ILL NIÑO ANNOUNCE TOUR

Posted in All Metal, Artist Watch, Featured, New Music, News, Shows with tags , , on August 29, 2013 by Randy

ILL NIÑO will embark on the American Epidemia Tour this fall which is slated to begin on September 28th. Throughout the month-long run, ILL NIÑO will be honoring US Military service personnel by offering free admission and 2-for-1 tickets for all who present a Military ID at each event.

A son of a US Army war veteran, bassist Laz Pina explains, “I am especially proud to be honoring our troops. Our military service men and women don’t choose war, but rather choose defending our freedom. For this we must be grateful.” Vocalist Christian Machado goes on, “As we celebrate the return of our brave soldiers and wounded veterans, we will never forget those who gave their lives. A celebration for those who have served without fear and prejudice is in order.”

Catch new tracks from Epidemia, including “Forgive Me Father”, performed live in a city near you. Check out theAmerican Epidemia Tour video (Preview) and see a full list of tour dates here.
