Finger Eleven [ tickets ] is not a household name, but the up-and-coming Canadian rock quintet earned the right to play before packed arenas when it was selected as an opening act for portions of Creed [ tickets ]'s North American tour. Frontman Scott Anderson has agreed to provide liveDaily with a report from the road each weekday through the conclusion of the Creed tour, which also features Sevendust [ tickets ].

Finger Eleven's sophomore album, "The Greyest of Blue Skies," was released by Wind-Up Records (also home to Creed) in July. The group has since been taking its music to the road, mixing club and festival dates with its arena gigs.

The group opens for Sevendust in Providence, R.I., tonight (12/5). On Wednesday, both acts will open for Creed in St. Louis.

tuesday the fifth

spent last night in an airport, a hotel, then a mall. saw unbreakable. nice one. man, this guy makes you wait. such a slow burn of a movie. a lot of strange, misguided laughter coming from a lot of defensive, uppity white people. i don't know where the audience gets the confidence to make unfunny jokes during the movie, but it should stop. and whoever sold the individually wrapped starburst to the guy in front of me should lose his gig. this guy tried to be quiet about unwrapping his candy, but that just made him sound noisier. at least the bag lasted him the entire movie, so that's a plus. when his bag was finally finished, he even checked it by holding it up a bit and sliding both hands slowly up both sides, just in case he'd missed one. years of planning and millions of dollars worth of art get f---ed over because of a 2 dollar bag of candy. sweet deal.

nobody knows how to go to movies anymore. it's embarrassing. and, by the way, i'll talk all you want, but after the movie. i'll fill you in on the parts you may have missed. the ones you may have been talking through, you dizzy bitch.

see? this is why days off are such a bad idea ... nothing to do but sit back and judge the planet.
