Chevelle, Helmet to Tour

Chevelle will headline the tenth annual Winterfresh SnoCore tour, topping a line-up that includes Helmet, Crossfade, Future Leaders of the World and Strata. The thirty-two-city tour kicks off on January 22nd in Vail, Colorado, and draws to a close two months later with a March 13th date in Orlando.

Chevelle's Loeffler brothers -- drummer Sam, guitarist Joe and singer Pete -- have been touring in support of their latest LP, This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In, which debuted at the top of the charts and features the Ritalin anthem "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)," an inside joke about a hyperactive pal.

"The song is based on our friend's first endeavor into the whole drug thing," says Sam. "He was all jacked up all the time, and we laughed at him -- that's really what the song is about. I think people want it to be serious, like we're making a statement about how the drugs they prescribe cause all these problems, but it's really not."
