This is another edition of the "unofficial" warped
tour site for 2004. Originally this ongoing site started
late in 2001 when two Warped Tour fans (from Canada and
Australia) banded together to supply the much needed Warped
Tour info for the summer of 02.
Kiros
first started back in the summer of 2000 when Barry Mackichan
(bass/vox), Ryan Guerra (guitar), and Justen Gordon (drums)
first got together and started jamming in the basement.
The band instantly hit it off both as best friends and as
musicians who were on the same page. Together they grew
and matured musically and mentally as they worked their
way up in the Calgary scene.
In 2002, Kiros released their first full length "Counterproductive"
which they toured on for 2 years. After playing a mini tour
with Slick Shoes and the Calgary stop on the Vans Warped
Tour 2003, Kiros went on to shoot a video for their title
track "Counterproductive" for which they headlined
a hometown show with over 800 people who had come out to
support. The "Counterproductive" video has been
getting a lot of airplay in Canada both on Much Music, Much
Loud, Musique Plus, and MTV2.
On June 1st 2004,
Kiros released their brand new "Fight The Night EP"
which is available all across Canada in HMV stores. The
album can also be picked up online through smartpunk or
interpunk. To support the release, Kiros teamed up with
Allister and did a cross Canada tour together in June 2004.
This past July 27th, Kiros just shot their 2nd video for
their track "A Second Chance" off the Fight The
Night EP. The video will be ready for release this coming
September 2004.
Kiros just finished
up on the Western Canadian dates of this summers warped,
and are just about to join up for the Quebec City, Montreal,
and Toronto stops of the tour. To check out video clips
of Kiros from their west coast dates on Warped2004, you
