Coheed and Cambria Announce Early '09 Tour with Slipknot

I just can't envision these bands on the same bill...or appealing to the same fan base. The show will probably sell out quickly though.

Coheed and Cambria, Slipknot and Trivum and teaming up for a 30+ date tour that stops at Madison Square Gardens on February 5th. Internet pre-sales through Ticketmaster will start on December 5th and the password is Noworld.

For more information, check out Slipknot's new website which was launched to coincide with the tour.

Lauren Harris: Opens for Iron Maiden Tonight at MSG + Exclusive Interview

Lauren Harris is opening Iron Maiden's Somewhere Back in Time tour and she and her band are in town this weekend for shows at PNC Arts Center and Madison Square Gardens (tonight). Lauren is touring behind her debut CD, "Calm Before The Storm", which was released earler this month. (There is a free download, Steal Your Fire, from this disc on Lauren's MySpace profile)

I had a chance to catch up with Lauren on Friday to talk about her new CD, the Maiden tour and what the last two years have been like as she has gone from playing in front of a couple dozen people at Don Hill's to playing major arenas worldwide.



Tonight's show at the Garden is sold out but there are always tickets on the street (and not all of them will be counterfeit)
