Them Crooked Vultures Land In Chicago May 18th

Renowned supergroup, Them Crooked Vultures announced a few additional tour dates today, with Chicago getting in on the Josh Homme/Dave Grohl/John Paul Jones action on May 18th at The Aragon Ballroom. The band will also honor Record Store Day by releasing the 10" single of "Mind Eraser, No Chaser" and the previously unreleased "Hwy 1" on one side, and an interview called "Vulture Speak" on the b-side.

Tickets go on-sale April 3rd at 11am, and will go fast. As a consolation, Indianapolis is only a quick 3-hour drive, and those tickets go on sale tomorrow morning (March 26th) at 10am.

Owl City Flies In For New Headlining Tour

For those who think MySpace is an irrelevant dinosaur at this point, we point you to the skyrocketing career of Owl City. The whirlwind jump from basement recordings to battle insomnia to Myspace fame to multi platinum recording artist has been a fast one for synthpop singer-songwriter Adam Young. The former Coca-Cola worker has gone from sleepless nights to selling out tours at large venues, largely on the strength of the dreamlike "Fireflies" and his reputation for great live shows. Sadly, the Chicago date, like most of the dates listed below, are already sold out. If you have tickets to it, or are in one of the few cities with tickets still available, consider yourself lucky.
