The Birthday Massacre is one of those bands that make you wonder why they aren’t playing on the radio like they deserve to be. Forget Britney Spears. Forget Fergie. They hold nothing on this Alternative/Electronica band that has songs that people can actually relate to, with sounds that pay tribute to the 80′s in every way, shape, and form. My favorites are definitely Video Kid and Violet, but there are plenty of other tracks that are memorable and catchy. Check out their myspace page for music samples!

The U.S. tour shall be starting up shortly, beginning on January 16th at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla., and running through March 30th in Vancouver, B.C. Nate Mendel, the Foo Fighter’s bassist, explains that they feel the fans in the United States feel neglected, especially when the Fighters had been concentrating so much overseas.

For this tour they’ll be bringing in a second stage for an acoustic band to play along with their regular rock show, a change to certainly be welcomed for hardcore fans who’ll be able to enjoy the concert all the more.

I’ll be sure to keep you updated on future tour dates and locations of the Foo Fighters as they promote their latest album, “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace”.
