Music Roundup: Festivals, Release Dates, and Myspace (oh my!)

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

If you are in the area, don’t miss out on Saturday’s We The People Festival at the Los Angeles Historic Park. The lineup includes Les Claypool from Primus, Rza of Wu-Tang Clan, Murs from Living Legends, Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, and Shavo Odidjian from System of a Down. Like the title implies, the event is politically-minded. Purchase tix and see the whole lineup here.

Ben Folds releases his new solo album Way to Normal September 30. The singer-songwriter is currently on tour and will be in New York 9/30 and 10/1; Chicago 10/10; San Francisco 11/13; and Los Angeles 11/14. Check out his album and the rest of his tour dates here.

Pop-punk quintet Anberlin is back with their fourth studio release New Surrender, which drops September 30. See them on tour in Orlando 9/27; San Francisco 10/14; Los Angeles 10/15; and New York 10/29. You can stream their full album and check the other dates here. (more…)
