BraveWords.com has received the following press release:
Knoxville, TN’s WHITECHAPEL are currently crushing audiences across North America on their tour with DIRGE WITHIN, CHIMAIRA and TRIVIUM. These guys have several years of regular touring under their belts and have accumulated a wealth of crazy tour stories and photos. Below is the intro to one such story as told by guitarist Ben Savage.
“Oh let us take in the Las Vegas aura for a minute... an island of light in an ocean of desert, entertainment for miles on end, space needles, and black jack tables would of course be the optimistic outlook on this renowned city. On the other hand, you have your broken dreams, sinful seductions, greedy temptations, and so much sexual tension you can cut it with a knife. I guess Vegas is similar to the likes of L.A. but with more of the 'glam' factor.I know it ain't proper to not abide by the age old saying 'Whatever happens in Vegas, stays' but then again, it’s not like we rented out a room at the MGM Grand with a bounced check and had to pay off the mob to bury a dead hooker who O.D.'d off some crushed glass diluted cocaine that she snorted off your keyboard players erect member. No! I say, if the fun is harmless then tell all! We have been to Vegas 5 times (6 if you count tonight) in our touring career. Playing everywhere from brutal DIY house shows and VFW halls to the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Casino, we have played from the 'gutter' to the 'glamour,' if you will.”
