Boise Block Party!!!

August 27, 2010 | Filed Under Shows | No Comments

Everything is so exciting!!! Remember the Idaho Battle Of The Bands that we played last month?!? Well… because of YOUR support, enthusiasm, and favorable votes, we are coming back to headline the Boise Block Party, also known as the Ticket Out Of Town Tour. I hope you’re ready for a good time, Idaho. The show will take place in (or around) The Venue (not to be confused with Utah’s In The Venue). Good things will happen. In fact, it’s safe to say that GREAT things will happen if you bring your A-Game and some dancin’ shoes. And let me tell you, EVERYONE is gonna be there! Except the people you hate… I told them they couldn’t come unless they were nice to you. Pre-game stretching is highly recommended. Can’t wait.

Sleeping Giant

AFTER SHOW UPDATE:
Pretty standard after show update. The Sakai Incident wasn’t able to make it, so Let’s Burn It Down filled in. I don’t know about you guys, but we were stoked to play. It’s not very often that we have a 12-day gap in-between shows, so I think everyone was a bit party-starved. At least I was having music with-drawls and missed all of your pretty faces.

2 Years On Warped Tour

August 14, 2010 | Filed Under News, Shows | No Comments

Thanks to YOUR votes on Ernie Ball’s BattleOfTheBands.com, Covendetta was given the opportunity to play Vans Warped Tour for their second consecutive year. Nearly 200 Utah bands, and 12,000 bands nationwide competed for a spot to play their home town in 2010. Covendetta was selected to play in Salt Lake City, along with Fire In The Skies, The Sakai Incident, Hotel On Baltic, and Written In Fire. For a full list of bands that played Warped Tour, click on the links below.

We couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t thank you enough for your support! I am proud to say, that so far, we have never lost a Battle Of The Bands! This is only because we have the most loyal friends, family, and fan-base imaginable. If you were at the Salt Lake City Warped Tour this year, check out the link below. You may find yourself in one of these pictures! Covendetta mentioned in the Deseret News on Sunday August 8th, 2010.

Tupac ShaTour

August 12, 2010 | Filed Under Shows | No Comments

AFTER SHOW UPDATE:
To sum it up, the Tupac ShaTour was quite the vacation away from home. There was a bit of bad luck thrown around, but the gang fights and drive-bys were kept to a minimum. We made it back in one piece. Seems as though the worst injury was James‘ sliver infection caused by our cliff decent in Cali. Cost him a few hours in the emergency room and a $10 double-parking ticket, but luckily the doctor was able to save the hand… I mean, what would tour be without a little bronchitis, or a prestigious one-and-a-half-star hospital visit? To make the deal even sweeter, our good friends Josh Nemcek and Kurt Michelson joined us on our notorious west coast endeavor. They were asked to fill in on guitar and drums during Chris and Jimmy‘s absence (August 8th-August 10th). Unfortunately, we were unable to play these last 3 shows, and closed the tour in Salt Lake City, tearing up the Ernie Ball Stage, at Vans Warped Tour 2010. Due to these cancellations, the tour was shorter than we would have liked, but hardcore (for sure) nonetheless.

For the sake of not leaving anyone out, the following bands simply ‘rock’. They played with us during our tour, but were not mentioned in the original post. So here they are. August 1st – Ride The Horse, The Black Tie Rebels, Pixikill, and Peter Black; August 2nd – Chasing The Wind
Unfortunately, The Chicago Outfit and Still A Dying Day weren’t able to make it on August 5th in Reno. Go check them out and tell them that they were missed. And there’s the news from the cruise. We will do what we can to throw together the footage from the road, but it may be inappropriate for all ages… If it ever makes it to theaters (or youtube), view with caution. No guarantees though. Still working on the last video I promised ya. Anyways, keep checking back. If you took pictures from the Tupac ShaTour, and want to be in our fan album, send them over!

ORIGINAL POST:
We were lucky enough to jump on the last few days of the infamous Tupac ShaTour with our buddies Monsters Scare You! Although they are heading home after the show in Reno (August 5th), Covendetta is picking up the remainder of the tour (through August 10th). Hopefully this east-coast, west-coast rivalry died with Tupac, cause I don’t feel like getting shot today. I guess Monsters Scare You! made it out alive.

This will be Covendetta’s second west-coast tour, adding California and Nevada to our list of stops. As you can see, the Salt Lake City Vans Warped Tour falls smack dab within our tour schedule. And thanks to your votes, we will be coming back and playing the Ernie Ball Stage for the second year in a row! This adds special tour appearances such as Mayday Parade, Closure In Moscow, Emarosa, Eyes Set To Kill, Automatic Loveletter, The Sparring, and Riverboat Gamblers. For those of you who are unable to make it up to Salt Lake City, no need to worry. The Tupac ShaTour is full of historic venues, music video shoots, home coming parties, and awesome bands that are bound to get your feet moving. If you can make an appearance at any one of these shows, you won’t miss out on the party. And if you see us high rollin’ in our ‘District Of Covendetta’ school bus, make sure and come say what’s up.
