Thanks again to our friend Chris Lisk for making it all happen.

You can view some performance footage from the event below…

Check the tour dates section of the website. We are now beginning to confirm our festivals for August. Thanks, IGNITE.

The show at SO36 was again great and we really want to thank all our fans for making this tour the best Ignite tour ever. It has been a difficult tour for us because of the health problems that our singer Zoli is having. We are trying our best to make this tour work, after this tour we are probably going to be taking a few months off so Zoli can get his surgery and heal. Thanks for all of the supprt…IGNITE!!!

Well, the first week of our European tour is done and we are taking a few days off in Leipzig, Germany waiting for Death By Stereo and BurnThe8Track to arrive.

We flew a lot in the past week, 6 flights in 6 days, 5 shows in 4 different countries spanning all across Europe: Portugal to Holland to Finland to Poland….fun, but tiring for sure. The show in Lisbon, Portugal was a perfect warm-up show, a small club, packed with rabid Ignite fans singing along to everything. Then over to Holland for the Paaspop Festival which was huge and great. It was the first time since 2001 that we graced the stage of Paaspop and it was even better this time. Next morning was up farther to Helsinki where we played the club called Nosturi that was crammed with 900 people. Alex our Finnish promoter really took care of us…thanks again! Next day we flew down to Berlin where we were picked up and shuttled over to Poznan, Poland for the first of two Polish shows. Both Warsaw and Poznan were really good….Poland shows have such amazing energry and enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone who helped with these concerts.

Some of our upcoming shows are pre-seling out and the promoters are possibly moving the shows to bigger venues. Please stay posted for any changes/updates for the venues.

See you soon, IGNITE

Hi Everyone. We at Pacific Wildlife are broke. We will have no money left for fish by the end of next week. IGNITE and PACFIC WILDLIFE are asking for your help! ANY AMOUNT of money you can donate will help. The Pelicans need your help. I need your help. All of our Federal Funding has totally dried up. Hardly anyone donates money anymore. Mother Theresa is dead. Now, it’s our turn! Help us out!

- Zoli

First, let me thank you for your interest in Pacific Wildlife Project and the opportunity to show your support. Second, let me give you some background on Pacific Wildlife Project as it has so deeply impacted my life. My brother and I have been involved with Pacific Wildlife Project since we were teenagers. It inspired him to go into animal sciences, and he is now acting medical director for Pacific Wildlife in addition to being a professor of animal science at the University of Nevada. It inspired me to continue volunteering and to be a community advocate for Pacific Wildlife and the marine life in Orange County. Pacific Wildlife needs help more now than ever. They operate solely on volunteer basis and survive from donations by concerned citizens like you.

Background

The Pacific Wildlife project is a “grass roots” organization incorporated in 1985 by citizens, veterinarians, and biologists who saw a need for community education and expert support in interactions with neighboring wildlife and wild lands. With a commitment to a humane ethic, the Project seeks to help wildlife in a wide range of communities by providing a haven and hospice for injured or displaced wild animals and through the education of and hands-on involvement by the community members to further its conservation and humane goals.

Since its inception, Pacific Wildlife Project has been a leading force in wildlife protection. As one of the only facilities in the area to provide respite for all wild species, our award winning organization has been a primary resource for citizens and agencies.  The Pelican Paramedic Program is an active rescue effort established to come to the aid of injured and suffering seabirds along the Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego County coastline, with a focus on endangered California brown Pelicans.

Funding Help in 2007

Pacific Wildlife is not funded by any government agency and they rely on private donations and grants in order to continue this much needed community service. They are a grass roots organization staffed by volunteers. Donated services and supplies help keep operating costs low.  Nearly 100% of donation dollars are committed to direct patient rescue and care costs.

This year has been especially challenging for the birds rescued. During the past months, hundreds of young California brown Pelicans have struggled to survive with scarce food supplies as they arrive from the breeding colonies. The starving birds suffer additional injuries through direct confrontations with competing anglers and their deadly hooks and lines carelessly left behind. These and other seabirds face horrible fates including death, if not rescued and treated. The Pelican Paramedics Project volunteers perform missions of mercy as they locate and rescue these birds in peril and bring them to sanctuary care.

Pacific Wildlife’s rescue team is the only such organized effort in the region. They are dedicated, trained and capable volunteers. An unprecedented 90% of rescues recover from their injuries and are able to be returned to the wild. Community support is a vital element in the rescue and care program and your donation helps to make the survival of many of these magnificent birds possible.

Operating Budget

Pacific Wildlife is respectfully requesting funds in the amounts outlined in the attached budgets. Donated funds would be used for the refurbishment of the distressed caging and emergency infirmary and for support of the Wildlife Care and Pelican Paramedics Program.

As you can see, Pacific Wildlife has a big year ahead of it. Our most immediate concern is finding the funding to continue to operate the clinic to accommodate new rescues. With support from community members such as yourself, we can continue to make a difference in wildlife protection. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Sincerely,

Zoli Teglas

We spent three days in Buenos Aires, a couple off days around a show at the venue El Teatrito. Then it was off to Brazil where we had three amazing shows in the cities of Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Santos. Sao Paulo was incredible as we triumphantly returned to the club Hangar 110, where we had an amazing headlining show in 2004. Thanks to all of our friends, new and old that made it out to these great concerts. Special thanks to Cesar from Highlight Sounds for making all of this happen! Next up Pennywise west coast…watch out!!!!

Thanks to all of our fans for their continued support and for making 2006 the most successful year for Ignite ever! We are very excited about 2007.

IGNITE

Pastepunk.com have posted their top 25 albums of 2006. Ignite’s “Our Darkest Days” has topped the list at #1.

“With Our Darkest Days, IGNITE returned to the US with their first full-length in over six years. I also caught the band live for the first time in almost nine years. It could be argued that quite convincingly that IGNITE was Pastepunk’s band of 2006. My attachment to this band runs pretty thick. In many ways, they were that “far away conviction carrying hardcore band from California” that made California hardcore seem so intriguing to someone who only knew the genre from a distinctly New York perspective. No one seriously compares to Zoli Teglas’ operatic vocals. Like Tim McIllrath, Teglas has presence, and Our Darkest Days is essentially the Zoli show. Paired with a hybrid sound that’s as much UNIFORM CHOICE and GORILLIA BISCUITS meets modern melodic punk rock, and with a verbal platform that invades a variety of brain parts, IGNITE stands out as universally relevant in a period of constant flux and fleeting trends.”

Feb 5 House Of Blues- Anaheim, California

So, we are just about to announce some great tours coming up in Dec, Jan, Feb and March. We are going to be shooting the video for “My Judgement Day” during the month of November so it looks like we are going to be waiting until after the New Year to play locally….dont worry, the shows are going to be legendary. See you soon, IGNITE.

Anneke has been nominated for Animal Planet’s “Hero of the Year” award and has made it to the final ten participants. I don‚t know how these things work but if she gets the most votes she will receive $10,000 from the show. I know that if she gets the prize, every penny of the 10 grand will be spent helping the pets of the homeless; on things like paying for veterinary care for dogs hit by cars or infected with parvo virus, or finding a good home for an animal who‚s owner was put in jail (the #1 source of mental health care for the poor in CA). If she was not there many of these people would wait 2 or more weeks before their animals could be seen by a veterinarian at the Mercer Clinic. The money would go a long way to help these animals.

Could you please, please do me a favor and spend a few minutes to vote for Anneke? Just clink on the link below and hit the button by Anneke‚s name and picture. Consider it your good deed for the day.

Click Here to Help Us Vote for Anneke!

The voting ends October 8th so please vote early and vote often. Please forward this on to a friend you think would vote.

Thank you very, very much,

Mike Teglas

Here’s a clip from the interview:

Hardkern.de: 6 years have been passed since your last release. What took you so long?

Over the past 5-6 years we have been touring, more touring, songwriting and recording. Three years touring on the last album, then one year off, six months making demos and finding a new label, then a year writing and touring on the new material (new places like Brazil and Australia and of course Europe festivals in the summer). That was followed in early 2005 with pre-production and three months recording the cd with Cameron Webb and finally three months of set-up time for the label to properly market the cd worldwide. Yes….that takes us from June 2000 to May 2006 in one paragraph. Time goes fast!!!

Hardkern.de: It was the same with your further releases. Don`t you think your fans become fed up with such long waiting periods?

I think that our fans would have been really pissed if we would have put out a crappy cd. I think it was better for us to wait and do it right.

Hardkern.de: The title of your new CD is “Our darkest days”. Did you have such a bad time during the last years?

As for the title, these are dark times that we are living in. All of the political strife in the middle east. All of the problems we are having in the U.S. with our government. There are also a numbers of personal struggles that actually gave us the bulk of the influence for this album title. The album title is very relevant to current events for the band and the world. We slowly started working on the songs in 2001 but most of the work was done in 2005.
