He’s 56 years old, clean and sober, but he’s still Ace; in other words, he still seems like he has come here from another planet.

 

His rambling, which appeared to amuse him as much as the audience, helped create a relaxed atmosphere suitable to the intimate setting. The music, however, was no laughing matter. Frehley and his band—guitarist Derrek Hawkins, bassist Anthony Esposito and drummer Scot Coogan—cannot have been together long and while they weren’t flawless,

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE ON 2008′S “TASTE OF CHAOS” TOUR

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE ON 2008′S “TASTE OF CHAOS”
NORTH AMERICAN TREK

Tour Dates in Support of the Band’s “Scream Aim Fire,” Out January 29

Los Angeles, CA - December 20, 2007 — With the title track from their upcoming album, “Scream Aim Fire,” already blazing at Rock Radio, the Welsh metal-core band BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE announces that they will join forces with Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu on the Main Stage for “Taste of Chaos,” 2008. The tour kicks off Friday, February 29 in Denver, CO, and will play more than 40 cities in the U.S. and Canada through to late April. The UK’s Kerrang! magazine recently cited a Bullet show at London’s Brixton Academy as one of the “100 Greatest Gigs Ever,” so U.S. fans should be in for a string of sensational performances.

The “Taste of Chaos” dates will be the first North American tour for Bullet For My Valentine since early 2007 when they sold out their first headline tour this side of “the Pond.” Just prior to “Taste of Chaos,” B4MV will play three weeks-worth of headline dates in the UK and Europe, including a kick-off concert in their native Wales.

Bullet For My Valentine - Matthew “Matt” Tuck/vocals, Michael “Padge” Paget/Guitar, Michael “Moose” Thomas/drums, and Jason “Jay” James/Bass - saw their 2006 debut album, “The Poison” - dubbed “One of the finest debut albums in rock history” by a major UK daily - sail past the million sales mark, selling 350,000 in the U.S. alone.

“Scream Aim Fire” was produced by Colin Richardson (Machinehead, Funeral For A Friend) who also produced “The Poison,” and was recorded at Sonic Ranch near El Paso, TX earlier this year. The eleven new songs are, according to frontman Tuck, “really melodic heavy metal…catchy, hooky choruses and full-on vocals, with the music being very in-your-face and heavy…it’s a lot more uptempo [than ‘The Poison’], a lot more aggressive.” Still a week away from the official U.S. radio “add” date, the album’s title track has been the #1 Most Added track at CMJ’s Loud Rock chart, and #1 Most Added at FMQB’s Metal Detector chart.

With the Canadian dates to be announced in January, the confirmed itinerary for Bullet For My Valentine on the 2008 “Taste of Chaos” tour is as follows:

Hello Operator On Tour!!

Hello Operator On Tour!! 



 

Acclaimed as a “newsmaker” by Macleans magazine and “one of 12 bands to watch out for” by Canoe, Hello Operator is beginning to hit it off as big-shot indie-pop rockers. They have appeared on Much Music, were showcased on E-talk Daily and were the first band ever to be featured on MTV Canada’s “MTV Live”.

“…guaranteed breakthrough rock act” – London Free Press


On the follow-up to their massively successful, self-titled EP, Toronto’s Hello Operator offers escapist pop jangle tempered by a moody new-wave pulse. Heartache/break never sounded so hooky. H.O. write big, brawny anthems that soar on the back of meaty guitars, 80’s pomp, and measured pop chops. Think The Cars covering “Cars” by Gary Numan, or a glorious revisionist history lesson on the past twenty-five years of radio rock, these dudes have their melodic guitar rock bases covered.
