Relient K will hit the road with tobyMac on November 13th for the “Winter Wonder-Slam” tour. As befitting the season, the band will play several Christmas songs as well as a variety of hits and fan favorites from its 10-year history. U.S. Marines will be on hand to collect toys for The Marines Toys for Tots Foundation, so fans are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped gift to the concert.
Let It Snow Baby…Let It Reindeer, Relient K’s 2007 Christmas collection, is being re-issued for the holidays with a card enabling fans to download three newly recorded songs. And, Funnypages Productions (www.funnypages.com) – helmed by Tom Bancroft and Rob Corley – just put the finishing touches on an animated video to accompany Relient K’s version of “Sleigh Ride.” In the clip, our intrepid hero hijacks Santa’s sleigh to impress a girl only to see her kidnapped by a disgruntled Santa and his buddy, the Abominable Snowman. Will he get his girl back? You will find out soon…
The band recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with the release of The Bird and the Bee Sides. The collection, which included 13 b-sides/rarities plus 13 brand new songs, debuted at No. 25 on The Billboard 200 in July. Relient K was a co-headliner on the 2008 Vans Warped tour.
