Byzantine writes about tour life with Shadows Fall/Agnostic Front

The modern thrashing attack of Byzantine is sharing stages all over America with Shadows Fall and Agnostic Front. Tony wrote down a few thoughts about the said tour. Here is what he had to say:

"Hey Everyone. Tony here. Thought I might let you know how the Shadows Fall tour went. It went great! I gotta say the guys in Shadows Fall are just plain good people. They hooked us up with food and stuff whenever they could because they knew we didn't have any rider for this tour.

We started off playing our own show at 123 Pleasant St. in Morgantown. Huge props to Morgantown! We sold the place out again! Awesome! We had the next day off so we watched WVU win a basketball game then got real drunk. Tuesday we drove to Kent, Ohio and played a show with Beyond the Embrace and Green Carnation. Both bands we're great. Green Carnation is from Norway and write some great songs. Just damn good songs.

Wednesday was our first date with SF at Toads in New Haven. Nice venue. Other than my amp blowing up, it was a good show. We met the other touring bands there as well: Still Remains and Agnostic Front. Still Remains are some great guys. The legendary Agnostic Front are awesome to hang out with as well. Vinnie had some great stories and these guys are hardcore legends who've been at it for 25 years!

Thursday we drove to Providence, RI but the show was cancelled due to snow. We tried to drive out of there and only got about ten miles down the road before we had to stop and get a hotel due to the snow. Friday was Allentown PA. The traffic sucked! All the bands were late! The show rocked though. We got a killer pit which is rare for the first band.

Saturday we were in Long Island, NY at the Crazy Donkey. This was another good show. We seem to making new friends at all these places which is the name of the game I guess. Sunday we were in Poughkeepsie, NY. Again, it was a good show. We had a pit again. We said our goodbye's got some free merch and rolled 12 hours back home for work and that boring stuff.

Here's what we learned this tour:

Agnostic Front are funny as hell Shadows Fall are nice ass guys with absolutely no attitudes A deli tray can feed 6 people for approximately 2 days Winter is cold as hell in an RV. Some of us have some serious allergy problems and should always take Vitamin C. Metallica Ron works like hell.
Thanks,

Tony"
