Fresh from announcing a foray into the computer games market, big-rock conquistadors The Mars Volta have announced three live shows for early next year.
The band will be over to push new album The Bedlam of Goliath, which is released on January 29th in the US; presumably indicating a similar time of arrival over in the UK and Europe. Click here for details on the new record.
The schedule, listed below, is quite sparsely populated. Expect gaps to be plugged:
February
2 Manchester Apollo
March
11 Glasgow Carling Academy
14 London Brixton Academy
Tickets will cost you £17.50, unless you live in London where they’re a pound extra. Find them here.
And, as Mike Diver says below, expect an interview with the band to run in the coming weeks here at DiS.

yip!

Off to Brixton :D
Pretty crap excuse for a tour, mind, considering they missed us out completely for Amputechture.
Already asked the rentals to get us a ticket...
w00t w00t!
But don't expect those gaps to be filled, Mars Volta are notorious failures at rigourous UK touring. There's a slight possibility of a Brum date, but that'll be all.
Interview
Coming pre-Christmas.
Fuck yeah...
Seaking.
Very excited for that.
Who's heard the leaked Bedlam tracks? TMV are one of the rare bands I try not to 'spoil' until I can actuzlly get a physical product (already pre-ordered off Play)
