System Of A Down Announces Guerilla Club Tour
Date: 2005-04-26 Artist: System Of A Down Category: Upcoming Tours
With the release of ³Mezmerize,² Disc One of the 2-disc set
"Mezmerize/Hypnotize" confirmed for May 17, System Of A Down kick off
a whirlwind 10-city guerilla club tour tonight (April 25th) in San
Francisco at the Fillmore.
Denver on April 27 at the Odgen Theatre, Dallas on April 29 at The
Granada and the Music Hall in Austin on April 30 have also been
announced; San Francisco and Austin, the only two shows that have
gone on sale, were sold out as fast as transactions could take place.
Additional cities and venues and all other pertinent details will be
announced immediately prior to the actual dates via the band's
website. The tour will be "An Evening With System Of A Down," and
will be the band's first North American tour since 2002. The shows
will be scaled-back, basic and raw, with the focus put squarely on
the music and energy.
"We wanted to play shows in the kind of small venues that we used to
before we were signed, before our first album came out," said
guitarist/vocalist Daron Malakian. "We want to create an environment
that is just one big party, not the band on stage separated from our
fans in the audience. We're very excited about making this happen."
System Of A Down is expected to debut some of the new songs from
"Mezmerize/Hypnotize," including the first single, "B.Y.O.B." already
a Top 10 single at rock radio, and "Cigaro," the track that leaked
over the internet. They will also play favorites from their three
previous Platinum-certified albums, "Toxicity," "Steal This Album!"
and "System of a Down."
The Guerrilla Club Tour follows last night's System's "Soul's 2005"
sold-out benefit concert held at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los
Angeles that commemorated the Armenian Genocide.
