Live CD and New Tour!

Good things...

Ok...lots going on in Yellowcard Land so listen up. We were honored that iTunes asked us to record a live album exclusively for them. The 'Live From Las Vegas At The Palms' album was recorded during the Blue October tour and will be available for purchase on January 22nd. We haven't put out anything LIVE in a long time so we hope you like it.

Then comes our US tour this spring. We will be heading out in March for about six weeks with MxPx. I have been listening to them since I was about 15 so it is truly an honor to have them on the tour. People have always asked us when we were going to do an acoustic tour ...Well here it is !! We will be doing this entire tour "unplugged" so to speak and we are really excited about it. We have thought long and hard about the set list and think you will all leave the show very happy.

Also, anyone who purchases the 'live' album the week of release (from January 22nd to January 28th) will also receive a code from Ticketmaster to pre purchase of up to four tickets for the tour beginning January 30th....before they go on sale to the public on February 2nd. We hope to see everyone at these shows as we think they will be a pretty memorable experience for all of us.

Yellowcard will release a digital live album, entitled Live From Las Vegas At the Palms, exclusively though the iTunes Store beginning January 22nd, 2008.

Press Release

Recorded in October at Las Vegas’ renowned Palms Casino Resort’s intimate Pearl Concert Theater, where the farthest seating is just 120 feet from the stage, the album captures the Jacksonville, FL, quartet’s fiery blend of rock, punk, and classical at its most explosive best.

“We were honored to record Live From Las Vegas At the Palms for iTunes and we’re really proud of the record,” said frontman Ryan Key.

Live From Las Vegas features five tracks from Yellowcard’s current album Paper Walls (which debuted at Number 13 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart, as well as at Number 3 on iTunes’ album chart), including the lead-off single “Light Up the Sky.” The live album also features Yellowcard’s previous singles “Way Away,” “Ocean Avenue,” and “Only One,” from the band’s double-platinum 2003 Capitol Records’ debut Ocean Avenue, as well as “Lights and Sounds” and “Rough Landing, Holly,” from their 2006 gold album Lights and Sounds.

Yellowcard, which is vocalist/guitarist Ryan Key, violinist/vocalist Sean Mackin, guitarist Ryan Mendez, and drummer Longineu “LP” Parsons III, have been on the road since the July release of Paper Walls, including a summer stint on the 2007 Vans Warped Tour, a winter tour supporting Linkin Park in Japan and recently played for U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf as part of a USO (United Service Organizations) entertainment tour. On March 7th they will launch a headlining tour of the U.S. with support from MxPx, Play Radio Play, and Treaty of Paris. Yellowcard will perform an acoustic set with the other bands performing plugged-in.

Anyone who purchases Live From Las Vegas at the Palms in its first week of release (from January 22nd to January 28th) will also receive a code for Ticketmaster enabling the purchase of up to four tickets for the tour on January 30th before they go on sale to the public on February 2nd.
