Chiodos Co-Headlining Fall Tour with Motion City Soundtrack

Author: spencer

24 Jul

CHIODOS have just announced a co-headlining tour with Motion City Soundtrack this Fall. That’s cool, assuming homeboy can get his shit together. It’s pretty bold, actually, that Chiodos’ handlers are assuming Owens will be ready for life back on the road after his overdose and subsequent stay in a mental health facility. Cross your fingers for Craig folks.

From their publicists:

With frontman Craig Owens appearing on the latest cover of Alternative Press–for the second time in less than a year (October 2007, September 2008)–Flint, MI’s CHIODOS continue to gain momentum, almost a year after the release of their hugely successful second album BONE PALACE BALLET. Released in September 2007 on indie label Equal Vision Records, the album debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart. Critical praise for their compelling post-hardcore music–from outlets, including New York Times, Blender, Billboard, Hollywood Reporter, Revolver, Village Voice and UK’s Kerrang! (see quotes below)–has helped bolster sales of the set to over 157,000 copies.

A mainstay on the road, with international appearances spanning clubs, arenas and major rock festivals, CHIODOS has announced their latest tour: a co-headlining fall U.S. trek with Motion City Soundtrack. Set to kick off September 22 in Louisville, KY, the band will bookend the tour with headlining shows across the continental U.S., Alaska and Mexico. Tickets for the tour go on sale to the public Friday, July 25, check www.myspace.com/chiodos for more information.

Here’s our sweet live footage of them from SXSW. More sweet Chiodos words and tour dates after the jump.
