NICKELBACK TAKES TIME OUT FROM RECORDING
THEIR NEW ALBUM TO PERFORM LIVE IN VICTORIA

Nickelback consistently sells out arenas worldwide, and their popularity has risen rapidly since their 2000 debut The State, followed by 2001's record-breaking album Silver Side Up. Chances are no one needs reminding that SSU's first single "How You Remind Me" received numerous awards, and was the #1 most played song of 2002, helping Nickelback achieve the title of "#1 most played rock act" that same year. As if that wasn't enough, Nickelback's record-breaking 2004 Canadian Tour saw the band play 42 shows in 32 cities.

Taking time out from recording their new album, Nickelback will hit the road to play a few dates this summer. The monstrous, multi-platinum selling act has been hard at work in its hometown of Vancouver, where Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Daniel Adair and Mike Kroeger are self-producing the follow-up to the massive 2003 record The Long Road ("Someday", "Figured You Out", "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good").

For many audience members, these shows will mark the introduction of former 3 Doors Down touring drummer and Vancouver resident Daniel Adair into the Nickelback fold. With new energy in the band, everyone seems more excited than ever about the prospects for Nickelback, a group that has already achieved success on a scale that dwarfs nearly every other contemporary rock act.

With their trademark melodic crunch and ability to write great rock songs with across-the-board appeal, Nickelback is destined be a mainstay at rock radio for years to come.

Don't miss Nickelback when they perform live at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Friday, August 19th and Saturday, August 20th with special guests Bif Naked (both shows) and The Trews (Friday only).
