Chiodos Fullfilling Life Goals On Linkin Park, Coheed Tour

Chiodos, who are currently performing on one of the hottest tours around with Linkin Park and Coheed and Cambria are fulfilling a few life goals along the way. The six piece band from Michigan are touring in support of their second full length album, "Bone Palace Ballet," which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on Top Independent Albums and the band could easily be headlining their own tour. In fact, when the band was approached to join the tour by Linkin Park, they immediately decided to cancel Festival dates in Australia and arrange their itinerary so they could hit the road with Linkin Park and Coheed and Cambria.

We caught up with Matt Goddard and Jason Hale of Chiodos to get their thoughts on what a good decision it was for the band to join the tour with Linkin Park and Coheed And Cambria.

Good Decision For Chiodos To Tour With Linkin Park And Coheed And Cambria

"Um, well since we were... 'Lexington; is coming out, and we're pushing the song on radio. We thought it was in our best interest to stay in the 'States and tour. Sorry Australia. They were pretty angry."

We also talked with Chiodos about fulfilling life goals by performing in sold out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York and Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Chiodios On Playing Sold Out Ny Msg Show

"It was so ridiculous. That's like a life goal. Check it. It's awesome. Gotta check it off the list. It's Bucket insane. The Bucket List? (laughs) Stupid movie (laughs)."

Chiodos is on the tour until March 10 in Sacramento, California. They'll then head to Texas for the South By Southwest festival, headline a few dates, as well as play Bamboozle in New Jersey and Bamboozle Left in California.

I hate Chiodos for touring with Linkin Park. They should of just headlined their own tour again. But i suppose earning sold out shows was worth it too.

[Bananapatata]

It's cool that they get to do bigger shows, but it seems (after seeing them live) that they aren't enjoying themselves as much as they would have if they had just done their own shows.

I think they're more used to a Taste of Chaos-esque crowd than a "warm-up" for LP crowd. You could tell they really wanted people moving, but they weren't.

[The Spoon]

Awesome that they're playing huge shows and all but radio? i think its kind of lame.

i tend to like bands better when they are less popular, most of you can agree

[RickGardiner]

Saw them in London, they were better than LP and up there with Coheed. It's a weird combo, but I hope this gives them some more exposure.

i freakin love chiodos. this combo isnt coming to RI unfortunately, since chiodos and coheed are two of my favorite bands. Luckilly Chiodos are coming to mass soon headlining. They are really underrated for what they do. They're all incredible musicians.

i almost cried that night
they were the only reason i went to toc in the first place

i'd like to see that show fer sure :]

I can understand Coheed and Chiodos...but Linkin park? That just bemused me.
