Three Days Grace Postpone B.C. Shows, Announce Video Contest

Three Days Grace have postponed five shows they were to play in British Columbia this week due a family emergency, and have rescheduled them for early January.

All tickets for the original dates will be honoured at the new gigs. Three Days Grace have yet to reschedule their Vancouver gig due to the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games taking place in the city and nearby Whistler, B.C.

In the meantime, Three Days Grace want their fans to use "Break," the first single from the recently released Life Starts Now, to make their own "pump up videos or highlight reels" for their high school football teams.

Fans are asked to use their own images, video and graphics and upload their video to YouTube. They should then enter through the band's website before Dec. 2. You must be at least 13 years of age and live in Canada or the United States to enter.

The grand prize winner will receive a football signed by Three Days Grace and autographed copies of Life Starts Now for everyone on their football team. Five runners-up will get a signed copy of the album and a Three Days Grace T-shirt.
