IWRESTLEDABEARONCE Kick Off North American Tour

You wanted the best, well this is what you get! Here they are, the Gene Simmons endorsed and pride and joy of Shreveport, Louisiana, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, who exploded into the Billboard Top 200 charts at #121 earlier this month with their debut album, It's All Happening are set to kick off their North American tour with a bang. In support of the new album, which also scored the #1 slot on the Billboard Heatseakers chart, the band will kick off the holiday weekend with a massive party in their hometown as they headline the 516 Soundstage Club in Shreveport, LA. Following the blowout, Iwrestledabearonce will embark on a week-long headlining stint which leads them directly into a summer trek across the continent with August Burns Red, Bless The Fall, Enter Shikari and All Shall Perish. This run kicks off on July 10th and goes through August 22nd and feel free to head over to www.myspace.com/iwabo to view their complete itinerary.

Steven (guitars) further talks about all of the band's upcoming activities: "We are playing our first hometown show in over a year on July 3rd, so it's going to be a glorious weekend! The next day, we are having a huge BBQ with all our friends, and plan to get wasted and light stuff on fire. Then we head out to play a few shows on the way to the ABR tour! We are really excited for this tour because it's hitting some of our favorite places to play, as well as some cities we've never been to before. Getting to meet new people in new places rules, so it will definitely be an amazing experience with some awesome bands. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend the summer months! So break out the short shorts and let's freakin' party it up. We hope to see all you sexy people soon."

Saying that IWRESTLEDABEARONCE (IWABO) make music that turns heads is a real understatement. Somehow IWABO's spastic blending of genres maintains a cohesive sound that draws in listeners from many musical worlds. Love it or hate it - as long as they get a strong reaction to their music, the members of this band will feel that they have done their duty.

The IWABO overall aesthetic is all things radical. They are heading down a trail they are blazing themselves - with twists and turns of their own creation. Due to their powerful live show and commitment to making sure every single fan knows how much they are truly appreciated, the more people exposed to the IWABO experience, the more new fans they will amass.
