Filter ushers in remix album with Hard Rock shows
Rockers Filter have booked shows at a handful of US-based Hard Rock Cafe locations to hype the group's forthcoming remix album.
Dubbed "Remixes for the Damned," the digital-only set will feature new versions of songs that originally appeared on this year's "Anthems for the Damned," Filter's first new studio set in six years.
"I love the way 'Anthems' sounds, but I just wanted to try something new," band anchorman Richard Patrick said in a prepared statement. "I've been living with the tracks for the past year and a half, so I felt it would be interesting to get a different take on some of these songs."
"Remixes for the Damned" will surface online Nov. 4, and information about specific retailers is available at Filter's MySpace page.
In the days leading up to the remix album's release, Patrick and company will play a trio of Hard Rock Cafe shows: Oct. 28 in Philadelphia; Oct. 30 in Washington, DC; and Nov. 1 in Cleveland.
