ARMORED SAINT – Returns To The East Coast For Three Shows This Fall Of 2011!
LA’s Armored Saint has been listening to east coast fans clamber for a Saint show for years, and finally they are prepared to answer the call! The band will be returning to New York for the first time in twenty years along with two other shows in Amityville, NY and Allentown, PA. Armored Saint will be playing songs from their latest album, La Raza, as well as a set full of songs from throughout their deep and storied catalog. Support on these dates comes from fellow Metal veterans Seven Witches.
Joey Vera discusses the shows further: “In July, we held a poll asking fans to choose their favorite Saint songs and we compiled a list of the top 10. At recent gigs in Los Angeles and in Germany, we would allow fans to come up and choose one of the top 10 songs for us to play, right there on the spot. We did this 3 times during our set. It was such a good time that we’re going to do this again for our tri-state shows. John Bush will stop the show at 3 different times and choose someone from the crowd to come up and pick what song we play next. So come down and be a part of choosing our set list for the night!”

STONE SAYS: Metal Mark over at Heavy Metal Time Machine alerted me to this ARMORED SAINT news first… and yes, I’m very psyched. I’m looking forward to catching ARMORED SAINT live in Allentown!
LONG LIVE ARMORED SAINT.

Saw Amoured Saint in the 80s and I remember liking them. Unfortuantely after the concert I was attacked by a skinhead for no plausible reason which left a downer on the night.

That’s a crying shame that an incident like that occurred after leaving that concert. I hope you defended yourself well against such a vile attack from this skinhead. Life is about moments in time and that is a moment I really wish can be erased for you my Metal buddy. The “new” studio album “La Raza” from Armored Saint is unreal good. Actually, I’m liking it more each time I play it. This is an album that really grows on you and I have a feeling “La Raza” will have a very long shelf life, drawing many new fans into the Classic Metal sound that is Armored Saint!

Actually, I was a bit fortunate because I was way too drunk to adequately defend myself and fortunately, the boucers go there fairly quick. After that, I never let myself get that wasted at a concert. I will check out this new album, it promises to be good.
