I know the music board here gets about as much attention as a buck-toothed hoooker, but I felt like I had to promote my absolute favorite band...

Blue October.

Their new album Foiled comes out next month, April 4th(assuming it doesn't get pushed back again... grr... I want it NOW), and the first single Hate Me has been a massive success for the guys, scoring #1 on Alternative Addiction, #6 on the Modernrock.com, #17 on the Radio & Records Alternative Chart, and #18 on Billboard's Modern Rock.

They're about to go back on the road, and I've got my tickets!

All I ask is that you go to http://myspace.com/blueoctober , give the songs there a listen, and if you like them, then I'd be more than happy to recommend other songs/album.

They're mid-tempo rock, although they have some heavier and some softer stuff, they make a heavy use of a power violin, which helps give their sound a really distinctive vibe, and the lead singer Justin Furstenfeld has such a unique powerful voice, and IMO, is the best songwriter you've probably never heard.

I'm planning on seeing them when they come by me, and I love Hate Me.

They remind me of old Pearl jam, even though Vedder doesnt sound like Furstenfeld

Yeah, I thought I was going to two straight shows, Little Rock Wednesday and Tulsa Thursday, but I can't afford the trip to Arkansas, and I have to work.

Ironically enough, today I wore my Hate Me T-Shirt, which is my favorite shirt ever, because it is the most PERFECT fit.

Also, for anyone who needs to hear the band... it's been officially confirmed they will be playing the freaking TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO April 14th!

So did you like the show?(Assuming you went to STL)

Tulsa was GREAT. Perhaps the best I've seen them.

Although I'd have liked to hear more older songs, the new stuff sounded GREAT.

And the album leaked a couple of days ago too... I'm ALL over it. And I've got 3 physical copies coming hopefully this weekend :)

BTW, if anyone wants to see the video for Hate Me, you can find it http://music.yahoo.com/ar-294759---Blue-October
