R.E.M. accelerates Atlanta
January 28th, 2008 by Mosi Reeves in Music news
R.E.M. just announced the first round of dates f0r its tour promoting Accelerate, which drops April 1. Unlike the Drive-By Truckers, who ungraciously left us out of their touring plans, R.E.M.’s itinerary winds up at Lakewood Amphitheatre (formerly known as Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheater) on June 21. Supporting acts include celebrated bar band the National, and Modest Mouse, which made the most disappointing album of 2007 in We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, aka Just Because I Hired Johnny Marr Doesn’t Mean My Album Doesn’t Stink. But hey, I’m a big Modest Mouse fan, so it will be nice to hear the rest of the group’s catalog.
