The Spill Canvas to Replace MXPX on Upcoming Tour

We recently released the information about our upcoming tour which starts in March. Unfortunately MXPX is now unavailable for the dates which we are sad to hear. However we have what we think is incredible news as we have some great friends that will be filling the slot. The Spill Canvas is in my opinion one of the best new bands around and we are happy to have them. If you didn't read anything about the tour, we will be playing acoustic eery night and the set list is loaded with stuff you haven't heard in a long time. Can't wait to get on the road.

Live CD and New Tour!

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 ReleaseRecorded in October at Las Vegasâ�™ renowned Palms Casino Resortâ�™s intimate Pearl Concert Theater, where the farthest seating is just 120 feet from the stage, the album captures the Jacksonville, FL, quartetâ�™s fiery blend of rock, punk, and classical at its most explosive best.

â�œWe were honored to record Live From Las Vegas At the Palms for iTunes and weâ�™re really proud of the record,â� said frontman Ryan Key.

Live From Las Vegas features five tracks from Yellowcardâ�™s current album Paper Walls (which debuted at Number 13 on Billboardâ�™s Top 200 album chart, as well as at Number 3 on iTunesâ�™ album chart), including the lead-off single â�œLight Up the Sky.â� The live album also features Yellowcardâ�™s previous singles â�œWay Away,â� â�œOcean Avenue,â� and â�œOnly One,â� from the bandâ�™s double-platinum 2003 Capitol Recordsâ�™ debut Ocean Avenue, as well as â�œLights and Soundsâ� and â�œRough Landing, Holly,â� 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 â�œLPâ� 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.

Yellowcard USO

Yellowcard will be headed to the Persian Gulf to perform for enlisted men and women serving abroad.

Message from the Band We're really excited about going to the Middle East with the USO and performing for the troops. It's a privilege to have the opportunity to visit and entertain those that serve our nation. This tour isn't just a treat for them but also for us.

Someone's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Ryan Key of Yellowcard who turns 28 on the 17th of December! Have a good one!

Germany, Austria, Swiss shows postponed

Hello everyone. I have some unfortunate news. We have been planning on coming to Germany, Austria and Switzerland for a tour in January and were very excited about it. Unfortunately we are going to have to postpone the dates indefinitely. LP is very close with his Grandmother who raised him in Jacksonville, FL and her health is failing. He has asked us if he could take some time to be home with her over these next couple of months. We of course support him and know that this is a difficult time for him and his family. The tickets for the shows are fully refundable and we will let everyone know as soon as we have any information regarding the rescheduling of the tour. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone too much and we look forward to making this tour happen as soon as possible. Thank you.

Sad...

Sad...

I heard today that Casey Calvert from Hawthorne Heights passed away in his sleep last night. I certainly don't have the right words to say. We were fortunate enough to have the chance to play with him and I remember nothing but smiles when he was around at shows. I am not very good friends with the guys personally but I cannot imagine what they are going through right now. Our thoughts are with them and I am sure they could use some friendly words on their myspace page. Such sad news.
