Check out the recent US TOUR DATES announcement. Australia waits in anticipation for Wednesday's return to our shores...
16 December, 2006Wednesday 13 and The 69 Eyes will be doing a Co-Headlining tour, click HERE to check out the tour dates!
Also, Wednesday 13 to begin filming a new video project this weekend.
The show entitled "Weirdo A-Go-Go" will feature the campy and morbid sense of humor that any fans of W13 can expect. In the first two episodes, W13 hosts clips & trailers of cheap horror flix, along with performing schlocky but witty skits with his strange & wacky sidekicks. Resurrecting the tradition of Saturday Morning TV shows that W13 grew up on; the random creations of Sid And Marty Krofft and Pee Wee's Playhouse mixed with the comedic approach of horror hosts Commander USA, Elvira, and Zacherely.
Commented Wednesday 13:
"I'm really, really excited about Weirdo A Go-Go. It's a departure from music for me, but not a departure from my sense of humor. This show is going to be a lot of fun, the ideas and scenes planned for the show are so out of control and ridiculous that I can't even believe it myself.... so be prepared to be confused"
The project, to be distributed by Horror High, LLC, will be shot by Rafa of Core Entertainment, Inc. Rafa is most noted for the video and website projects he has done for Avenged Sevenfold, Evanesence, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Static-X and the Dimebag Tribute Bracelet.
Slated for a late Spring / Early Summer 2007 release.

Another US tour has been announced for early 2007. Dates and details can be found in the TOUR section of this site. Still no word on Australia yet, and it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing the band at the Big Day Out next year. Keep your fingers crossed… if you build it, they will come.

Howdy ghoulscouts of the world! I’m afraid there hasn’t been a lot of news to report to you all in the last few weeks, and there still isn’t really. Wednesday 13 will be wrapping up their tour with Alice Cooper late this month, with no more dates announced as yet. As soon as they are announced, I’ll post it here and in the tour section.
In the interim, Rockdetector have conducted an interview with Wednesday, and you can read it HERE.

Wednesday 13 MySpace has just been updated with a blog entitled "The Ugly Side Of Touring"...
I wanted to let everyone know about the ugly side of touring. When Wednesday 13 tours there is a lot that goes into it. Wednesday has never been able to the tour the states - so he finally said FUCK IT, put a great band together and decided this year he would trek across the U.S.
Now saying this, you have to understand, Wednesday's booking agent contacts promoters and asks who wants to have W13 come and play their city. The promoter then contacts a club and books the club for that evening. Like every band, Wednesday 13 requests a rider that contains food, water, alcohol and requests a buy-out of $10 or a meal (usually pizza or somehting like that). The buy-out is so when the band gets to a venue they can eat dinner. As you can see $10 isn't a lot of money - it's enough for the guys to get some fast food or once again pizza, before playing for the evening.
Well - last night in Portland
First of the guys are in a bus - so gas ain't cheap. W13 and the guys are limping along, because as we have mentioned - we are having some bus problems. But W13 is doing his best not to cancel any gigs (sorry SLC , UT Portland
This is a fucked situation for the band. Should the band say fuck you to their fans and refuse to play?
The poor guy who was sent to the club was just as annoyed as the band. He was the messenger and had to inform the band of all this. You have to understand, W13 is not making ANY money off the show guarantees on this tour. All money is going to pay for the bus, bus driver, gas, crew salaries, band salaries, etc. etc. So every dime matters. And this guy isn't even offering the band WATER!
So guys - local bands, touring bands, clubs in Portland
PS - the guys played the show and had a great time. Thank you Portland
And Jeff if you are reading this - fuck you.

WEDNESDAY 13 (ex-MURDERDOLLS) has issued the following statement regarding the cancellation of his August 6 concert at the Bottoms Up venue in Flushing, New York:
"Just for the record: Regardless of the rumors going around, we did not cancel the NY gig in Flushing !! The venue called or tour manager the day before and said they had a fire code situation with their sprinklers and that it could not be repaired over the weekend in time for the gig. I have received messages about the venue telling people we cancelled and that our tour bus broke down. That's bullshit and I want to apologize to anyone that went out there. In the end, it makes me look like an asshole and I'm truly sorry for it, but it's out of my control... Bottom line, we were lied to and so were you. We are on tour and all is well, we are paying all the dates scheduled… rain, sleet, snow, or alcohol poisoning, we will be there!!!"

’Yes it's sad, but unfortunately true... I have decided to part ways
with the entire W13 line up. This decision has many sides to it, and was difficult to make. At this time I feel it is the right thing to
do. I want to say that I had some of the best times with Kid Kid,
Ghastly, and Piggy D and I can't thank them enough for all their hard work and dedication that they put into this. We have parted ways on good terms, and there are no hard feelings between us. I truly wish them all the best of luck.’
