Claudio breaks his hand, band postpones mainland Euro dates til Feb.
Posted January 03 2006
The holidays lead to family fun, and in this case, too much fun.
In his first night home from a long year of touring, lead guitarist and vocalist Claudio Sanchez of the New York rock band, Coheed and Cambria suffered a broken hand while "sparring" with his brother, Matthew. Matthew Sanchez is a boxer, and was clearly the winner of this one. The injury, fittingly nicknamed a "boxer's fracture", involves the ring finger and small finger of the right hand. The injury requires 3 weeks in a cast and a week or two of physical therapy.
Brother Matthew has inspired two characters in the Coheed and Cambria concept records; "Matthew" is a son of Coheed and Cambria in the story, and "Inferno" is the brother of Coheed, who is a Prize Fighter and modeled loosely after the younger Sanchez.
The band will be forced to postpone a portion of their upcoming tour dates in Europe with Thrice. Tickets should be held on to until new dates are announced in the coming week. They can then be refunded or exchanged for the new date. The make up shows will not be with Thrice, however, all shows in the UK will not be affected and will go on as planned.
The following dates have been postponed.
11 Antwerp, Belgium - Hof Der Lo
12 Amsterdam, NE - Melkweg
13 Hamburg, DE - Grosse Freiheit
14 Koln, DE - LMH
16 Oslo, NO - Rockerfeller
17 Stockholm, SW - Debaser
19 Copenhagen, DN - Vega
20 Berlin, DE - SO36
22 Munich, DE - Backstage
23 Vienna, AU - Arena
24 Zurich, SZ - Rollstofflager
25 Bologna, Itl - Astragon
26 Milan, Itl - Transilvania
Claudio sends his deepest apologies, as does the rest of the band, and promise to make these dates up in February in big style.

Good Apollo to be released in an expanded, limited-edition package
Posted December 09 2005
Next Tuesday, December 13th, we will have a limited edition version of Good Apollo in stores. It comes with a bonus DVD that features the Welcome Home and Suffering Videos, as well as the 6 MTV Vignettes we did, a mini movie featuring the band and footage from the Good Apollo recording sessions. Also there is a 12 page booklet of live black and white Coheed shots. We know it comes quickly off the heels of the regular release of "Good Apollo", but we feel that the bonus disc is worth the price alone, and hope you do too.
