Hinder & Papa Roach Appearing in La Crosse

This weekend, La Crosse will see another large act visit the La Crosse Center.  On Sunday, Hinder and Papa Roach will hit the stage.  Last May, the Music as a Weapon tour rolled into La Crosse with Lacuna Coil, Chimaria, Killswitch Engage and Disturbed.  Click on the band names to read my review of those concerts.

Hinder is a relatively new band to hit the scene, and by new, I mean four years in the limelight.  Hinder’s debut album Extreme Behavior became an instant hit on radio stations across the country with songs like “How Long,” “Lips of an Angel,” and “Get Stoned.”  A total of five singles were released from the album.  The popularity of Hinder grew with an image of bands like Aerosmith, KISS and the Slash version of GN’R.  Hinder released their second album Take It to the Limit in late 2008.  So far, two singles, “Use Me” and “Without You,” have been flooding rock stations across the country.

Opening for Hinder is a band that has been on the scene for a tad longer than Hinder, Papa Roach. First breaking out in the late 90’s with their single “Last Resort,” Papa Roach became a powerful, vocal driven band that was distinct among any other band.  Five albums later, Papa Roach is still touring strong and making their first stop in La Crosse.  With seven top ten hits in their existence, they are planted to have a crowd exhilarating show at the Center.

Tickets are still on sale at the La Crosse Center box office for $32.50 in advance or $37.50 the day of the show.  The show starts at 7:00 p.m. Sunday, the 23rd.
