College Tour (2007)[]

In late 2007, Adult Swim organized a promotional tour featuring Dethklok and ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. The tour comprised performances at twelve college campuses, with tickets available to students only (except for 50 tickets set aside for the UCLA show in the Los Angeles area). The band featured Brendon Small, guitarist Mike Keneally, bassist Bryan Beller and drummer Gene Hoglan. Tour information was made available on Adult Swim's promotional site. In an interview with Ultimate Guitar, Brendon Small described the tour as being "like Gorillaz, with the animated characters" with Small's ensemble of musicians performing visibly.

  1. Last night June 6th a small electrical fire stopped the show stopped the DETHKLOK show from happening— everyone was evacuated safely and most importantly NO ONE WAS hurt. The band was ready and excited to play especially because the Fillmore is an amazing and legendary kick ass venue. Ultimately the cops/fire department deemed the situation unsafe to perform and canceled the show— not the band, not the venue but the cops. The band was incredibly disappointed to find they couldn't play. But again most importantly NOBODY GOT HURT. The people in suits are trying to find out what to do— hopefully there will be a rescheduled show. Do please check with THE FILLMORE'S website as they will be posting news as it comes to them. Thanks to all the fans who remained incredibly cool, collected, and understanding during a possibly dangerous situation. Sincerely, Charles Offdensen (Myspace)
