Wow, what a weekend Virus Cycle has had! On Sunday, we had the distinct pleasure of opening up for Morningwood (VH1 Records) and Mindless Self Indulgence (The End Records) at the Webster Theater in
Hartford, CT. Best yet, Morningwood and MSI specifically chose us to open up for them on the main stage! We thank the bands, the promoter Rusty, and the Webster Theater for having us and giving us that great opportunity.

We want to thank the entire audience who came out to see all the bands, you guys were electric!

We also want to give a shout out to the other great bands that also played the Webster Underground that night - Mongrel, Tensor, White Savages, and Half-Past Life.

We would love to share a review from Sounds Behind The Corner - all the way from Italy! - for "Return to Zombieland." Click on the link here. If you use Google Chome, there is a translator built in that gives the best translation from Italian to English (we used a few free online translators before and it doesn't convert well).

Also.... WE HAVE A LEAK! Check out this leaked demo from Kinzel vs.Virum before it's taken down! Click here.

Our next show is on Thursday March 15th at PA's Lounge in Somerville, MA. We are playing alongside Global Crash, Jimi Halfdead & The Die-Alongs, and The 4 Sids. Show is 21+ and the cover is $8. Here is
the Facebook event invite:
