The highly anticipated Machine Killer tour begins tomorrow! On the eve of what promises to be a tour not to miss, we got news. Big news. The Machine Killer Tour is running through the end of February of next year! That’s right – if you haven’t gotten the chance to see Dope opening for the almighty Static-X and Sevendust, you’ve got another shot to get in on the action! We love to see it. You can find info about the extended dates right here on Dope’s official site.

If this wasn’t your sign to get tickets now, I don’t know what more to tell you. I know I’ve got mine!

Along with this incredible announcement, we were treated to a new tour poster that showcases the additional dates. You can see it below – click the poster for full size!

Dope’s official Facebook also posted a short publicizing the extended dates – click here to view it.

Flashback Sunday: Dope on Tour!

For your Flashback Sunday, we’re still celebrating the upcoming Machine Killer tour! Today’s blast from the past is not -too- distant, as we look back to the Rise of the Machine tour. We got some killer performances on this tour, along with some amazing photos. Here’s one of my favourites from Dope’s official Facebook:

I have to say, the photographers covering Dope lately have been on point. Insane amount of talent on display. It is always such a delight when we’re treated to new photos of the band, especially ones that are of this high quality.

If you aren’t following Dope on Facebook, why not do so today? And for those who haven’t gotten their tickets for the Machine Killer tour yet, click here to find out more! Judging by how wildly successful the Rise of the Machine tour was, this one’s going to sell out fast. I know I’ve got my tickets – I’ll be at the Atlanta show! If you can’t make it, don’t worry – I’m taking you with me! I’m coming back with photos and videos, so stay tuned.

EDF’s Static-X Merch Roundup

Hello everybody! We’re celebrating the Machine Killer Tour here at EDF.org, so let’s continue with another Merch Roundup! Edsel is connected to Static-X as its producer and collaborator, so we’re getting them in on the Roundup just for fun.

What’s a Merch Roundup? A Merch Roundup consists of my top picks from a chosen band’s merch store. (Provided that band has some connection with Edsel Dope, of course.) And since the Machine Killer Tour is about to kick into high gear, we’re taking a look at Static-X’s merch. It was hard to narrow it down because everything was amazing, but these are my faves out of the bunch.

Disclaimer: No one is paying me for my opinions about Static-X’s merch, and I am not receiving any commissions if you buy something. This is purely my opinion, and my opinion cannot be bought. So with that out of the way, let’s get to it!

RATTA RODRIGUEZ SHIRT

Have to say, this one caught my eye big time. This is going in my cart today. I love the colours, the artwork, everything.

RATTA RODRIGUEZ MUG

Yes, we’ve already established you have way too many mugs in your cabinet. Make room for this one, your coffee deserves it.

SHOCK SYMBOL EMBROIDERED HAT

You know, I’m not a hat person normally but I could be persuaded with this one. Comes in a choice of red or grey, in trucker style or snapback.

FALKO STENGEL SHIRT

Gotta say, Static-X always kills it when it comes to artwork on their merch. This is pure perfection.

And that’s it! I hope my picks were helpful! The Machine Killer Tour promises to be amazing, and scoring awesome merch is just a bonus.

Flashback Sunday: Dope on Tour

After some thought, I’ve decided your Flashback Sunday will not be such a far flung blast from the past. Instead, I would like to highlight the upcoming Machine Killer tour – Dope is supporting Static-X and Sevendust on what promises to be a killer North American tour. I’ll see myself out.

The Machine Killer tour is getting closer and closer, and I think that’s reason to celebrate this Sunday. So we’re talking all about the tour and how you can get tickets! (By the way – I’ll be at the Atlanta stop!! You better believe I’m excited!)

Various members of Static-X were quoted saying that they’re bringing new production elements, giving fans something to look forward to from the headliners. From what I’ve seen of their shows on the Rise of the Machine tour… I have to say they were already spectacular, so colour me hyped.

No news as of yet on what we can expect from Dope, but really… when do they NOT bring the house down? As any long term fan can attest, there’s no energy quite like Dope when they take the stage. Guys, these are shows you won’t want to miss. So the only thing left? Buying your tickets!

Tickets are still available, but they’re sure to sell out fast if the Rise of the Machine tour is anything to go by. Score some at Dope’s official site while you still can.

We’re flashing back to Dope’s first short on Youtube promoting the Machine Killer tour. Personally, I’d love for them to post more of these!

Gallery Updates!

EDF Photo is 300+ photos strong! I set out to make EDF.org your #1 source for all things Edsel Dope, and honestly I have to say I think we’re crushing it.

Within the next few days, we are going to have the following:

  • A new Flashback Sunday, which will be every other week and highlight something notable or interesting about Edsel (maybe an interview, maybe a pic, who knows?)
  • A Video Spotlight, which I think will also be every other week, highlighting not only Edsel’s work with Dope but any work he’s featured in. (Makeshift Romeo, Drama Club…)

And of course, we’re still looking forward to Dope joining Static-X on the Machine Killer tour later this year! Amazing stuff in the pipeline, for sure.

A tiny update

edsel dope, machine killer tour     Comments Off on A tiny update

Hello hello! I’ve been a bit busy so I’ve not been posting updates as much as I could be. But now my schedule has cleared up a lot, so expect a LOT more of me. My biggest news is I’m attending the Machine Killer Tour in Atlanta, so to say I’m hyped is a bit of an understatement. I’ve been a massive fan of both Static-X and Dope for years, so to see them live and on the same bill is a dream.

Back to Edsel, came across this blast from the past completely by accident. I was browsing Youtube and saw this panel discussion from 2010 featuring the man himself. It’s called “Turning Sport Music into a New Revenue Stream”. It’s an interesting piece for sure. I admit, I’ve personally not thought too much about the music featured at sports events so it was enlightening to hear about that side of things. Give it a watch!

All credit for this goes to MIDƐM+, I do not own this video. Please check out their channel if you’re interested in learning more about them!
