This may be old news to some, but apparently guerilla marketers for the spacey, screeching prog-emo band Coheed and Cambria scared the hell out of folks at Kansas University by painting the band's logo -- or some damn symbol -- and the date 10.23.07 in various places around campus to commemorate the Tuesday release of the band's album Long-Haired Dude in Tight Jeans Will Kick Your Whole Town's Ass.
Here's a brief LJ World blog article on the subject. Google Coheed Cambria Kansas University for more.
In other prog/emo news...
These kids were huddled against the cold this morning outside the Uptown. Because the marquee said "Oct. 24 Porcupine Tree," I assumed that's what they were waiting for. Porcupine Tree has fans this young and diehard? I thought to myself, surprised the British modern prog-rock band would draw 'em out so early. So I asked them if they were waiting for Porcupine Tree. One said "No" and another said "I love Porcupine Tree!"
Turns out the Porc played yesterday (Oct. 24, duh), and the kids on the sidewalk were actually waiting for Brand New and Thrice, tonight's show. Duh duh duh duh duh.
Well, tomorrow, Dashboard Confessional is playing the Uptown, and I won't be driving by with a camera. No siree. I'll teach those kids the true meaning of prog-emo. I shall paint that Coheed symbol 'pon their distended, starveling bellies with a stencil and a spraygun full of blood.
HUZZAH.
P.S. The jester smiles as the puppets dance IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING!

Whoever wrote this is an idiot, know what your talking about. First off Coheed and Cambria is NOT an emo band; go look at the bands lead singer at his comic conventions and tell me with a straight face that hes emo. Second of all, the album name is "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 2: No World For Tomorrow." Third, it's not a town, its a city, and Claudio Kilgannon is going there to overthrow the House Atlantic because the leader is an evil tyrant (emo? I think not). Lastly, this is not a stupid symbol, nor is it simply the bands logo; it is a symbol representing the 78 planets that make up the colony "Heaven's Fence" in Claudio Sanchez's comic series "The Amory Wars" that their music is based upon. So, consider yourself proven wrong, enjoy your fail Katy Perry and Lady Gaga music that you probably listen to because society no longer has any taste in music.
Coheed and Cambria kick ass. Fuck all u mother fucks out there who hate. Shit happens some how the bands logo was put on campus but its not the bands fault its the fan. Plus its nothing to be afaid of. U dumbasses who attend Kansas U. its nothing to be all over dramatic about.
um. coheed? emo? nah man! you got it all wrong. i'd say more metal than that BS.
I find it interesting that the only people who don't know what emo is are the ones that use the term for the wrong subjects. EMO by definition was a movement in the eighties brought about by a small collective of hardcore bands in the washington DC area... The fact that it has become a generalization of any non-radio-play alternative is just ridiculous... also coheed is Progressive/metal YOU FUCKER!!!!!!!
I'm seriously disappointed that you didn't go to the PTree show, what kind of music fan are you??? tsk tsk, don't let it happen again or I shall paint PT's logo on....wait, they don't have a logo, which makes them better than C+C for that reason alone. When you add in the factor of PT's music being 100x better, well, you see where I'm going with this, right? Just do yourself a favor and see PT next time, if there IS a next time...not that you deserve a second chance. To everyone who went to the PT show, let's see some reviews!!! You know you got your butts kicked, tell us!!!
