PAPA ROACH Extends Tour, Ponders Acoustic Recordings

January 19, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: PAPA ROACH has extended its current North American tour, with a newly confirmed batch of dates finishing up on March 4 in Clifton Park, New York. The trek begins on January 23 in Eugene, Oregon and will take in a number of Canadian gigs before swinging back down into the States. PAPA ROACH is touring behind its fourth major label album, "The Paramour Sessions", which came out last fall and features the current single, "Forever".

Meanwhile, singer Jacoby Shaddix recently told New-Noise.net that the band is considering the possibility of recording acoustic versions of some songs from the new disc and putting them up for sale on iTunes. Shaddix told Launch that PAPA ROACH wants to get its music to people any way it can: "We're trying to get our music out in a lot of different ways, you know. We're promoting our album on the Internet, we're promoting our record on rock radio. We're promoting our music on television. You know what I'm saying? We're working, we're hoping people are talking about our band, you know, just on the street, you know, as word of mouth, you know. So it's just a matter of taking advantage of all these mediums and getting our music out to people because there's so many ways to do it."

PAPA ROACH's new tour features support from KILL HANNAH and IT DIES TODAY.
