Alkaline Trio confirmed for Warped

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Monday, March 19, 2007 at 1:50 PM (EDT)

After the band earlier disputed reports that they'd participate in this year's trek, the currently unsigned yet wildly popular Alkaline Trio have come to an agreement with the Warped Tour and have announced a little over a week of dates on the summer festival. The band will be on the tour from July 28th through August 7th.

The band remains unsigned after their label V2 refocused their business earlier this year. They continue to work on their new album as free agents, with both a new label and release details expected to be confirmed later this year.

The band released Remains their compilation of non-album b-sides, covers and other favorites earlier this year.

AndyPonch (March 19, 2007)

Great. While I'd really like to see Alkalline Trio this year, I'll pass as I'm not in the bullshit surrounding going to the Warped Tour. $10 bottles of water, the obligatory shirtless sweaty fat guy randomly rubbing up against you, back of the neck staining hair dye running from newly "parent-approved" punk do's, way to enthsiastic merch people, punk parents who were soccer parents less than 3 hours before hand.....no thanks.

mikeinflames (March 19, 2007)

you are so punk.

Thus_Spoke_Sean (March 19, 2007)

hahaha. so what you are saying is that you are more concerned with the image of the other people there, than with seeing bands you 'like' hahahaha

Someone (March 19, 2007)

haha, yea you know punks hate music.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Love the music, hate the kids.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

You know I thought punk was a sub-culture. He made some good points, stop trying to make yourself feel all high and mighty.

mattbeall (March 19, 2007)

I totally agree. Warped Tour is way way more an exploitation of "punk culture" than a part of it. I think it's a shame that punk bands like Bad Religion play on it. I guess it's a gray area, but I'm sure as fuck not pumping any money into the thing regardless of some bands I like being involved. Roooaarr, angry punk++.

Torgo (March 19, 2007)

Tickets are $25 and water is like $3, but you know, might as well stretch the truth because zomgzzz underoath isnt punx but i am up teh punx!! fuk warped and coporashuns!!!!1

JustLikeDelilah (March 19, 2007)

You know it's.......

SAD BUT TRUEEEEEEEEE!!

DUN DUN DUN DUN Twiddly Twiddly Waaahhh DUN DUN DUN DUN Twiddly Twiddly Waaaaaaah

Someone (March 19, 2007)

so good! i dnt know why but i laughed so hard at this

Someone (March 19, 2007)

u singing the metallica song?

Someone (March 19, 2007)

yeah cuz 3 dollars for water isnt ridicolous

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Who pays for water? Jesus, they GIVE IT AWAY! Find the tent with the coolers filled with ice, free water!

Torgo (March 19, 2007)

In NJ they have hoses you can fill your water bottle up with and in NY there's a water tank for everyone.

shrednaked (March 19, 2007)

That's sanitary

Torgo (March 20, 2007)

And free.

AndyPonch (March 19, 2007)

If former major label musicians like Paul Westerberg and Evan Dando have moved to Vagrant, perhaps Alkaline Trio should just go back. It would probably make more sense than say Warner Brothers.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

their guarantee is a million dollars.

JayTee (March 19, 2007)

I suppose I could riff a list of things I care as little about as this. Let's see: low-carb diets, Michael Moore, the Republican National Convention, Kabbalah and all Kabbalah-related products, high definition TV, the Bush daughters, wireless
hot spots, 'The O. C.,' the U.N., recycling, getting Punk'd, Danny Gans; the Latin Grammys, the real Grammys, Jeff the Wiggle that sleeps a lot, the Yankees payroll, the red states, the blue states, every hybrid car, every talk show host, everything on the planet, everything in the solar system, and everything that exists, past, present and future in all discovered and undiscovered dimensions. Oh, and Hugh Jackman

DrDeath (March 19, 2007)

that guy's got a HUGE ACKMAN!

Someone (March 19, 2007)

i hope no one ever gets you confused with the real jay tea.

JayTee (March 19, 2007)

Real Jay Tea?

Someone (March 19, 2007)

myspace.com/jaytea

JayTee (March 19, 2007)

So thats the bastards who took that /name! Boooooo.

sickboi (chris) (March 19, 2007)

Don't you EVER talk shit on high definition TV again.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

word

giant_robot (March 19, 2007)

or danny gans...

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Scrubs much?

JayTee (March 19, 2007)

I'm violently addicted.

Torgo (March 19, 2007)

And at the end of the very last scene I'm gonna put Dr. Acula on the screen, get that period out of there, squish it together and it will say.... Dracula....

JayTee (March 19, 2007)

Haha, Dr. Jan Itor!

foxfire (March 19, 2007)

he was wolverine!

nina_d (March 19, 2007)

and yet you managed to write a fucking book

JayTee (March 19, 2007)

I Copy and Pasted a Scrubs Quote.

Thought I'd clear that up before 10 more (always ironic) "and yet you spent the time to....." comments are made.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

the pilfers are reforming for an nyc show

Thus_Spoke_Sean (March 19, 2007)

fuck yeah! details?

Someone (March 19, 2007)

3 floor of ska show @ knitting factory may 6

Someone (March 19, 2007)

SERIOUS?

Blue Meanies playing some shows in Chicago, Pilfers in NYC, why not tour and bring it out west coast?

MN_punkmaster-skaman (March 19, 2007)

Well there's one more band added to the Minneapolis date I'll probably be seeing.

Alkaline Trio
Bad Religion
Big D and the Kids Tabe
the Fabulous Rudies
Pepper
Tiger Army
the Toasters
the Unseen

........still wish there are more bands than that.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

How did Pepper remotely make anybody's list of bands to see?

Someone (March 19, 2007)

The chicks

Someone (March 19, 2007)

I'd rather see Pepper than Coheed or Underoath or whatever crap like that.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Shit, first it was said that they were leaving two dates before coming to Boston. Now they're not joining until one date after Boston? Fuck you guys...

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Oh, wait. I was thinking that the date was on my birthday...

Dante3000 (rich) (March 19, 2007)

So...Lyman did mean it when he said more ska than you've seen in years.
-Dante

WarIsPeace (March 19, 2007)

Actually Dante, you're mistaken. Although some of its members have been in previous ska/punk bands, Alkaline Trio is not a ska band. Kevin Lyman is a liar.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Obviously you don't understand sarcasm.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

you kind of put your foot in your mouth there

Someone (March 19, 2007)

No speak English.

WarIsPeace (March 19, 2007)

I was also being sarcastic. Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand sarcasm.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Or could it in fact be you?

Someone (March 19, 2007)

I agree (no sarcasm intended).

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Lame band joins a lame tour.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

any guesses on their next label?

make mine Epitaph.

MrStylson (March 19, 2007)

That wouldn't make any sense. Epitaph has been working so hard on getting rid of their good bands lately. Mr. Brett won't jump ship mid-stream.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

the hard work paid off for them, most of the good bands are gone and a crop of unlistenable ones have risen to the occasion and taken their place, raping the Epitaph name of all its dignity and credibility

Someone (March 19, 2007)

major, no matter what they say
its already done

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Fat Wreck has this one in the bag, Mike will spend the $$$ Epitaph wont.

BlackAndre (March 20, 2007)

They are past their prime...so naturally, Side One Dummy.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

The new Kaiser Chiefs record is up on MySpace! Way cooler than the Alkaline Gayo!

http://www.myspace.com/kaiserchiefs

GIT OUTTA PUNX!

NoControl (March 19, 2007)

boring ass band.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Kaiser Cheifs fucking suck...that song Ruby is probably the biggest load of horseshit I have ever had the misfortune of hearing.

-Matt Skiba

Someone (March 19, 2007)

i've heard the new album. it's good.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

the vinyl release for their new album will be on asian man

daved4 (March 19, 2007)

lame .. they get off 4 days before my date.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

i used to like a3,but they are a bunch of internet fags now

Someone (March 19, 2007)

What's with calling A3 "wildly popular"? Did they even break 200K on their latest release?

AndyPonch (March 19, 2007)

Judging by attendance at some of the shows I went to, yeah, they're pretty damn popular.

Someone (March 19, 2007)

Strength in NUMBERS, dont support this over priced SHITFEST called Warped Tour
Give it to Lyman where it hurts the most his pocket book!

Someone (March 20, 2007)

Oh, and up the punx.

Can't forget that.

Someone (March 20, 2007)

$200,000 a show

Someone (March 20, 2007)

warped tour is cool but abit over priced
sometimes worth it sometimes not

dont argue over it. who cares.

Someone (March 20, 2007)

oh yea
your all idiots
