[LastLaugh]

Exactly! :)

[LastLaugh]

Oh boo. Dan said "The Calling sucks." when responding to the question of what he though of TC's performance at Pepsi Smash.

LOL

[LastLaugh]

I'm so pissed. No Letter Kills with SOTY for me. How did I know that would probably happen? They're only doing the West Coast dates. Bastards.

[paidt0smile]

Oooh, so maybe that means I'll get Anberlin after all. :D :D yay.

Edit. I just saw the dates.

10/22 Cleveland, OH Agora

I do get to see Anberlin. <33

W00t.

The Agora sucks. They are strict as hell about camera. Boo.

[Kassie]

They can do Odessa, TX, but not San Antonio? lol I guess that means nothing to anyone not from TX, but Odessa sucks. haha

[kk822]

lmao I agree with ya Kassie... only I was thinking Odessa and not Houston...

[Kassie]

Odessa is so random! haha I think they have Houston later on in the tour, so you don't have to worry about that. I think I'm going to have to hit the Austin date.

[kk822]

yeah, Odessa is so random. And yeah I'm sure they'll come to Houston later on. Austin's not too far from San Antonio, but maybe if they add a Houston date adding a San Antonio one won't hurt.

[*Juneau*]

Hey! I randomly came across this thread looking for SOTY info about anything pre-Page Avenue. I love the album and the band so I want to hear more, but I can't seem to find a discography on any site that lists any earlier stuff. Can you guys tell me anything about it? The band are only just starting to get noticed in the UK
Cheers :) x

[Kassie]

Page Avenue is SOTY's first full length album. Before they became "Story of the Year" they were called Big Blue Monkey (not kidding lol) and they released an EP. Other than that, you won't find much before that except a few demos of songs from the full length album. :)

[kk822]

if you go to their website http://www.storyoftheyear.net you can read their bio it talks about Big Blue Monkey... its a good bio

Kassie, I told my friend about them playing Odessa and she had the same reaction, lol

[Kassie]

Yeah man..Odessa is just weird. lol San Antonio never gets any loving. And I bet you the people in Odessa are freaking. haha I would.

[LastLaugh]

AHHHHH YESSSSS!!!!!

SAVED!!! Apparently they are not just touring the West Coast after all! I'm so happy I could just throw up right now.

[paidt0smile]

^ That may be a typo, cause on the SOTY board, it says Letter Kills will be opening from 9/18 to 10/9. So who knows cause it says that lostprophets and My Chemical Romance will be support on all dates.. it seems kinda weird to have 4 opening bands. :scratch:

I'm just happy that I get Anberlin. :D

[LastLaugh]

I know it says that. But on the LK site, it lists all the dates, with more to come. So who knows.

[Kassie]

And LK site is not listing all the first leg dates..hmm.

I can't wait til a full official list is released. Too confusing.

[LastLaugh]

Yeah no kidding. Someone clearly has something mixed up. LOL


I can't freaking wait to see my LK boys!!!

[*Juneau*]

Cheers muchly, I'll check the EP out (big blue monkey lol, it was a good name change :laugh: )
Btw Kassie you mentioned not liking Lost Prophets - they've been around a good while and they've changed they're sound with they're more commercial 2nd album but they're first (fake sounds of progress) is wicked - definitely check it out if you haven't, you might change your mind about them!

[BadGirl28]

I agree.. "the fake sound of progress" is 987984734709387296 times better than the stuff they have out now.

[kk822]

I found this at Billboard.com, its old news but a good article...



Story Of The Year Going 'Soft And Pretty'


The third single from rising rock act Story Of The Year's debut Maverick album "Page Avenue" will be "Sidewalks," lead singer Dan Marsala tells Billboard.com. "We're going to go for the soft, pretty song for all the nerds out there," he says with a chuckle. Prior tracks "Anthem of Our Dying Day" and "Until the Day I Die" reached No. 10 and 12, respectively, on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Concepts are still being bounced around for a "Sidewalks" video. "Every idea we came up with cost too much money or was too weird," he says. "We're trying to figure out the right idea for not a lot of money."

Story Of The Year is winding down its stint on the Vans Warped Tour, which Marsala says has allowed him to enjoy some of his favorite bands up-close, including Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag and NOFX. Off-stage craziness has been kept to a minimum, but one particular on-stage incident has kept the band laughing for weeks.

"During the first song one day, [guitarist] Ryan [Phillips] jumped and did some dumb kick but he split his pants," Marsala says. "The whole bottom split in half. He doesn't wear underwear. So he threw his guitar down and ran offstage in the middle of the song. In the middle of the next song, he shows back up with different pants. He just took off running; he ran all the way back to the bus and ran back to the stage. I know the crowd didn't know exactly why he left!" :blueeek: :laugh:

As previously reported, Story Of The Year will take a month off after Warped before headlining the second Nintendo Fusion Tour. Some work, but mostly relaxation, will likely dominate the downtime, the band's first in nearly a year-and-a-half.

"We might start writing a little bit," Marsala says. "But after the Nintendo tour, we'll start writing for the next album. We have a couple of things we're working on, but we'll probably just hang out and relax."

"Until the Day I Die" can be heard in the trailer for the forthcoming Billy Bob Thornton film "Friday Night Lights," which arrives Oct. 15 in U.S. theaters. "This is our first actual song in a movie," Marsala says. "And it's not like 'Lizzie McGuire' so it's cool. I'm a big Billy Bob Thornton fan."

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

Dan got married too? I read that on the LJ community...who knew?!?!?

And I found a Cincinnati date!!! November 11th at Bogarts...count me in!

[Kassie]

I was just about to post that too. lol

Dan and Adam are the two married men now.

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

Isn't Phil married? Or does he just have a kid? I saw a woman with a kid onstage at Warped in Indianapolis that appeared to be with him.

[Kassie]

Phil is divorced, but that probably was his kid. I know it's from his previous marriage.

[Kassie]

And awww..

http://tinypic.com/3rha1

Mark (one their merch dudes who also is possibly one of the funniest/nicest guys ever) with Dan after their dance together at the wedding reception. lol

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

Ahhhhh...ok.

[LastLaugh]

Adorableness.

OMG How could I possibly have not known that Dan was married. I am so confused now LOL

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

He just got married this past weekend, so it's OK!

[LD_Punk20]

Dude S.O.T.Y freaking kicks major a$$.....I love them.... ;) Their album is awesome...I love it! I agree though....buying albums puts a big dent in your wallet...LoL!!

:noway: Ya'll aren't the only ones who didn't now he was married! :scratch: I missed that one...LoL


LeAnn

[LastLaugh]

Oh okay thanks Stacy! Aww everyone's married. Depressing. LOL

[Kassie]

Whoa, I had to look deep down for this thread. This deserves to be bumped back up in the midst of all these irrevelant "Benji is marrying my dog and Joel is dating Oprah" threads. F that.

Soty AOL sessions will be airing today (Saturday) at 2:30pmET on FUSE.

Other air dates can be found here. http://www.musicstation.com/cgi-bin/rotv/rotv_cgi?search_type=artist_exact&sort_by=artist&type=tv&search=223902

Check it out.

[kk822]

thanks Kassie! They showed it the other day and I recorded because I couldn't watch... so I guess I'll have to record again today because I won't be home at that time...

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

I wish I had FUSE. :(

I can't wait to see them again.

[Kassie]

I missed it on Monday too!

But right now they also have a marathon of all the AOL sessions they've showed on Fuse. teehee.

[LastLaugh]

I watched it the other night! Good stuff of course :)
I can't wait to see them on Wednesday!!

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

You're seeing them THIS Wednesday? That's f**ked up how they went from here, to east coast then back to here again...then again, I guess they do live in St. Louis, so that makes sense them coming back this way. I can't wait to see them...always a freaking good time.

[LastLaugh]

It'd be nice to meet them at some point.... but no luck yet. Annoying.

[kk822]

You're seeing them THIS Wednesday? That's f**ked up how they went from here, to east coast then back to here again....

woah crazy 'cuz then on Saturday they'll be here in Houston...

[Don'tAskMeWhy]

I guess they go south then before they get back here to the midwest...the show I think I'm going to is on the 10th.

[kk822]

they're playing at a festival here.... I'm not gonna see them though... the pit tickets were $80 (end up being about $90 after all the charges), which is a bit too pricey for my roomate and I right now. MCR is gonna be there to tho... blah, I wish the tickets were less expensive for the pit.
