 A
July 12 performance at The Roxy in Los
Angeles highlights the newly expanded in
progress U.S. tour by FILTER
in connection with their compelling new
album
ANTHEMS
FOR THE DAMNED
(Pulse
Recordings) and single “Soldiers of
Misfortune.”
The Roxy
show is a special intimate friends and
family performance-- Los Angeles is
FILTER leader Richard Patrick’s adopted
hometown--and a limited number of
tickets will be made available to the
general public.
The newly
announced dates run from 7/7-7/12 in the
Southwest and feature special guests
Opiate for the Masses and The Urgency.
FILTER’s U.S. tour began in New York
City on May 13, the day
the Josh Abraham-produced ANTHEMS
FOR THE DAMNED--their
first album in five years--was
released. After performing in America
through June 2, the band headed overseas
for two festival dates--MTV Rock in Park
(Nurnburg, German) and Rock am Ring (Nurnburgring,
Germany)--and a headlining show at
London's Islington Academy.
On the road,
FILTER will perform songs from the new
album--including the first single and
video “Soldiers of Misfortune,” hailed
by the New York Post as a
“soaring and emotional song”--with the
band’s classics like “Hey Man, Nice
Shot” and “Take A Picture.”
The
response to the band’s
performances--their first in six
years--has been enthusiastic.
“…Patrick’s performance was inspired”
noted the BOSTON HERALD (6/2),
while the BOSTON GLOBE (6/3)
praised the “fine set” and the BOSTON
MUSIC SPOTLIGHT (6/5) said “one set
that did prove to be worthwhile was that
of Filter, the recently resurrected
rockers led by frontman Richard Patrick.
Backed by a new look 4-piece band,
Patrick sounded excellent and rocked
with energy…”
In his
home state of Ohio, the CLEVELAND
SCENE (5/25) hailed Patrick and the
new line-up: “Patrick performed two of
the strongest tracks from Filter’s new
politically charged CD, Anthems of the
Damned: the single “Soldiers of
Misfortune” and the raging “The
Take.”...Patrick recruited a new lineup
for the tour: guitarist Mitchell Marlow,
bass player (and Akron native) John
Spiker, and drummer Mika Fineo--all of
whom play well with Patrick. It was a
tight performance, one that Patrick
suggested was long overdue.” Elsewhere,
the NEWS RECORD (University of
Cincinnati, 5/19) wrote that “The guys
from up north burst on to the stage with
intense energy, keeping the crowd alive
with their hits ‘Take My Picture’ and
‘Hey Man, Nice Shot.’”
