evilweevil Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hello Everyone, So its the 12th of February and we wanted to announce some more Road To Ruin information. We are so stoked to clue you guys in on some of this stuff. We worked very hard to bring you something that Mike and I could be very proud of at the end of the day. We asked bands that we wanted to see play, or bands that haven't played Philly in awhile or ever before and honestly just our best friends. So here goes nothing: I'm very excited to announce that we will be doing the wrestling portion of our show with CHIKARA. CHIKARA are based in the Philadelphia area and are one of the most unique and entertaining wrestling organizations in the world. They are putting together a really great show for everyone. We are aware that this could be the first time a lot of people have seen a wrestling show so why not bring you some of the best! We'll let you know the card over the next few weeks but its going to be very great. We are so excited that the main day of April 21st will see our friends in THE MENZINGERS properly release their new record ON THE IMPOSSIBLE PAST in Philadelphia. We are also very happy to announce that there will be two other record release sets that weekend: The Stable Boys (members of Algernon Cadwallder, Kite Party, Snowing, and Glocca Morra), and Night Sins (members of Mother of Mercy, Salvation) both on Evil Weevil Records. Here is 97% of the line up: Algernon Cadwallader- Philadelphia, PA- Hot Green Records Big Eyes- Seattle, WA -Evil Weevil/Don Giovanni Records Captain, We're Sinking- Scranton, PA- Evil Weevil/Kind Of Like Records Cloak/Dagger- Richmond, VA -Jade Tree Records Creepoid - Philadelphia, PA - Phonographic Arts/No Idea Records Diarrhea Planet - Nashville, TN - Evil Weevil/Infinity Cat Records Dry Feet- Philadelphia Beach, PA - Evil Weevil/Burger Records The Eeries- Philadelphia, PA - Evil Weevil Records Everyone Everywhere- Philadelphia, PA - Evil Weevil/Tiny Engines Records Give - Washington, DC - Painkiller/Deranged Records The Holy Mess - Philadelphia, PA - Evil Weevil/Red Scare Records Iron Chic - Long Island, NY - Dead Broke Records Luther - Philadelphia, PA - Black Numbers Records LVL UP- Purchase, NY- Evil Weevil/Double Double Whammy Records Marvelous Darlings- Toronto, CAN - Grave Mistake Records The Menzingers- Philadelphia/Scranton, PA- Epitaph Records Night Birds- Brooklyn, NY - Grave Mistake Records Night Sins- Philadelphia, PA- Evil Weevil Records Nuclear Santa Claust - New York, NY - Don Giovanni Records Pissed Jeans - Allentown/Philadelphia, PA - Sub Pop Records Rational Animals- Rochester, NY- Katorga Works Secret Police- New Brunswick, NJ - Don Giovanni Records Spook Houses- Ridgewood, NJ - Evil Weevil Records Stable Boys- Philadelphia, PA- Evil Weevil/Ranch Records Tigers Jaw- Scranton, PA - Run For Cover Records Very Happy - Philadelphia/West Chester, PA - Excitement Cat Records As I said we have a few more additions that will be coming in the next few weeks. Thanks for ALLLLLL of your patience. We've had many headaches along the way but we are so stoked on all the support we have received thus far. We hope everyone can come out and have a really good time.

Everyday is SICK. But Saturday is the BIGGEST day. Its stacked. Friday is Algernon, Iron Chic, Everyone Everywhere, LvL Up and Diarrhea Planet, Sunday is more of what Road To Ruin was last year, like a label showcase.

Now I need to find a place to crash and buy tix \m/ We are working on getting together a list of houses or something people can crash at. But there are cheap hotels in the philly area out by the airport and the big day is located next to a parking garage. Tickets should be up in the next few days. We are only selling 100 weekend passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilweevil Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Poster and more info Hello, We are the Road To Ruin Festival organizers and here is the most up-to-date information for the festivities. Everything is scheduled to begin at 7:00pm on April 20th in Philadelphia. The venue is to be announced. But we are gonna rock it so hard with some of our favorite bands and best friends! Kicking it off with our friends Very Happy, and going into the mighty mighty LVL UP. Our old friends from Nashville, Tennessee Diarrhea Planet making their Philadelphia return! Our very dear and old friends Everyone Everywhere will follow. Next up we have one of the best rock groups out there today Iron Chic will bring all the anthems. To close out the first night of what is sure to be a semi memorable weekend Algernon Cadwallader will take the stage to make sure everyone is left without a voice and soaked in sweat! We are going to give you approximately 12 hours to recuperate and then we are going to kick off at 12 noon on April 21st at the castle of rock the 23rd Street Armory (22 S 23rd St) with a little shindig thrown by our MCs of rock the 91.7 WKDU DJs. First band is scheduled to hit the stage at 1PM. CHIKARA are scheduled to wrestle two sets through out the day. This is a punk show with a few wrestling performances. We are huge wrestling fans and we always thought Road To Ruin sounded like it could be a PPV and when we had the opportunity to add CHIKARA we jumped on it. Please look these guys and gals up because they KILL it. We'll have everyone from Richmond's Give, New Jersey's Night Birds, and The Front Bottoms and then of course some of our FAVORITE Philadelphia bands The Menzingers, Tigers Jaw, The Holy Mess and The Eeries. We'll even have some old friends like Big Eyes who now call Seattle home. Please see poster for full line up! Saturday is going to be full of surprises and good times. You'll probably see some bands you've never heard of and some bands you love. But we want everyone to come out and have a great time. Sunday as we've been saying is going to still be a great show but on a much smaller scale. It will be held at the same venue that we did our first Road To Ruin fest last year. The Fire. We'll be kicking Sunday off with a FREE bar-be-que. And we are still working on the full line up for the gig. But you'll be seeing bands such Rational Animals, Deep Sleep, and then of course our little Evil Weevil Records showcase and record release extravaganza. We'll release the Night Sins 12" EP, Stable Boys 7" EP, and Spook Houses cassingle for their new LP. There will be loads of free stuff, give aways, and more of a party atmosphere. This is what we hope to accomplish the weekend of Road To Ruin. Its about friends, music and just having a good time. There will be a lot of stuff going on and we hope everyone is able to come and have an enjoyable time. Thank you to everyone for your continued support as we book this crazy weekend.

astrangerwithcandy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have not been this excited for a show in a long time. I really cannot wait to see the Front Bottoms not to mention pretty much every other band on the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
