Title: Man Alive North America Tour starts now!
Post by: Sandwich on October 02, 2002, 10:25:25 am
Man Alive (http://www.man-alive.com/), a local punk-rock band here (and incedentally good friends of mine) flew out last night to begin their North America tour. They signed for their new album with Sterile Records, based in Vancouver, and are going to have shows in 40 of the 50 states in the US, as well as a couple of possible appearences in Canada. They'll be touring around for 2.5 months, till mid-December, so chances are good that you'll be able to catch them in your area.

Tour dates, music samples, band info and pictures are all available on their web site (which I designed and created myself - one of the many reasons I've been so busy the last few months). Their new album, Work in Progress, will be sold at their shows. I've heard the final mix, and all I'll say is that it's far better than the musical samples they have for download either on the site or on MP3.com. :nod:

So they've got a Vancouver record deal, but no shows in Vancouver?  :wtf:

Ask 'em if they can get me free tickets if they come here. ;)

Well, because of that very fact, they will eventually show in Vancouver, but they don't know exactly when. They're looking at Europe and Japan tours after this US one, but I don't know anything more than that... honest! ;)

As a matter of fact, lookie here (http://man-alive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30). Seems an ex-member of the band, now living in Canada, is trying to book them a show or three there.

Anyway, I'm gonna be in Wash. DC for Thanksgiving week (that Mon. to Fri.), so I may be able to catch them there - I sure hope so! Unfortunately, their East coast dates are all still being settled, so I have no way to know yet. I'll bump this once I update the site with the full list of dates. :D

BTW, how do you like the site? :thepimp:

EDIT: I forgot, their MP# site is here (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/142/the_deacons.html) - the first two songs there are off their new album, but they aren't the final mixes.
