Ok, The Mars Volta are going on tour this summer.
The funny thing is that they share the bill with System of a Down. The really awesome thing is that if you look at the "tour" sections on both of their sites you can measure the degree of coolness that each band possesses.
First, System of a Down...They state "The Mars Volta to be Special Guests on All Dates" Not cool at all. I tried to figure out how they got put together, but to no avail. They are on different labels. Maybe they're under the same promotions/management company. Who knows? I don't believe the Mars Volta would ever show up to System of a Down's house as an invited guest. Not even if Punky Brewster AND Mr. T were there.
Second. On Mars Volta's site they don't even mention System of a Down at all. Waaaaay cool.
True there may be more $$$ behind System of a Down. But their caliber of awesomeness pales severely to the stature of radness the Mars Volta holds.
Unfortunately, the closest they get to Cleveland is Philly. For the life of me I don't understand why the home of Rock and Roll \m/ is continually passed up on big tours. Well, I could give an answer but then it would stray greatly from the music topic of this blog.
