Bayside Request Live: Band announce unique shows

Tim Karan on 5/8/09 @ 5:44 PM

Bayside have just announced four pre-Warped Tour headlining shows and four solo shows for frontman Anthony Raneri. The four Bayside shows will feature sets pulled completely from fan requests. Raneri says, "We've already been getting tons of messages with requests so keep them coming. We're going to compile all the most requested songs and that will be our set for those 4 shows. This should be a lot of fun. We're going to be playing a lot of songs that we rarely play, haven't played in years or have just never played ever. Dust off those old EPs everyone."

Send your requests to Raneri via MySpace or Twitter.

As for the solo shows, Raneri added, "It's always nice to take a break from the big clubs and the buses. Get back in the car with some friends, play whatever I want, sell my own merch and hang with the fans. It's pretty rare nowadays that I can just hang at the merch table and meet every single person that comes to the shows so I'm looking forward to these shows."

Bayside dates are as follows:
June 11th - Altoona, PA @ Eldolyn Terrace
June 12th - Eerie, PA @ Forward Hall
June 13th - Syracuse, NY @ Westcott Theater
June 14th - Albany, NY @ Northern Lights

Anthony Raneri solo shows are as follows:
June 18 - Hoboken, NJ @ Maxwells w/ Vinny Caruana (I Am The Avalanche, ex-the Movielife) and Destry (ex-Straylight Run); Buy tickets
June 19th - Tampa, FL @ the Crowbar w/Andy Jackson (Hot Rod Circuit); Buy tickets
June 20th - Gainesville, FL @ 1982 Bar w/Andy Jackson; Buy tickets
June 21st - Orlando, FL @ Backbooth w/Andy Jackson; Buy tickets

Bayside will then spend the summer playing the Hurley stage at every date of Warped Tour.
