Mars Volta announces more 2008 tour dates :: Music News :: Articles

The Mars Volta are sure making good use of their freshly printed 2008 yearly planners, rattling off tour dates in backward chronological order. In addition to the smattering of international dates that will follow the release of The Bedlam in Goliath on Jan. 29, the band just added the top piece of its sandwich.
