Looking for something to do this Friday evening; Seether is back in the U.S., playing at the Wiltern Theatre, and ready to rock American audiences with hits from their autumn CD release “Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces.” You may have already heard their latest song, “Rise Above This” (the video debuted on YouTube on April 7) which has been on the Billboard’s Top 10 Modern Rock Charts for eight weeks and much like the song’s title, it too is consistently rising.
Opening for Seether, is the alt-rock band Flyleaf. Vocalist/guitarist Shaun Morgan offered, “We couldn’t be more excited to kick off our first headlining tour of 2008 with an amazing band like Flyleaf. We’re going to have a longer set, which means more new music and even cool surprises for our fans.” Band members also include: Dale Stewart on bass, John Humphrey on drums and joining them for this tour, lead guitarist Troy McLawhorn. Morgan, who originally hails from South Africa, now lives locally in Venice.
Seether promises an unforgettable evening of rock. The two powerhouse bands will tour from April 8 to May 31 to feed the need of rock fans across the nation. Tickets are $29.50 and are available thru Ticketmaster or at the Wiltern box office. Meanwhile, you can check out Seether at www.seether.com.
