Bonnaroo 2009: Progging Out with The Decemberists, Mars Volta

By Julia Askenase on 1:47 PM on June 14, 2009

Still royally tuckered out from some late-night Girl Talkin', day three at Bonnaroo was pretty mellow for me. I spent most of it catching the tunes at the Sonic Stage (Brett Dennen, Grace Potter, Heartless Bastards, etc.) where the lovely Paste oasis is stationed. In early evening, I caught a solid half hour of Athens, Ga. kooks, Of Montreal, who absolutely won me over. As soon as I return from Manchester, I plan on listening to their songs that have been sullenly sitting on my iPod, just waiting to be loved. ... read more

The Mars Volta announces first set of spring tour dates

By Christina Hansen on 11:11 AM on February 13, 2008
