let you know.

In honor of starting this next chapter, please join us on December 28th, 2011 for one last show in our hometown of Philadelphia, at the Electric Factory. We hope you’ll be there with us to share one of the most personal, memorable, and important nights of our lives. Thank you all for everything - the letters, the tattoos, the years of listening, for so many countless, priceless sentiments - there’s no way we could ever fully express our gratitude for everything you’ve done for us. We’ve been given the chance to go down a path not many are able to take, and because you’ve had our backs through the story that is our band, we’re able to continue that journey through whatever comes next for us.

From the bottom of our hearts,

Shane, George, Brendan, Dan, Trevor, JD, and Max

Valencia

Video Interview: Jonas Sees In Color & This Love

>> As I've mentioned before, I was fortunate enough to get to hang out with Ryan from Jonas Sees In Color and Joe from This Love after their show with This Condition on September 17th. I first interviewed Joe, but once Ryan walked outside he sat down with us too. This second interview (in three parts) shows the bond formed between touring bands, and how you never know how or when you'll end up finding your best friend. Both interviews from this night were recorded by Kyle Gorry of Bellwether outside of the venue. You can see my one-on-one interview with Joe here, and you can watch the interviews with both him and Ryan below.

Interviews from 9/17/11 @ Ollie's Point

>> Hey guys! So I have been majorly slacking with the updates this month and I'm so sorry about it. I'm now in my first year of college and I'm still getting used to the idea of budgeting my time. I hate to use such a lame excuse, but it's the truth. I'm getting better with it, I promise. Even though the updates have been few and far between lately, I have been keeping up with the latest music news and going to as many shows as possible. I have a ton of show reviews to post for you guys, but I'll just leave you with these gems for now:

>> On Saturday September 17th, I was able to see This Love, Jonas Sees In Color, and This Condition at Ollie's Point in Amityville, NY. It was a great show, everyone seemed to have a great time. After the show, I got a chance to talk to Joe McFaddin, lead singer of This Love. I had to split the interview into two parts, but you can watch them both below. The interview was filmed by Kyle Gorry of Bellwether outside of the venue shortly after the last band finished. It's pretty dark but you can hear what Joe is saying, and I think that's the most important part. I also have another video from that night which I will upload as soon as possible. For now, enjoy my new interview with This Love!

Fall Tour Dates: Saves The Day + Bayside

>> Starting in October, Bayside will be co-headlining a tour of the US with Saves The Day. I Am The Avalanche and Transit will provide support for the entire tour, which runs through the middle of November. Dates can be seen below.

"I have to keep re-checking my emails to make sure I'm not imagining this tour,” says Bayside's Anthony Raneri. “It is for sure one of my favorite lineups. I've been listening to Saves The Day since high school and they're still one of my favorite bands ever. I have followed Vinnie from I Am The Avalanche since his Movielife days and have loved everything he's done with Avalanche. It's safe to say that without Saves The Day and Vinnie's work, there would never have been a Bayside. Not to mention they are some of my best friends now. Absolutely can't wait."
