Monday kicked off the new Viva La Bands tour for CKY, with the first stop being Rams Head in Baltimore, MD. I attended the event to hang out with my buddies. Despite equipment issues with Deron’s amp, the first show went great. After the show we hung out on the tour bus, checked out some material they are working on and Matty Cole told some funny tour stories. I also got to meet the keyboardist for Clutch, another great rock band who originated in Germantown, MD.

If you are unfamiliar with the band, here are two music videos of theirs. “Sink into the Underground” and “Close Yet Far” (respectively), both off of their 2003 release “Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild”.

Their new album (to be titled) is due in early 2008.

Sink into the Underground:

Close Yet Far:

For those of you on the Delmarva Peninsula, CKY will be coming around again on October 31st for a show at the Electric Factory, in Philadelphia, PA.
