January 4, 2013 - Celebrating its eleventh year of raising funds and awareness to non-profit organizations, Sub City (Hopeless
Records' 501c3 non-profit organization, which has raised more than two
million dollars for charity), is pleased to announce the 2013 edition of
the Sub City Take Action Tour Featuring The Used. This year the tour will be benefiting the It Gets Better Project, a
national organization created to show young LGBT people the levels of
happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach - if they
can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers going through tough times that they are not alone - and it WILL get better.
The tour will feature alt-rock headliner, The Used, with support from We Came As Romans, Crown The Empire, and Mindflow. Kicking off at Las Vegas' House of Blues on January 11th,
the annual nationwide charity tour will circle the US through February,
showcasing some of the best bands in music today while raising funds
and awareness for It Gets Better and the concept that we can all
help play a part in making a positive impact. Ten percent of the cost of
each ticket purchased will be donated to It Gets Better and Sub City. The 2011 Take Action Tour raised nearly $50,000 to help further the mission of the non-profit, SEX, ETC., with
over 19,000 fans attending the 30-stop city tour. Previous benefitting
charities of the Sub City Take Action Tour also include Driving For
Donors, Do Something, America's Youth Hotline, ReachOut.com and The
National Hopeline Network. To date, Sub City and the Take Action Tour
have donated over 2 million dollars to over 50 non-profit organizations.
Tickets are on sale today, here: www.takeaction.com/2013.
VIP ticket options will be available to fans, which include front of
the line passes, collectable laminate and signed copy of Vulnerable II.
It Gets Better Project is
a place where young people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
or struggling to find themselves can see how love and happiness can be a
reality in their future. It's a place where our straight allies can
visit and support their friends and family members. It's a place where
people can share their stories, take the It Gets Better Project pledge and watch videos of love and support.
"The
It Gets Better Project is thrilled to collaborate with The Used and
Hopeless Records on the upcoming Take Action! tour. The Used are
powerful voices for young people, well known for their community
involvement and outreach, and for encouraging young people to embrace
their individuality." Stephanie Laffin, Board of Directors at It Gets Better Project, stated. "We
look forward to working together to share the message of the It Gets
Better Project with young people across the US, and letting LGBT youth
know that it can and will get better."
Bert and Jeph from The Used have created an It Gets Better video to help support the cause. Fans can view the video HERE: http://youtu.be/N-0MtFYFs-g.
"It's our privilege to work with such a lovely charity that does so much good in this confusing world. Please check out itgetsbetterproject.org and we'll see you on the Take Action Tour," says The Used frontman, Bert McCracken.
We Came As Romans' guitarist/lyricist, Joshua Moore, also tells us, "We're
excited to be back touring in the US after three months. Though it's
fun to do international tours, there's nothing like touring our own
country, especially with such a well respected band like The Used, who a
lot of our band grew up listening to, and on such a renowned annual
tour. We can't wait!"
In addition, Hopeless Records, in partner with their non- profit organization Sub City, presents Take Action Compilation Volume 11, a compilation album for charity. This year features two CDs full of unreleased and exclusive tracks from The Used, Bad Religion, AWOL Nation, All Time Low, 3OH!3
and many more. 5% of the suggested retail price from the sale of this
compilation will go to continue to fulfill Sub City's mission to connect
bands, fans and causes they are passionate about. For the most current
donation total and full list of charities benefiting from this and other
