Bayside's Anthony Raneri Adds East Coast Solo Dates in January 2010!

NEW YORK, NY - As a special New Years present, Anthony Raneri of Bayside has added a string of headlining solo tour dates in addition to his run on the 2010 West Coast edition of the "Where's the Band?" Tour. Support on his East Coast headlining dates include Vinnie Caruana (Movielife, I Am the Avalanche) and JT Woodruff (Hawthorne Heights) on Jan. 20-21st and Kevin Devine and Shane Henderson (Valencia) from Jan. 22nd-24th (full dates below).

Earlier this month, Anthony unveiled a new demo, "The Ballad of Bill the Saint" on his personal MySpace page (www.myspace.com/anthonyraneri) to a wealth of fan applause. "Lyrically, I just wanted to try telling a story," says Anthony. "I don't think that singing about the hardships of being in a touring rock band are very relatable, so I wanted to try writing a few songs that used a fictional character's life as a metaphor for mine." His songwriting prowess has been praised by the likes of Alternative Press, ("Anthony Raneri's lyrics completely cut to my core"), Wonka Vision ("lyrically, the band has reached the epiphany within... they put the rock back in punk rock"), to IGN ("the band writes the best songs and delivers with the passion and power that made Jimmy Eat World so successful"). He continues, " I wanted to convey the situations or feelings I was having, but I had to take them outside of my own personal situation so people could understand."

The 2010 Edition of the WHERE'S THE BAND? Tour includes solo acoustic performances by Dustin Kensrue (Thrice), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids, The New Amsterdams), and Chris Conley (Saves The Day, Two Tongues).
