Chimaira Australian tour?

[Atheny]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has heard any news on the Chimarira Australian tour coming up? I saw Chimaira in the 'coming soon' section for the Corner hotel in Melbourne and so know their coming, but haven't been able to find out any info on dates etc.

This would be the first i have heard about it.
A 'Coming soon section' in some pissant melbourne venue doesnt mean Chimaira are coming here dude.

When the 'pissant' venue is the same one that Opeth/Nightwish/Haunted/Dillinger Escape Plan/Devin Townsend/Shadows Fall/Entombed/As I lay Dying and countless other metal bands have played... who all started off in the 'coming soon' section... it does mean it's happening.

The only way this tour isn't happening is if it was confirmed and somehow got cancelled between when it was first confirmed and when the tix were supposed to go on sale. That is a relatively rare occurence. Dimmu Borgir is the last band where that happened in Australia.(they were supposed to tour early 2004... the tour got cancelled the day before tix went on sale)

I'll put it this way.... there is at least a 9/10 chance the tour is happening. Now i just need to know the dates!!

I heard a rumour about a May 26 show at the corner hotel aswell, but at this time, that's all it is, a rumour, theres also a rumour about them coming back in September. Keep checking chimaira.com, when it's official, it'll be on there!

Seeing it's on the coming soon section it means that show is official. But there is often a delay between gigs being confirmed and them being announced to the general public. I guess if they're coming at the end of may then it'll be announced sometime this coming week.

[Atheny]

I just read somewhere else that they heard that the tour was pencilled in but they may be postponing until september. I guess we'll know for sure if there is no official announcement of dates in the next week or so. But at least we know they are planning to come back very soon even if it isn't next month. Will be eagerly awaiting their return...

[Eddie]

they're playing the Advent'Jah festival

[Stigmurderer]

i hope they stop over here.....

[Captain YoYo's]

September sounds good (H)

[Sickness]

I hope they come to Perth and do an all ages show....

[chimaira mark]

we had australia booked for end of may, but since the record is not coming out until the fall, we had to postpone it until september. we are working on that now, it is not confirmed and does not mean we are 100% coming in september, but we are working on it.
we will be doing perth and brisbane this time around.

That's good to hear, because if it was in May, id probably miss it 8-)

[Sickness]

Eagerly anticipating this one.
Fuckin-A, I think I'm going to be like a surfer following the summer around the world when Chimaira tour the east coast. With Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra (please!) concerts :D

[Asphyxiated.]

man, living in new zealand must suck. its like.. the bottom of the world.

[Stigmurderer]

It does it really does.

The Chimaira/Nile tour isn't coming here, sucks for you :D You coming to Melbourne? 'Cos you know I'll be there for fucking sure. And I highly doubt there being a Canberra show.

And who was it that referred to either Australia or New Zealand as the arsehole of the earth?

[Khalifa]

haha, yeah, but you'd be supprised of the amount of bands that have played at the ANU uni bar recently (which is great for me as its a ten min walk away)
However I'd be supprised myself if one of the future ones was Chimaira!

And as for the Melbourne show, your daughter is planing to have some kind of event/trouble/trauma to prevent you from attending.

[Sepultallica9]

Hahaha, fuck you man :) I'll be there, even if I have to bring her with me hahaha.

[Khalifa]

I suppose you could strap her to your back, it would even up with the other hump you allready have there.
haha.

Seriously though, she will cause problems.
:D

[ChimairaFan88]

is chimaira still on for september i hope so

[Captain YoYo's]

I think they're on tour in the US then.

[Eddie]

they've got official dates til november

[stigmurder_mx]

i was fucken front row last time and ill be there again fucken cant wait. best fucken live bend i swear dude they fucken owwwned.

i cant believe i missed the haunted i had no idea they fucken played fucken hell my life is over.

[Sepultallica9]

They have tours until the end of October, and I dare say they'll hit Europe after that, seeing as they've only done two festivals and three small club shows this year. So I'm not expecting them to be here until next year.

Orsom....i'll be back in australia for the shows again....they kicked some ass at sounds of the underground last week....they really got the crowd going because Clutch played before Chimaira/LoG and the crowd pissed off (seriously, who put that shitty jam band on the bill?) but chimaira consumed everyone and tee'd it all up for LoG to destroy all.

Hopefully get to have a few beers with em again too

[Sepultallica9]

If you come to the next Melbourne show, I'll buy you a nice cold Aussie beer.

I remember talking to you about a video from the last show, do you have it?

[S-E-V-E-R-E-D]

I do have the videos at home (in Cairns, QLD)....the hard drive i brought over here only had my music an stuff on it.....but remind me when i get home and i'll send them all to you for sure

[Sepultallica9]

Yeah, no worries man, lemme know when you get back.

[Eddie]

im gonna bomb sydney and melbourne so bands decide to go to brisbane instead

[Captain YoYo's]

They'll probably play Hobart or Alice Springs then!

[RoS]

Hobart? I doubt it, no metal band will every fucking come here to play and the only ones worth mentioning would be AC/DC who played here ages ago and Tassie's own local band Pyscroptic who I have seen a couple of times.

When they do return I'll be going to the melbourne gig and will be up for meeting some folks off here!!!

[StMoolah]

Fuck Brisbane.

[Eddie]

why because we have drinkable tap water?

[EvilPie]

errrrm NewZealand please... :(

[StMoolah]

Ive tasted Brisbane water. Its most ucky.

[Captain YoYo's]

Drinking Sydney water is awesome, you get to say "ah! the taste of Warragamba"!

Oh btw Todd, Kyth is moving to St George soon, so you can stop hating on Brisbane...........

J/K

[StMoolah]

Dont joke about Kyth moving here.

[Captain YoYo's]

I think it would do us all good to have a celebrity in the neighborhood!

[StMoolah]

He wouldnt survive one day in Sydney.

[Khalifa]

Sydney water is rated as the best tape water in the world.
Apart from the virus problems a few years back, its quality is globaly unsurpassable.

Oh, and who one the last state of origin, was it the blues?

[Sepultallica9]

Come on people, no need to get personal. We all know NSW people are up themselves and think the world revolves around Sydney, and that Queensland is just full of braindead dicks. And both like Rugby. 'Nuff said.

:biggrin:

(All in the name of fun people, please do not take this seriously.)

[Khalifa]

Rugby Union has its roots as an upper class sport played in private schools - and is also followed by a higher proportion of high society than any other sport.

Say, look at the history of England (and current, as well as current day Australia), soccer is for commoners, and rugby is mainly played and followed by those with more sophistication and wealth from the better schools and areas. And as for that shite aerial ping pong of a sport AFL, lets not even go there, eh?

[Sepultallica9]

You have issues with taking things too seriously dude. In the time you've known me, how often have I been serious? :-)

[Coza]

lol parkway drive is doing a national tour and they are going to tassie, perth and all these ridiculous places like my university heh.

[StMoolah]

Fucking Parkway.
The world doesnt revolve around Sydney. Its just that everybody outside of Sydney is just jelous.
AFL. Dont make me laugh.

[Eddie]

kyth rules

but the kid might as well wear a tanktop, he doesnt seem to like sleeves

[Captain YoYo's]

He'd survive, do him good to see places like Auburn and Bankstown ;) haha

[sixsicsix]

what about sydney?

chimaira must come to sydney, or blood will flow through pitt st.

[Eddie]

they can only tour australia if the album does well here

[Khalifa]

what makes you think I was taking it so seriously?
damnit...
When do I ever do anything but fuck around on online forums, seriously serious nick, you DO know me.

[StMoolah]

Bands ALWAYS play in Sydney.
Sydney is the Metal capital of Australia.

[Khalifa]

I'd go one step further and say it should simply be the capital, I mean, 2000 was the "best olmypics ever", clearly Melbourne has nothing!
Meaning there is no real need for Canberra, where I currently am...
:P

[StMoolah]

ahahahha.

[Sepultallica9]

Bands ALWAYS play in Sydney.
Sydney is the Metal capital of Australia.

They always play in Sydney because it's the biggest city, and therefore has the biggest potential for decent crowds, and therefore decent money. Melbourne almost always gets shows as well because it's not that much smaller than Sydney, and it's less than an hour's flight away. Don't gimme that metal capital crap. :-)

[Captain YoYo's]

No city in Australia is metal!

[Eddie]

:P
the only point for canberra is that terrorists will be too turned off about how much a hole canberra is that they wont bother bombing the parliament house

[StMoolah]

I beg to differ.
Mel&Bris has a bigger HC trend. Where Sydney is Metahl.

[Eddie]

sydney is the biggest city, melbourne is the second biggest. not sure why adelaide gets favoured over brisbane though

[StMoolah]

Its because of the Brisbane venue laws.

[Captain YoYo's]

I beg to differ.
Mel&Bris has a bigger HC trend. Where Sydney is Metahl.
Melbourne has a bunch of godfathers shooting each other!

Brisbane has Kyth, and you are jealous of him, which is why you have a distaste towards it!

Sydney is a multicultural slum, full of pill poppers and baby rapists!

Adelaide has that David Hicks guy.

Perth has inbreds....

Other cities... bah, i'm drunk, can't be fucked explaining...

[StMoolah]

You mean when your drunk you become even stupider?
I can see how you never finished your SC

[Captain YoYo's]

My lack of intellegence only played a small part in never completing it. I blame Bob Carr and the ALP for fucking up the public transport in this city, not to mention the shitty education system.

[StMoolah]

Blaming others is weak dude.
Especially since the public transport has NEVER been good in this state.

[Captain YoYo's]

Yeah, but it got much worse early last year. It usually took me about 20-30 minutes to get from Revesby to Kogarah, but as of Febuary 2004, it took more like 2 hours, fuck that. Also, my TAFE teachers constantly lied to me, they begged me not to quit, convinced me I would suceed, when I clearly wouldn't. You go to TAFE right now, so i'm sure you can agree, that they only try to make things as difficult as possible for you. ;)

[StMoolah]

ahahahahahahaha oh yeah. Except my teachers dont give a shit if i leave or stay.
IT is different my friend
