Now, the story can be told.  We've had two major shows hit the skids.  One was a national tour that got the official cancellation today, the other was going to be a *new* signature event.  Can you handle find out what you're going to miss?  If so, click through.

Here in Lubbock we are really lucky to have gotten to see Halestorm grow into a killer rock band right before our eyes.

It's a question we have been asked many times already, "where can I get my tickets to Carnival of Madness?" The Carnival of Madness is a bit unconventional, that's why purchasing your tickets is different for it.

The Carnival of Madness is less than two months away and we couldn't be more excited. It's a killer lineup consisting of Evanescence, Chevelle, Halestorm, New Medicine and CAVO. We're so pumped up that we created a list of five songs that will get anyone pumped up for the big show.

Tickets are now on sale for the biggest show of the summer, the Carnival of Madness tour with Evanescence on Friday, August 17th.

"The Carnival Of Madness" IS coming to Lubbock. After a couple of bumps in the road, the show is confirmed and set to hit the Hub City on August 17th at the Lonestar Events Center. On the tour this year is Evanescence with special guests Chevelle, Halestorm, New Medicine and CAVO.

Don't believe everything you read folks.  A proposed "Carnival Of Madness" tour date in Lubbock is still in flux!  How do I know this?  It's my parent company negotiating for the date.  This one is far from buttoned up, but we're hopeful.  Find out more after the jump.

This closes out the birthday bash photographs. Even though there are few photos, you do get the first of many videos. The night ended much too late, and 1:00 pm meet-n-greets at Ralph's Records, started another 12 hour rockin' roller coaster ride. Photos and video follow the jump.

While waiting for Chevelle, our first meet-n-greet of the day, our FMX winners were surprised with a visit by Halestorm. They were in town a day early for Saturday's show with Stained and Godsmack and decided to come join the party in the FMX VOODOO Lounge! You never know who might show up in the voodoo lounge.

Our photog has literally hundreds of pix to go through before we post the definitive wrap up to an unbelievable weekend. In the meantime, dozens of folks posted cool little clips from the shows on YouTube.  I've hunted down some of my favorites for you.

How stoked are you for the 31st Annual FMX Birthday Bash? The whole bill rocks, but the band I am really looking forward to seeing is Chevelle.

Sam Loeffler is a bit of anomaly, he's the spokesman for his band.  Trust me, we don't get very many drummers who are entrusted with basically a bands entire reputation.  Sam is a great fit at the job though, he's engaging, funny and honest almost to a fault.   More after the jump.
