The band has posted a new picture of Claudio rocking rehearsals.
And speaking of Neverender, forum user Samuel IV has quite the ambitious project that he has set out on – to cover all of Coheed’s songs as a tribute to Neverender.
Image Entertainment will release the “Vans Warped Tour 2007″ DVD December 2. Shot during the “Lucky 13″ year of America’s longest-running touring festival, the one-hour DVD features breaking and established bands from the annual summer-long tour, affectionately called “punk rock summer camp” by many. Featured artist performances include:
AVENGED SEVENFOLD
BAD RELIGION
CHIODOS
CIRCA SURVIVE
COHEED AND CAMBRIA
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
FISHBONE
PENNYWISE
PEPPER
THE STARTING LINE
SUM 41
The DVD also features 30 minutes of bonus footage, including interviews with ALKALINE TRIO, THE ALMOST, CHIODOS, COHEED AND CAMBRIA, ESCAPE THE FATE, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, MEG & DIA, PARAMORE and THE STARTING LINE.
Since its creation in 1995, the Vans Warped Tour has played a major role in bringing punk rock/action sports culture from the underground to the forefront of American youth culture, while at the same time creating awareness and taking action towards environmental and social causes. Alternative Press readers have voted the Vans Warped Tour “Best Tour/Festival,” while Rolling Stone called it “America’s most successful festival.”
Claudio Sanchez, singer/guitarist for the rock group Coheed and Cambria has long been a comic book author; now he can add ‘toy creator’ to his resume as well!
Kill Audio, a 7 1/2” self-caricature vinyl toy, began as an online comic strip earlier this year that follows the antics of lead character, Kill Audio, a humorous, immortal little troll who seeks his purpose in life.
Asked how the whole idea came about, Sanchez explains, “The idea for the doll actually came first. I wanted to do a ‘likeness doll’, but not just a doll with a guitar in his hand. It had to have more personality and stand alone as a vinyl figure,” Sanchez continues. “I played around with the name Kill Audio and ended up with a character who is not only being constantly killed himself, but later in the story finds hidden meaning in his namesake. The whole idea just snowballed from there. I couldn’t be happier with the way it came together.” The story will continue as a print comic book in 2009.
Kill Audio drops from DKE Toys October 1st If all that blood and gore turns your sensitive tummy, there will be two types of the toy available: a “Bloody version” and gore-free “non-Bloody version.” Check with your local designer toy store for purchase.

Music for Relief is responding to aid the survivors of Hurricane Ike and other storms of the 2008 Atlantic Hurricane season.
You can support the cause at Music for Relief’s donation site.
In the U.S. Gulf Coast: Ike made landfall in Galveston, Texas on Friday evening as a category two storm flooding over 100,000 homes in southeastern Texas and devastating coastal communities in Texas and Louisiana. As of today more than 30,000 evacuees are still living in nearly 300 public shelters, and roughly 2 million people in Texas alone are without power.
In Haiti: Four storms – Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike – have hit Haiti since mid-August, killing over 600 people and affecting hundreds of thousands more. Severe flooding and washed out bridges and roads have made it hard to deliver relief to many of the worst affected areas, including the port city of Gonaives. Tens of thousands of people are huddled in shelters with no food, water, sleeping mats or latrines. Up to 3 million people are at risk of starvation after the back to back storms wiped out food crops.
Music for Relief is working to bring the music community together to fund additional emergency medical materials for health centers and evacuation shelters treating and housing those affected by the storms. Please help us make a difference, donate to MFR today and tell friends and family what MFR is doing in response to Hurricane Ike.
