Hey all (take it easy on me as this is my first blog)! I am really excited to let you guys in on a little news about an upcoming tour that we are stoked to be a part of. Between The Buried And Me who have taken the pledge to be veg as well as their "Vegans Shred Harder" PSA are going on tour in January.

So when they asked us to help spread the word of their upcoming tour in January, we couldn't be happier! They are heading out with metal legends Cynic, The Devin Townsend Band and Scale The Summit. It will be going ALL across the US, so you really have no excuse to not get out and support these shredding vegans in Between The Buried and Me. For those of you that have never heard the band, just imagine playing your favorite guitar video game, on expert with your eyes closed. That's how good these dudes are.

For show info, songs from their new record The Great Misdirect (which is AWESOME by the way), and a ton of other information check out their MySpace and become informed.

If you do go out to one of the shows, let us know how it was or even better tell the guys in Between The Buried and Me that peta2 sent you. They love to hear that fellow animal lovers support their music and their cause. Don't sleep on buying your tickets early, this will sell out!

It's 9:30, Do You Know Where To Go In Washington, DC? September 1, 2009

Okay, so it's really not 9:30 unless you're actually reading this at 9:30. I'm writing again to share my love for yet another venue, and this one happens to be in one of my favorite cities in the United States—Washington, DC. The 9:30 Club is one of the most 'happening' places in DC and has featured bands like Cobra Starship, Bayside, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Between The Buried And Me on their stage. Not only do they bring some of the best bands to DC but they happen to have a kitchen that offers one helluva vegan chili!

If you live in/near Washington, DC, and would like to help the peta2 DC Street Team out at events at the 9:30 Club, make sure you join the Street Team, and drop us a line at peta2@peta2.com!

SXSW Recap March 19, 2008

Hello all! So last week Lara and I spent our time in the ultra relaxing Austin, Texas, for the super low-key and laid-back SXSW festival. Sense a bit of sarcasm there, folks? Wow what a crazy week...what a crazy week indeed!

We co-hosted a party with our good friends over at Victory Records and I was able to catch up with The Audition and Between The Buried And Me, who both played the party.

I also got to meet up with the darling Shawn, from The Matches, for a scrumptious little vegan dinner. The Matches have just released a brand new album, A Band In Hope, so be sure to check it out!



I also got to catch up with the sweetie Pouyan from SKSK, this year's winner of the "Best Newcomer" Libby Award. Wow do those guys put on one of hell of a live show!



So that, m'dears, is just a brief recap of some of the brouhaha that went down in Austin. Oh wait, there is one more pic I want to share:



Cheers!

BTBAM CD Giveaway September 18, 2007

Posted by Nicole at September 18, 2007 1:48 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 17 ) | TrackBack Three vegans in one band...what more could a person ask for? Well how about if that aforementioned band, named Between the Buried and Me, was releasing a new album and peta2 and Victory Records were giving you ten chances to nab a copy? Agreed that most certainly does sweeten the pot.

So the three vegan boys I mentioned above go by the names of Tommy Rogers, Dan Briggs, and Paul Waggoner, all of who posed for an adorable peta2 vegetarian ad, which you folks can check out here. Our friends Tommy, Dan, Paul, and the rest of BTBAM, are releasing their fifth album, Colors, and did I mention that you guys have ten chances to win a copy...holy hell, yes, I said ten!

Whenever I talk of these hardcore North Carolinians—and I can't forget to highlight that Dan helps to represent my home state of PA—I feel the need to share that BTBAM succeeded at one of the most difficult tasks in music—covering a Queen song. In BTBAM's 2006 release, The Anatomy Of, the guys covered "Bicycle Race". Tommy succeeded at the unthinkable by following in the footsteps of arguably the best voice of all-time, the late-great Freddie Mercury. I must admit that I was skeptical at first, but when I heard it, I was literally blown away! That is my story about BTBAM. Did everyone enjoy?
