Atlanta based rockers Norma Jean have confirmed four end of the year headlining shows on the East Coast. The band are fresh off a tour as direct support for Saosin, Alexisonfire were out on that run as well. The last stop of the tour was the Fillmore in New York City and it was Daniel Davison’s last show with the band. The long time drummer and founding member of Norma Jean decided it was time to move on to other things. The band have just announced that Chris Raines from Spitfire will fill in on drums for these four headlining gigs.

Norma Jean with Glass Ocean and Royal Thunder:
12/19 – Richmond, VA – Alley Katz
12/20 – Wilmington, NC – The Soapbox Laundrolounge
12/21 – Spartanburg, SC – Ground Zero
12/22 – Columbia, SC – New Brookland Tavern

i've seen these guys in almost all their editions, in small clubs and at festivals. i still listen to "Bless the Martyrs" every now and then. once upon a time, two vocalists ago, they played some really good shows.

The drummer actually left because he felt that Norma Jean was "No longer a Ministry."

f***ing Christ (no pun intended here), music is not needed to preach. Being a musician means to make music. Not that these guys do anyway.

I can deal with you guys mocking their music, they really aren't very good musicians, but seriously, you can't be any more ignorant if you knock on their beliefs. They are a Christian band, so what? To say that they suck because they preach christianity is completely hypocritical, what if I said that Dark Funeral sucks because they are preaching satanism? (theyre good by the way, but im making a point) But seriously, you have to take into consideration that preaching applies to all beliefs. And I love Norma Jean, they are a party live and really get the crowd moving and get moshing going. They just wanna go out and play a good show and get everyone to have fun, and that's what I pay for to see them.

Ignorant? As in not knowing? I'm sure I can be more not knowing than that. But I guess you meant it in the cultural ignorant sense of being rude or an a$$hole. Which I'm okay with. See the difference between Dark Funeral and Norma Jean is that DF wasn't a mainstream commodity that was "preaching" to the general masses via Hot Topic/Warped Tour/Ozzfest or any other popular alternative culture devise. No one said they suck because they preach (they suck on their own outright lack of musicianship). But to put preaching over making music (as a musician), that's just weak.
