Taking Dawn To Tour With KISS In The UK

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Roadrunner Records) - Roadrunner's hottest new band, Taking Dawn are thrilled to announce that they will be supporting the mighty KISS on their forthcoming UK arena tour this May. The Las Vegas four-piece are currently tearing up the boards with labelmates Airbourne on their tour across Europe. Having just released their electric debut album Time To Burn earlier this year in the US (watch the video for the title-track below!) the band's European debut is April 12th, but fans can already get the album on iTunes.

Purveyors of the early metal sound, Taking Dawn frontman and guitarist, Chris Babbitt is super excited at the prospect of the KISS tour, enthusing: 'I still think my guys are fucking with me. Isn't Ashton Kutcher supposed to punk only famous people? Not even in 100,000 years did I think we'd really be opening for KISS... especially after the third farewell tour! We've got our 'Love Gun' locked and loaded, and can't wait to strut the same stage as our heroes. This is such an honor it's almost too overwhelming for words'.
