The Octopus Project Announce New Tour

Austin,TX group, The Octopus Project, are heading out on the road again starting this weekend with a spot at this years Lollapalooza. They'll continue west and northwest (Canada anyone?) to and fro. Finishing off the tour in their home town at the 2008 Austin City Limits Festival.

Aside from making great music...Last years release, Hello, Avalanches, was one of my most listened to and enjoyed records of 2007. The Octopus Project have a unique talent for putting on energetic live shows with out losing the original focus of the music from the record.
