The Mars Volta is an American band founded in 2001, known for combining elements of rock, jazz fusion and latin/salsa music to create their sound. Their debut album, “De-loused in the Comatorium,” was released in 2003, selling over 500,000 copies. While on the supporting tour for this album, Jeremy Michael Ward, a founding member of the group, was found dead of a drug overdose. On the heels of this tragedy, the band canceled the second part of their tour, and two members of the group were apparently inspired to stop their own drug use.
The Mars Volta has released four additional albums since 2003, most recently 2009’s “Octahedron,” which reached #12 on the U.S. charts. They embarked on a supporting tour for that album in June of 2009, performing all over the world for several months. The tour continues through December.
The Mars Volta, Silversun Pickups and more: Daily tour recap
Tour updates from Irish rockers U2 and actor-singer Jamie Foxx get top billing in the daily tour recap for August 28, as compiled by TicketNews.
Rock phenomenon U2 has rescheduled the date for one of its concerts at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Stadium home team the New York Jets were forced to push up their September 27 game by three hours out of respect for those observing Yom Kippur. As a result, U2 moved its September 25 show to September 23 so the band would have plenty of time to move its stage off the field before the Sunday afternoon game.
