Backstage Pass

With the Straylight Run/The Color Fred tour wrapping up on Friday at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza, the busy bands have already lined up their next moves. Straylight Run will team up with fellow Long Islanders Bayside for a national tour that runs from Jan. 25 and ends at the Crazy Donkey on Mar. 1. (Before they head out, Bayside plans to film a video for its next single "Carry On.")

The Color Fred has some serious plans too. The band will open for Angels and Airwaves starting in January, continuing the close bond singer Fred Mascherino built with the band when he was touring with them as part of Taking Back Sunday. The Color Fred has also signed on to the 2008 Vans Warped Tour, one of 6 bands that will be on the entire tour. Others making the full Warped trek include: Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is..., Relient K, We the Kings and Reel Big Fish.
