Melee and Quietdrive make me happy...

Have a contest where a winner in each stop on the tour gets to sumo wrestle the big dude in BFS.

Nothing I have is confirmed, but I would imagine they'll play Ventura since that's Army of Freshmen's hometown, and there will almost undoubtedly be an L.A. show. That's the best I can tell you now.

Dates should be coming out soon, since they're announcing the bands for the UK leg in June. I'm going to see if we can have the first crack at announcing them.

And anyone who has not checked out Army of Freshmen, I highly recommend them if you're into powerpop. They're also some of the nicest guys I've met in the music industry (as are the guys in BFS).

Haha. Ticket giveaways will definitely happen. The bands have already come up with some great ideas as far as meet & greets and events go for this tour even before they asked us to help. So there will definitely be opportunities for people to hit up the shows for free.

I hope BFS bring Quietdrive on the UK leg.

Awesome news. I went to the tour last year and it was a great time. The line up, in my opinion, isn't quite as good this time around, but you really can't lose when you see BFS.

EDIT: Oh, and have some contest where the oldest fan (not just a parent, an actual fan) in the crowd wins something. My mom is a huge BFS fan. Equally embarrassing and awesome.

this is awesome. all these bands make me happy :]

lol

Well, last year was Lucky Boys Confusion and Punchline in the middle slots. Melee is definitely an upgrade over both (people rave about their live show, and I'm really digging their new CD), and Quietdrive is up-and-coming. They still need a little work on the live show, but so did Punchline last year. I do promise you that there will be more of an "event" feel to the tour this year as opposed to just the bands playing the show and hanging out.

play at smaller venues
Smaller meaning the modern exchange in south gate Michigan.
that would be amazing

I wasn't trying to take a dig at the band or the line up this year; just personal preference. I absolutely love Punchline, so I wasn't expecting them to be topped. LBC are great and put on a good show. Melee just bores me. Quietdrive, from what I've heard, sound pretty good. I'll still be there, of course.
