As most of you know we here at Super Hella Awesome are based on the left/best/west coast, whatever you want to call it. Thus it is with great sadness (that's masking my jealous rage) that I report to you the following Phish tour dates that are incredibly amazing if you live on the opposite side of the country. Sticking with the video announcement shtick, the band is absent save for a hitchhiking Fishman cameo as well as an accompanying faceplant to end the announcement.

In their neverending quest for greatest band on the planet, the fellas have also thrown the fans a few bones recently. In addition to the recent free release Fresh Bait: Vol 1 (available here), that features highlights from the first leg of this year's summer tour, the band has also announced that ticket buyers will be receiving free mp3 copies of the shows they attend after it happens on LivePhish. Thanks guys, you really are swell.

The lottery for these shows is currently ongoing and will end on September 3rd at 11:59 am EST so put on your lucky pants and saunter on over to Phish ticketing. And yes, for those wondering, the Halloween night show in Atlantic City will again be a three-set show will the middle set consisting of the band's musical costume where they cover an album from a different artist in its entirety so put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty, and meet me October 31st in Atlantic City.

Brandon Flowers Announces First Solo Dates In August

Submitted by phletch on Tue, 2010-07-20 08:30

As Brandon Flowers prepares for the release of his debut solo album Flamingo, The Killers frontman has announced a five date US tour that in all likely is going to amount to some warm-up shows before a massive US tour. Set to start in the singer's hometown of Las Vegas on August 15th, the mini-tour will then take the wing-wearing Flowers to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and finally a closing show in New York.

As for the album, Flamingo is still scheduled for a September 14th release and that fancy image up above is the album artwork. The first single "Crossfire" has a ninja heavy video starring Charlize Theron you can check out here.

Tickets for the newly announced shows will be available through a presale at The Killers fanclub beginning on Wednesday July 21st, with a general public onsale taking place on Friday July 23rd through Ticketmaster. By my account that leaves only one question still unanswered, is he human or is he dancer?   [via CoS]

08/15 – Las Vegas, NV @ The Shiner Showroom
08/17 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Troubadour
08/19 – San Francisco, CA @ Slim’s
08/23 – Chicago, IL @ Park West
08/26 – New York, NY @ Highline Ballroom

Update: Looks like Ticketmaster has an August 25th date listed in Toronto which would make sense although that has not been officially announced.

Umphrey's McGee Announce Fall Dates, Halloween Mashup In St. Louis

Deliverers of awesome Umphrey's McGee have just announced their Halloween plans as well as a batch of early fall tour dates. There's a lot to get excited about so let's use the glorious copy and paste from the band's news update:

Umphrey’s McGee is proud to announce the 3rd Annual Monster Mash Up Halloween extravaganza October 30th and 31st at The Pageant in St. Louis, Missouri. Stay tuned for details on CID Entertainment travel packages, “Partyin’ Peeps” enhanced concert ticket packages, and more. 

In true Umphrey’s Halloween tradition, we will be mixing and mashing up new combinations of tunes, and encourage all to get in the spirit of the mash up theme by dressing the part.

The Monster Mash Up shows are always a good time so it's nice to know the band seems to have officially embraced it as their Halloween gimmick. Considering Umphrey's past adventures with technology and fans, I'm pretty interested in the "'Partyin Peeps' enhanced concert ticket packages". We'll update you with that news when it comes.

The early fall dates the band announced will take them from Tennesee out west. Presale for those shows will begin on July 20th, with general onsales taking place on the 24th. Halloween ticketing will follow a week later with a July 27th presale and a general onsale on the 30th. For more information head on over to the official site.

Dave Matthews Band To Close Summer Tour With Two Nights At Wrigley

When the Dave Matthews Band announced they were taking a years vacation in 2011, tickets for this year's summer tour undoubtedly saw a little boost in sales. I'm pretty sure they won't need to worry about any artificial boosts for their latest dates, a two night stand at famed Wrigley Field to cap off their summer tour. The band will perform back to back nights September 17th and 18th at the home of the Chicago Cubs. Jason Mraz will be opening both of these special shows.

The Warehouse lottery for these tickets is currently underway and closes Monday July 12th at noon EST. The public onsale will then take place on Saturday July 17th at 10am CST. VIP packages will also be sold through the Warehouse.

Jenny And Johnny Detail Debut Album, Announce Tour

Submitted by phletch on Tue, 2010-06-22 08:39

It seems like the whole couples-making-music thing is in full swing and I don't mean the boy and girl combos like She & Him. I'm talking about the real couples, like Trent Reznor's How To Destroy Angels project, or Jack White producing his wife Karen Elson's debut album. Now indie wonder girl Jenny Lewis has partnered with her real life partner Jonathan Rice for the inventively named Jenny and Johnny.

The duo just announced a bunch of stuff including some tour dates, album details, and even their first tune, which is available for the price of a functioning email address. There is no official release date for the debut album titled I'm Having Fun Now, but if the pre-order page is any indication you can expect the album to ship in "late summer". Starting September 1st in Santa Cruz, the band will head up the west coast before seeing their tour head across the country, making a point to skip Arizona and all that insanity down there.

On top of all that goodness we have our first taste of what to expect from Jenny and Johnny, a guitar heavy pop number called "Scissor Runner" with both members trading off vocals.  Certainly a good start. The tune is streaming below and the download widget is available after the jump along with full tour dates. Tickets will be going on sale through the usual suspects later this week.   [via CoS]

Holy Caped Crusader this sounds fun. My Morning Jacket have just announced a run of shows in New York City where the band will play one of their studio albums in their entirety each night. Five is definitely the theme for this run as the band will play five shows, one for each studio album in their catalog, at Terminal 5 in New York City. The sorta-residency will kick off October 18th with the band's debut The Tennessee Fire.

Of added awesome, and to fill out the rest of the evening, the official wording states the band will play a full length album "along with additional songs and covers from each album’s time period." Well, that's an eleven year span if I can still do arithmetic so be prepared for some fun covers hijacking your memory lane. Tickets for the shows go on pre-sale starting June 14th with a general onsale on the 18th. For the more adventurous, and thereby awesome, five day packages will be available for $205, not too shabby. For more information on tickets head over to the Terminal 5 website.

10/18 – Terminal 5 – New York City, NY – The Tennessee Fire
10/19 – Terminal 5 – New York City, NY – At Dawn
10/21 – Terminal 5 – New York City, NY – It Still Moves

Music Video Of The Day: Peggy Sue - Watchman

Submitted by phletch on Tue, 2010-06-08 10:30

Gonna try out a new bit here and see if it sticks. A pretty simple Music Video Of The Day that just includes music with an accompanying video whether it's live, fan made, or the standard music video variety. Don't worry, we'll still post major videos as they are released, we'll save this format for things a bit more under the radar. Any ideas/suggestions please send em in.

Now that we're out of the italicized text let's get down to business. Today we will be looking at Peggy Sue, another folk rock export from the UK somewhat in the vein of Mumford And Sons filtered through Fiona Apple. The acoustic based trio consists of Katy Young and Rosa Slade weaving their vocals together while drummer Olly Bruce holds down the beat. Add some guitars, accordion, strings, and biting lyrics and you've got the Peggy Sue sound.

The stop motion heavy animation below is the first official video for the track "Watchman" off of Fossils And Other Phantoms, the band's new album which was just released in the states last week. Of course that can only mean one thing: tour dates!  Starting tonight in Washington DC, Peggy Sue will play thirteen shows in North America before heading back across the pond. Dates are available after the jump.

If you want to hear more from Peggy Sue, Fossils and Other Phantoms is currently streaming on MSN (#22 on "More Listening Parties"), or just head over to their official site.

Chromeo Announce Business Casual Tour

Submitted by phletch on Tue, 2010-05-25 10:08

Montreal based synth-funkateers Chromeo have just announced their aptly titled Business Casual Tour. Aside from being the name of their upcoming third album, which is set for an August 17th release, it also just sounds extremely classy.  Joining in on the fun will be openers Holy Ghost! for a little over a month of good times all across North America.

Dave 1 and P-Thugg will be performing a special set at Bonnaroo with the legendarily smooth Darryl Hall, before heading across the pond for a slew of festival dates. The Buisness Casual Tour will begin July 26th in Washington D.C and will run through August 27th where the band will end their fun with Holy Ghost! in Atlanta. Two days later the fellas will fly back across the country for an opening slot for the Chemical Brothers at the Hollywood Bowl. Sounds like a fun summer to me.

You may also note the two off days for the fellas that just so happen to coincide with the Outside Lands Festival. Ranger Dave's lineup clues have confirmed that Golden Gate Park will be seeing at least one extremely fun dance party over that weekend. Good times.

Tickets for most shows go on sale tomorrow, May 26th through Ticketmaster.  Full dates are available after the jump. And just in case you have been missing out on all the awesome check out the video for Night by Night below, the first single off the new album.   [via CoS]

My Morning Jacket Announce August Tour

It literally was just yesterday that we were letting you know of My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James' upcoming Appalachian Voices tour. Well the rest of the band didn't feel left out for long as they have just announced a boatload of August tour dates to accompany their previously announced dates opening for Tom Petty. The tour will start in San Diego on August 11th and will see the band play a couple shows on the west coast before heading to Denver for the Mile High Festival on their way to the east coast for the previously mentioned Petty shows as well as some headlining dates of their own.

If you are a MMJ fan as well as someone that is planning on attending Outside Lands you should appreciate this itinerary for what it doesn't have, anything in Northern California and nothing on August 14th. Considering the band is playing Los Angeles August 12th and Ranger Dave's recent clues, it is a safe bet to plan on seeing My Morning Jacket rock Golden Gate Park late in the evening on Saturday Aug 14.  Party!

Tickets for the newly announced shows go onsale starting this Friday, May 21st through Ticketmaster with presales starting as soon as tomorrow. Up and coming Sub Pop band Avi Buffalo will handle opening duties on the MMJ headlining dates, you can check them out at their myspace.
