does anyone know if there will be any texas dates (tour '09)

i assume the tour date list that's posted is just tentative? they really need to hit at least one major city in texas.

Didn't someone (probably Jens) say that it's rather cost-prohibitive for European bands to do a US tour?

Traveling half the world to play a venue with a crowd of 500 can't be profitable at all.

If so, best to bug your local promoters and convince them that they can indeed turn a profit.

well they're already scheduled to be in the US, so that's why I was wondering why not stop by Texas. i mean it's like the 2nd most populated state.

I don't think that Texas is the best state for a Power Metal band to tour in. And again, opening threads like this will get you nothing. The bands not decide where to tour. They get invited to play in certain places. Call your local promotor and tell him that you want them to play in texas.

There's still hope, if you like them that much and got some balls you could make a trip out to Cali to come see them
