Theory of a Deadman

Rocking out on a stage swathed with flashing stage lights in the middle of the night is a little tricky. Just ask Theory of a Deadman lead vocalist Tyler Connolly. During Connolly’s performance at Michigan's Common Ground Music Festival Friday (Jul 15), the singer accidentally fell off the stage, drawing gasps and then silence from the crowd. Thankfully, he's okay.

This year's Carnival of Madness features co-headliners Theory of a Deadman and Alter Bridge along with Black Stone Cherry, Adelita's Way, and Emphatic. The second incarnation of the annual tour just added 10 dates bringing the grand total to 25.

2011 is bringing us a lot of major releases in the world of rock radio, one of the ones that has flown under the radar until recently is the upcoming Theory of a Deadman record 'The Truth is...'. Recently the band spoke about their journey and just how stressful following up a wildly successful album can be.

After the success of the original, The Carnival of Madness tour returns this year for it's second outing with 25 tour stops across North America. Among the bands involved this time are Theory of a Deadman, Alter Bridge, Black Stone Cherry, and more.

Theory of a Deadman will follow up the hit platinum album 'By the Way' with their latest collection of tracks 'The Truth Is...' on July 12th. If you can't wait until then; we have the first single called 'Lowlife' for your ears to try on right here.
