Showdown Merch is a state of the art M&R driven print shop and would love to work closely with you.

Regrettably, Bullet For My Valentine has had to drop off the final five dates on the Taste of Chaos tour.  Band bassist Jay James rushed back to the UK this past Friday night to be with his 2-year old daughter who had been hospitalized.  Bullet's Matt, Padge and Moose played two abbreviated shows (San Jose/April 12 and Sacramento/April 13) with their guitar tech, Kevin Papworth, sitting in for Jay on bass, but the band is not comfortable with not being the best they can be.

The band is very sorry that they will not be able to play for their fans in Seattle and Canada, but will look forward to having another opportunity when they come back to North America this summer.

The band also asks that you keep Jay's daughter and her speedy recovery in your thoughts.

The Taste of Chaos dates that Bullet For My Valentine will miss are:

April 15 - WaMuCenter, Seattle, WA
April 17 - PNE, Vancouver, BC …
