Just because I can, I am about to bombard you with Portugal. The Man awesomeness. First up, the announcement that the band will be opening for Primus on their “The Oddity Faire 2010″ tour this fall before embarking on a string of headlining dates. I’ll follow that up with a video of an acoustic version of the song “Mornings,” and finish up with a free download of the song “The Dead Dog.” Enjoy all this Portugal. The Man goodness below, and you can keep it coming by heading over to the band’s website for more videos and P.TM goodies.
Pop punk fans have a lot to look forward to this fall with last month’s announcement that Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything have decided to hit the road together with special guests Saves the Day.

Tickets are on presale now and go on sale to the public this Friday, so check out the song to get a little taste of what you can expect from the tour.

After just coming off a show in his hometown of Chicago opening for Chris Shiflett and the Dead Peasants, LA transplant Adam Bones will be back in SoCal this Friday to play The Joint’s International Pop Overthrow. What might one expect to see at this show, you ask? Rock and roll that’s a little grungy, a little raw, and a whole lot of fun.
Check out our interview with Adam below in which we discuss the decision to move to LA, his love of touring, and that skeletal pseudonym he goes by.
This fall, Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything will hit the road for a 30 date co-headlining tour, and as if those two bands weren’t enough of a reason to see the show, Saves the Day will be on the entire tour also, with Valencia and A Great Big Pile of Leaves sharing the opener responsibilities. The tour kicks off in San Diego and then hits LA and Anaheim the following two days, so if something happens to where you miss the LA performance, you can just take a little drive down to Anaheim to catch what is sure to be a great show.
September is a good month for Michael Franti fans. Not only will the barefooted bay area artist be dropping his seventh studio album, The Sound of Sunshine, on September 21st, but he’s now announced that he’ll also be kicking off a tour two days prior!
Franti and Spearhead will be hitting Club Nokia the day after the album is released, so LA area fans have a whole 24 hours to learn all the new songs before the show. Check out the video of Michael announcing the tour below, and head over to his website for more information on how to buy tickets and to give your day a little musical boost, Franti-style.
In an industry that is based around singles, some bands might scare at the thought of releasing an album that is meant to be listened to from beginning to end. Everest is not one of these bands. Their new release, On Approach, is an album that not only that grabs your attention, but shows a band that is willing to push the boundaries of today’s single-driven world. Our interview with Russ Pollard gives a little more insight as to how the band is growing, their sound, and their current tour with Minus the Bear.
