“If you don’t ask you don’t get” right? Well they asked and you replied with punk rock volume!
ALKALINE TRIO wanted to make their headline shows in the UK next month really special and what better way than asking the fans what they want to hear? We are ecstatic to reveal that after voting aplenty, this July in Glasgow, Bristol and Liverpool, Alkaline Trio will play ‘FROM HERE TO INFIRMARY’ live and in full. The third album from the US three piece, ‘From Here to Infirmary’ was released in 2001 and is a true classic; from the soaring melodies and singalong choruses of opener ‘Private Eye’ and anthem ‘Stupid Kid’, to the rockier edge of closing track ‘Crawl’, this album is a self-confessed turning point for the band.
Matt Skiba, Alkaline Trio said: “We wish to thank all the fans for casting their votes to see ‘From Here to Infirmary’ live and in its entirety! It being the record that broke us over there and coupled with it being our favourite record to play live makes it a win/win for all of us!”
Alkaline Trio has created some of punk rock’s most memorable songs and is one of the genres mostprogressive and unique bands, with their infectious punk hooks and darkly dramatic tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
As previously announced, LAGWAGON and STRUNG OUT are also coming along for the ride, bringing their action packed live show to the stage. 2014 was an important year for Lagwagon with the release of their first studio album in nine years, ‘Hang’. The new material was made for the live arena and for a band that once played 284 shows in a year, their performance and energy is a force to be reckoned with.
Strung Out formed in California in 1989 and in a decade the band released seven albums. It’s been a long six year wait for their eighth release but boy has it been worth it! The band is finally back on the road with the new album ‘Transmission Alpha Delta’.
Full line up for these dates is as follows:
Tuesday 7th July – O2 ABC Glasgow
Alkaline Trio + Lagwagon
Wednesday 8th July – O2 Academy Bristol
Alkaline Trio + Lagwagon + Strung Out
Thursday 9th July – O2 Academy Liverpool
