Touted as the boys who use the most amount of eye-liner, My Chemical Romance (MCR) certainly isn’t all just about looks.
Coming to Singapore this December, MCR (an affectionate term coined by fans and has become a part of the band) will be playing a 1-night only concert at the Max Pavilion on Dec 11. Known for their melodramatic ways, this is a concert not to be missed, as these New Jersey natives will put an act that will blow you away, as they have with their fans all over the world. Their hits include “Helena”, “Teenagers” and “Famous Last Words”, singles from their 2nd and 3rd album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.
The band was formed in 2001, with Frank Iero and Ray Torro on guitar, the Way brothers; Mikey and Gerard on bass guitar and vocals respectively, and finally, Bob Bryar on drums.
After 6 years of making music and a triumphant 2004 with the release of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, the boys are back with their third album, The Black Parade, and have been only experiencing the taste of sweet success, with their single, “Welcome to the Black Parade” reaching number 1 on the UK singles chart.
The band was also nominated for Favourite Artist at this year’s American Music Awards under the Alternative Music category, but lost it to veteran band Linkin Park. They, did, however, secure a win at the NME Awards 2007, winning Best International Band.
In promotion of their arrival, 987FM, the official radio station for the concert held a contest at Scape Youth Park early November to choose 20 die-hard fans of MCR to be part of the Black Parade, in which these lucky winners get a pair of front-row tickets, Samsung phones and a chance to meet and interview the band. Fans turned up in, of course, eye-liner, and donned marching band jackets as part of their get-up, which is in line with MCR’s look for their latest album.
If you weren’t one of the 20 who were chosen, fret not as tickets for the concert are still available, but do get it soon! This 1-night only concert by the princes of darkness is surely an event not to be missed!
