Ill Niño To Storm Across U.S.

Not only has Ill Niño slotted a tour beginning at the end of September but the heavy metal band is doing something special for U.S. military personnel. Beginning in Houston, stops include Dallas, Milwaukee, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

Touring in support of 2012’s Epidemia, Ill Niño will be offering free admission and two-for-one deals for members of the U.S. military.  All you need to do is show your military I.D.

The son of a U.S. Army vet, Ill Niño bassist Laz Pina said the special offer being made to military personnel is all about thanking the men and women who protect our freedom.

“I am especially proud to be honoring our troops,” Pina said.  “Our military service men and women don’t choose war, but rather choose defending our freedom.  For this we must be grateful.”
