DARKEST HOUR - Guitarist Taking Questions Live For "Ask The Dude" Column On Upcoming Thrash And Burn Tour DARKEST HOUR have issued the following update:
Darkest Hour guitarist Mike Schleibaum, in conjunction with the organizers of this summers inaugural Thrash And Burn tour, are excited to announce that Mike will be inviting you backstage this summer to answer your Ask The Dude questions in person.
Launched earlier this year,
www.askthedude.net is a free band advice resource for all you dudes out there. Drawing on 15 years of life in the band, eight years of life on the road, and a little known degree in social work, Mike answers questions ranging from surviving life on the road, starting a band, guitar shredding, song writing, or really just ANYTHING that's band or music related.
Mike comments "When the idea of doing Ask the Dude Live came up I was far beyond stoked (catch the PANTERA reference?)! Meeting new people at shows and making new friends all over the world is probably the single most fulfilling thing about being a touring musician. It seems that the more hardcore, punk, and metal gets swallowed by the mainstream the more the true connection between artist and listener is lost. I hope to make some new friends, hold some killer parties, and hopefully maybe even help some dudes out this summer!"
If you would like have your Ask the Dude question answered live by Mike, submit your question
tolive@askthedude.net. Please include your city and date when Darkest Hour will be in your town this summer (tour dates listed below) in the SUBJECT LINE of the email. If your question is chosen you will receive two spots on the band's guest list with instructions on how, when, and where to meet Mike the day of the show.
Remember you can also always submit your questions directly to the dude at:
thedude@askthedude.net to be posted on the Ask The Dude website! Check out Ask the Dude in print in this August's issue of Alternative Press (issue 241).
