Escape the Fate - Crofoot Ballroom - Sat Feb 28th

ESCAPE THE FATE
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28th 2009
doors at 6pm
tickets: $15 in advance

After honing their skills on the road most recently with Chiodos and Silverstein, Escape the Fate are set to headline their own, 6 week US tour, with a stop at the Crofoot Ballroom on February 28. Tickets for all shows go on sale Saturday December 13. Main support on the tour courtesy of Florida's Black Tide with additional support from Attack Attack, William Control (Aiden) and Burn Halo (ex 18 Visions).

Escape the Fate's recent release This War is Ours has kept the scene buzzing since its release on October 21 via Epitaph Records. Introducing vocalist Craig Mabbit (formerly of Blessthefall) and produced by John Feldmann (the Used, Story of the Year), the new record caused the mighty Buzznet.com to crash when a flurry of fan activity surrounding the release of the first single "The Flood" overwhelmed the social networking giant's servers.

And its only gotten crazier. But while ETF's fans are growing more rabid by the day, the Las Vegas quartet is enjoying a new-found maturity and work-ethic, unusual for a young band that Alternative Press summed up succinctly as "a bunch of kids who went from jamming in a garage to opening for My Chemical Romance to being one of the most popular bands in the scene in 18 months."
