“There’s a new 2 page Madina Lake interview (with Matthew and Dan) in the new issue of Black Velvet (it’s pre-Mateo leaving, so excuse that fact, the issue was sent to the printers before Mateo’s departure was announced). Plus a review of the Birmingham UK show on the last tour. There’s also an interview with The Super Happy Fun Club who were one of the supports and are friends of ML.

Ahoy to all reading humans, here is what lies ahead in the ever twisting realm of Madina Lake:
New Single & Music Video
We shot a video for our next single, with director Greg Kaplan, and will be announcing it and its release date in the coming week. We intend it to be a worldwide release and we’ll let you know the moment that we do. This is by far our favorite video to date and to us, one of the most important songs that we’ve ever written. The song comes from our album World War III, which is on sale at AmazonMP3 for only $5 the entire month of January.
Japan
We are in Japan today, where we will be performing an in-store at Tower Records in Shibuya. Tomorrow, at Club Quattro, we are performing World War III from start to finish. This show is January 11th. At this show, we will be hosting an after party meet and greet where we are giving away a lot of special Madina items (i.e. stage clothes from the first 2 record cycles, limited edition vinyl, tour laminates, etc). We will be filming this show for a release as well, considering we will be performing songs that we’ve never played live before and will never play again.
USA
After returning to the US from Japan, we will begin the second leg of the Wake Up! Tour with Me Talk Pretty and Hawthorne Heights, January 17th through mid-February. Don’t forget to RSVP on Facebook if you’re coming out a show!
Australia
On Feb 25th, we are off to Australia for the Soundwave Festival, featuring Van Halen, Limp Bizkit, Dillinger Escape Plan… every ridiculously wonderful band you can think of.
UK
We will be back in the UK this spring! Stay tuned for details…
Mythology
We trust and hope this new year has kicked off in the right manor for you all. We’d like to update our people on the state of our town’s affairs.
At MadinaLake.com you’ll find the link that takes you to the first installment, the “Auspice,” that corresponded with From Them, Through Us, To You . At the end, you’ll be able to click on the next one to take you to “Scorched Earth,” which follows Attics to Eden. Now, the conclusion is underway, as you click through to World War III.
Our idea from the beginning was to unfold this winding tale and conclude it with this release. The whole story was outlined in its entirety since the inception. To our delight, this overly ambitious effort has stayed true to its original objective. Interestingly, some of the elements have actually manifested themselves into our real lives throughout the duration. New pages will be added often until the big ending. At this point, we will reveal all of the clues we left along the way, and explain the meaning of our postulation.
Thank you for staying connected, we hope you enjoy it!
My Passion and The Super Happy Fun Club are supporting Madina Lake at the upcoming November tour in the UK and Europe. So here a little 101 about these bands!
THE SUPER HAPPY FUN CLUB is an unsigned band from Chicago, IL. London is one of the 8 songs from their first album “Go Fun Yourself”. The band is fairly new, so I was not able to find more information about them!
“When our good friends Madina Lake asked us to join the tour, we jumped on the opportunity. In the US, its not often you get asked to do a tour like this. So we are all super excited about going out and meeting our European fans, and really looking forward to the chance to introduce our debut record GO FUN YOURSELF. As the days to Europe countdown, the excitement in our camp continues to build. We can’t wait to see how GO FUN YOURSELF goes down overseas. Seriously, I think Pat is ready to swim across the ocean right now. November (album will be released Nov. 7th in Europe) can’t come soon enough.” source.
Chiodos have dropped off of the forthcoming tour from Madina Lake. While details are pending for the reason for their cancellation, it has been confirmed here that My Passion will be replacing them.
The bill is rounded off by Super Happy Fun Club. – rocksound.tv
