Lyman launches Taste of Chaos Tour

Kevin Lyman, creator of the Vans Warped Tour has announced a new winter festival tour
called the "Taste Of Chaos." Set to begin in February 2005, the tour will
be an annual event. Lyman has conceived the tour to be a multi-artist,
multi-media traveling extravaganza similar to the Warped Tour.

The first iteration of the tour will feature The Used, though additional bands and dates are expected shortly. For more information, you can click Read More.

Says Lyman, "'Taste Of Chaos' will combine amazing entertainment with value for the
fans, something I've been a proponent of my whole career." "Taste Of
Chaos" will be hitting arenas and ballrooms across the United States and
Canada. According to Lyman, "Music will not be the only thing on the
menu, there will be plenty to do, see, and hear. Fans should expect some
interesting surprises!"

Anchoring the inaugural year of "Taste Of Chaos" will be Reprise recording
artist, The Used. "The Used scream diversity, equality, and a good time,"
says Lyman, adding, "most importantly, The Used preach their love of music
during every show, and to have them launch this tour in its first year is
more than fitting." The Used's new album, In Love And Death was released
September 28, and quickly shot to number 6 on the Billboard Top 200 chart
(and number 4 on the Canadian Top 200). The first single "Take It Away"
is all over FUSE, MTV and radio. Currently, they are gracing the cover of
two national music magazines, Alternative Press and Revolver magazine. In
short, the Used are everywhere. Singer Bert McCracken says, "We've cut
our teeth on the Warped Tour and we are really excited to be able to play
in the first year of 'Taste Of Chaos.' Any time we can perform with other
amazing bands and the kids don't have to pay all of their hard earned cash
to see them is a great thing. Kevin Lyman is a smart motherfucker." The
Used is currently on a headline tour of North America.
