2007 TAKE ACTION! TOUR
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Emery and A Static Lullaby are confirmed to perform during this year's Take Action! Tour. The trek kicks off Feb. 1 at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and runs through late February. Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Kaddisfly are also slated to perform.This tour sounds like it's a really good cause. Everyone should attend. I just recently heard a song from my girlfriend of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, they're pretty good. Make sure to check out the album/dvd as well, it has a lot of bands you'll love.
A two-disc CD/DVD compilation, "Take Action Volume 6," will also be released Feb. 6, with proceeds from the project and the tour to be donated to the Youth America Hotline. The set features previously unreleased material from the Honorary Title ("Untouched & Intact"), So They Say ("Break the Silence"), Crash Romeo ("Life Camp"), Drive By ("Accidents") and the Secret Handshake ("Don't Call").
My Chemical Romance and Rise Against, along with past and present bands from the tour, also contributed. The DVD portion contains music videos from the bands.
Take Action!, now in its sixth year, was founded by Hopeless and Sub City Records to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention initiatives. Past performers have included artists Anti-Flag, Hawthorne Heights, Jimmy Eat World and Thrice. [Billboard]
