It looks like the added dates are in TX, Santa Cruz, and MPLS. Check the band's myspace site, www.myspace.com/bluecheer for the details and the band's taping policy (taping IS allowed). I might add that I would especially like to hear from anyone taping the Minneapolis show....the opening act at this show is a local band called Zebulon Pike....they also allow taping, and are also worthwhile.....an all-instrumental twin lead guitar progressive-style act, the nearest comparision I can personally think of would be Lonesome Crow-era Scorpions. Zebulon Pike got a favorable writeup in the Star-Tribune newspaper in the fall of 2004, but unfortunately the story is no longer on the paper's website. However, I can paste the following review which was forwarded to me (apologies for length to those of you who don't like rock and roll): "Zebulon Pike - And Blood Was Passion (Self-Release) By Chris Barnes July 1, 2004 Zebulon Pike should appeal to anyone that is even a causual Hellride reader - it's got everything MOST of us love in a common embrace - true 70's cult rock/prog appeal with a tendency to take sharp downward turns into doomland. I'm thinking early Rush here, with bits of King Crimson, very early Priest, Pentagram . heck I pretty much agree with everything on their bio. For once, a bio that isn't full of it. For those that are familiar with metalish prog monkeys Darediablo, ZP are in that ballpark - all instrumental, too good with their instruments, bad dressers. There are differences though - ZP draw much more from the vintage licks of yesteryear and where Darediablo would probably appeal more to the skinny know-it-all record clerks with bookbags, ZP has the power to appeal both to the former and to all us doom/bong rock dirtbags. The thing I like about Zebulon Pike is that when you're sure their about to take off into self-indulgent wankery (afterall, there IS a heavy prog influence here) they take a blind left, slow the tempo down and doom out. Right when you least expect it. It's unsettling, but it's snappy. I like the unexpected. I don't know a damn thing about playing an instrument, but I do know what sounds good. ZP both know how to play their instruments and have that all-important musical chemistry that shakes out the greats. I really like this and chances are if you have any interest in cult 70's hard rock and/or prog, you will too. Visit the Zebulon Pike website at www.zebulonpike.com " Hopefully someone in MPLS will tape both acts!
