I have also received a message from Bag Online Adventures, he says the comic book signing/short performance on Saturday, October 1st @ 11AM in Chicago will be held in Bloomingdale, not Shaumburg. Can anyone confirm this?
Update:
cuteNcnfused from Cobalt and Calcium writes: I can get you a picture of the flyer if you want. Not only is it at the tower records in bloomingdale but also it is at 12 not 11. Everyone with a wrist band has to show up before noon in order to be guaranteed to be let in.
In short, buy the album, get your wristband, and show up at 11:15 AM and hang out with other fans.
Coheed and Cambria’s, “Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness” is now officially out on the shelves.
If you didn’t get those special pre-order deals, go to Best Buy and get the album along with a free live recorded show from the Hollywood Avalon Theatre.
Wonder if this album is going to go platinum?
Guitar World released their new November-2005 Issue where you can learn from the best. Claudio and Travis perform clips from the songs: A Favor House Atlantic, Final Cut, and Welcome Home. It has now been archived in our videos section.
Perhaps after watching them, you could submit your own cover!
Dave Parker will be an addition to Coheed and Cambria on their fall tour. He will be playing the keyboard and guitar.
For those of you who don’t know Mr. Parker, he has been a good friend of Joshua Eppard’s for what seems like forever now, and has played a big part in the success of Weerd Science. Dave was also in a band called, Divest, which are taking a break.
I think it’s a wonderful idea to get Dave involved, and it seriously couldn’t have have happened to better guy!
