Staind singer lets it ride with casino gigs
Staind has penciled in a couple of additional dates for its brief December outing, and frontman Aaron Lewis , who previously announced plans to follow that jaunt with a headlining run of his own, has tacked several new dates onto his itinerary, as well.
Since last check, Staind's schedule has grown to encompass a Dec. 8 stop in Louisville, KY, and a Dec. 9 stop in Greenville, SC. Lewis, meanwhile, has extended his previously announced five-night stand at Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Casino to a seven-night stretch; after closing out 2006 with a Dec. 27-31 stint, he'll start '07 with back-to-back shows on Jan. 3-4. Also new to Lewis' schedule is a lone February show in Atlantic City, NJ.
Current itineraries for Staind and Lewis are included below.
In October, Lewis told MTV that he's working on a solo album, but no release date for the set has been announced.
On Nov. 14, Staind issued "The Singles: 1996-2006," a 16-track album that includes previously released hits such as "It's Been Awhile," "For You," "So Far Away" and "Right Here," as well as previously unreleased live acoustic covers of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," Alice in Chains' "Nutshell" and Tool's "Sober."
Also included is a version of the Staind cut "Outside" that originally appeared on the "Family Values Tour 1999" album, and features vocals from Lewis and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
To coincide with the release of "The Singles: 1996-2006," Staind has also offered up "Staind: The Videos," a DVD that houses 14 music videos, as well as live, acoustic versions of "Everything Changes" and "Sober."
Complete tracklistings for the album and DVD are posted at Staind's MySpace page, and streaming audio from the disc--including the aforementioned "Sober" cover--is available at Staind's official website.
Staind's most recent studio set is last year's "Chapter V," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart.
