Warped plans “acoustic” stage with Kris Roe, Vinnie Caruana, Transit, Koji

Posted by aubin on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 7:00 PM (EST)

This week's Warped Tour announcement is the reveal that the touring festival will include an all-acoustic stage dubbed the Acoustic Basement Stage.

The artists set to appear on the stage (and perform acoustically, obviously) include: Anthony Raneri of Bayside, Kris Roe of The Ataris, Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife and I Am the Avalanche, Transit, A Loss For Words, Into It. Over It., Koji, Owen Plant of The Sunshine Brothers, and Brian Marquis of Therefore I Am.

If you want to see your favorite musicians perform acoustically, it looks like you'll have quite a few options this year. Along with the Warped Tour, Kevin Seconds, Kepi Ghoulie, Vic Ruggiero, and Franz Nicolay will embark on the Arms Aloft Social & Musical Roadshow and Chuck Ragan, Dan Andriano, Cory Branan, Tom Gabel, and Nathaniel Rateliff will soon kick off another annual Revival Tour.

It was either this or make them sell hotdogs

mattramone (March 7, 2012)

It would be unfair to make Kris Roe do his dayjob on tour.

seth_uber_alles (March 7, 2012)

Oh snippity SNAP

ProdigalSon75 (March 8, 2012)

i thought kris roe was still homeless

jimmynorville (March 7, 2012)

Basement Stage?

Portulaca (March 7, 2012)

I was wondering about that too.

sketchyjoe (March 7, 2012)

Warped Tour: Consistently five years behind the latest trends.

mattramone (March 7, 2012)

Orgcore punks: consistently five years ahead of fifteen year old girls when we would much rather be behind them.

kentspaz (March 7, 2012)

8/10

iorek (March 8, 2012)

this is pretty fucking creepy

EnigmaticPsychotic (March 9, 2012)

What's funny is that made me giggle like a 15yo girl.

mattramone (March 7, 2012)

Stoked on this being drowned out by Design the Skyline.

eatdogs (March 8, 2012)

if, by some weird chance, i find myself at a warped tour show this year, i really want to stop by and see those guys. i gotta be a witness for some reason. you know, just so i can say, "i was there." sort of like those people who saw the black eyed peas, icp, six feet under, and eminem on warped tour...

thatguyfromthatband (March 7, 2012)

yeeeeah, still not going to Warped.

pallmallpunch (March 7, 2012)

it should be illegal to wear a fred perry without the top button buttoned.

hayman (March 7, 2012)

It should be illegal for people to wear $90 polo shirts.
Bloody hipsters.

eazyd3 (March 7, 2012)

wrong

hayman (March 7, 2012)

Who's wrong?

eazyd3 (March 7, 2012)

i dont care how many hipster doofuses wear fred perrys, they're still the shit

hayman (March 7, 2012)

Do you pay that much for them? I'd pay up to about $100 for a dress shirt but a polo? Talking about expensive shirts....since when did bands start charging $40 for shirts at shows?

eazyd3 (March 7, 2012)

yes but they are good for work and for dancing.

i dunno? since the us dollar ate shit .. i haven't seen 40 bucks though .... cept maybe mariachi bronx

hayman (March 7, 2012)

Work AND dancing? Now I see the value.
I wish I could get away with polos at work. Damn public service. Hahaha.
I'd probably be happy paying $40 for a Mariachi el Bronx T-shirt but not for Strung Out or Bad Religion.

eazyd3 (March 7, 2012)

maybe cause its sidewave the soundwave dictates prices?

axl09 (March 8, 2012)

Where the hell have you seen a bad religion shirt for 40 dollars?

shenaniganss (March 8, 2012)

Happen to go the sydney sidewave?? Holy shit, the Hifi is a terrible venue. I mean, it looks nice and all, but if there's an emergency BAM 1500 people dead. Plus the sound is better from outside the venue than inside. I feel like bitching.

hayman (March 8, 2012)

Yep, that's where the expensive shirts were.
I've been buying band shirts for years, the kids much have rich parents these days.

skolarx (March 8, 2012)

I saw 45 at a Weezer show probably 7 or 8 years ago

pallmallpunch (March 7, 2012)

Oooooooh I'm so anti-fashion everyone who spends their hard earned money on clothes they like is a hipster.
Eat a dick.

Misanthropee (March 8, 2012)

If you spend 100 bucks on a fucking shirt, you're not a hipster, you're an idiot...

hayman (March 8, 2012)

It's a bit early in the morning for dick eating.
I'm not anti fashion, just anti stupidity. Eazy explained though, it's for work and dancing....That's just like buying 2 $50 shirts, not so bad.

eazyd3 (March 7, 2012)

get fucked

hashbrowns (March 7, 2012)

How would an acoustic Transit set be any different than a regular set?

ubercool (March 7, 2012)

This sounds horrible! "Boring with Egos Stage"?

Problem is I do like I am the Avalanche and Bayside is pretty sweet!

holy_balls (March 7, 2012)

i have a dashboard confessional to make: i don't care about this.

skolarx (March 8, 2012)

Can't wait for that Arms Aloft show in a couple of weeks

baronvonfuckyoustien (March 8, 2012)

and Baronvonfuckyoustien still plans on not attending the warped tour.
