Mars Volta Tour

[cliche guevara]

This is only a month away now, getting quite excited as I've been waiting years to see these guys. Anyone know who's supporting? Can't seem to find out anywhere. Hopefully no support has been announced yet, as there will be no need cos the volta will play a three hour set. I could deal with that

They are a brilliant live band but have never quite done it for me on their albums.

That's the first time I've heard anyone say that, a lot of people seem to say the exact opposite, that they love them on record but can't handle the chaos live.

Yeah? Colour me the odd one out then!

Just thought I'd give this thread a bump because I'm so excited about the gig on Friday! Is there anyone else who's coming now?
