H.I.M., Fireball Ministry, Finch, more team for 'Viva La Bands'
MTV personality Bam Margera has assembled a four-band roster for a four-city, East Coast tour dubbed the "Viva La Bands Tour."
The run will feature H.I.M. , Fireball Ministry , Finch and Skindred --which are "some of Bam's favorite bands," according to a press release--and will also feature appearances by cast members from Margera's MTV program "Viva la Bam."
The brief outing launches in mid-November, touches down for single shows in Atlantic City, NJ; Norfolk, VA; and Washington, DC; and wraps up with a two-night stand on Margera's home turf in Philadelphia.
In between the musical performances, concertgoers will be shown never-before-seen video footage shot by Bam and his "Viva La Bam" cohorts.
Margera--who is described in a press release as "a fan of loud, aggressive rock, especially of the Scandinavian variety--spearheaded the tour in order to "spotlight harder edge new music, reinvigorating the U.S. rock scene in the process."
