STAIND: 10,000 Fans Turn Out For Free Show In Boston

August 10, 2005

Over 10,000 rabid fans turned out for STAIND's free show at Boston's City Hall Plaza on Tuesday (August 9) as part of the "Fusion Flash Concerts" series. This special performance in the band's home state coincided with the release of their new CD "Chapter V" (Flip/Atlantic).

This surprise show was announced only five days in advance, via the "Fusion Flash Concerts" series, employing text messaging as a means of alerting and gathering fans for shows. The band performed a set that included tracks from "Chapter V", along with some of the band’s hits including: "Right Here", "So Far Away" and "Mudshovel".

Following their free performance in Boston, STAIND headed to New York for a performance on "The Howard Stern Show". The band performed "Right Here" and did a stirring rendition of the "Beetlejuice" song, written by one of Howard's multiple casts of characters.

STAIND are presently on a cross-country tour with 3 DOORS DOWN and receiving critical praise for their live performances.

The band's last two releases — 2003's critically acclaimed platinum "14 Shades of Grey" and 2001's quintuple platinum "Break the Cycle" — both entered The Billboard 200 chart at No. 1.
