March 16, 2009, 15 years ago
San Diego-based metallers AS I LAY DYING have announced that SUICIDAL TENDENCIES will be taking their place on the following date on the upcoming LAMB OF GOD tour: April 2nd (Phoenix, AZ), April 4th (San Jose, CA), April 5th (Fresno, CA) and April 7th (Seattle, WA).
DEVILDRIVER will appear on the April 3rd Los Angeles date playing under CHILDREN OF BODOM, who will play as main support on this show.
Earlier, As I Lay Dying stated, "Tim (Lambesis, vocals) has been in the process of adopting a child from Ethiopia for a year now and just recently learned that the official adoption and travel dates are the first week of April.
As a result, As I Lay Dying will have to miss the first five (5) shows of the upcoming LAMB OF GOD US tour.
Tim had the following to say: “It’s impossible to time something like this, and it goes without saying that I won’t be able to make the first five shows of our upcoming tour. However, I’m very thankful to the Lamb Of God guys for their understanding and support. Fortunately they’ve been able to find excellent bands to replace us keeping the lineup of this tour exciting as ever. We’ll be meeting up with the tour in Vancouver, BC and finishing out the remaining five weeks. We look forward to seeing you all then!”
While there is no specific time period currently set for the band to make up these shows, they definitely want their fans to know that they plan to get back into these five cities at some point in the near future."
