The Bloodsucking Toy Machine skateboarding company is getting their crew in a van and moving up west through the coast. The west coast, and will be bringing the whole team this time around. They most likely will be using a lot of the stops for footage in their upcoming skateboarding video, and you can be a part of it. If you managed to catch them on their Lurkfest tour, then you’re going to be in for a good time when the Toy Machine skateboard team lands at local shops, parks, and more for signings and demo’s.

Girl Skateboards just came through the Northwest on the Beauty and The Beast tour and here are all the links you could possibly want to see or read. There are videos, photos, and all sorts of media from this highly publicized event. I actually missed the tour, due to previous engagements, but heard that all that went down was just insane, and I’m sure the footage will be collected for a Girl Skateboards dvd down the road.
Crailtap: The latest video, video 2, video 1, Koston’s photos, Carroll’s photos 1, Carrol’s photos 2, Spike’s photos
Thrasher: Orcas Island, Portland - The Department, McMinnville, Lincoln City, Time Trials

Whatever the case is, make sure you get your free Wu Tang Clan Rpg Game, before everyone else does.

Nike SB hit the road on their Viking Tour, hitting up spots around the world. While I’m not the biggest fan of Nike SB, even I can’t deny that they are giving back to skateboarding on a global basis, far more than the average skateboarding company, and are at least showcasing skateboarding in a way that is not “selling out”…at least most of the time. Check out this video and then go skate.

Who cares right?
Fall Out Boy can go back to doing whatever it is that they do.

In an interesting move by any band, Chiodos is going to be doing a show live online. This is not the first time a band has tried to broadcast a concert online, as many radio stations do this all the time for bands. However, this time it’s not going to be free, and the promoters are promising full resolution high definition streaming HD video. That’s right, HD quality streaming video and audio with multiple angles, and full interactivity with the band. That’s not all, you’ll also be able to request songs and hear what you want to hear from the band, all of this live and in full motion video.
The downside?
This is not going to be free for all. You have to pay 6.99 to enjoy all this, and that’s not too bad, considering they are promising to deliver a unique concert experience online, and do it right. Full HD! To get yourself a ticket to this interesting venue, click here, and read more about it. It still seems odd to charge for a concert online, and maybe other bands are going to join the fray of online concert promotions.

Metal band Obituary had to cancel their upcoming tour. In a message from the band, they have cited that it was due to difficulties outside of their control. Translation: Metal doesn’t pay the bills.
