Well, well, well what do we have here, it's only the Omar Rodriquez Lopez Group playing live at Fitzgerald’s in Houston during last SXSW madness in Texas. Cedric Bixler-Zavala also joined the band onstage only fuelling the rumours that the new Mars Volta album is complete and ready to give our ear drums a good seeing to. Adding with the announcement of The Mars Volta playing Sonisphere Festival this July I think that rumour is almost a definate. Enjoy the performance up at the top courtesy of Music For Perfect People.
As you can tell we are really excited this week being music week for SXSW. We are also excited to see this talented musician live as well, Mr. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta. Next month, Omar will release a quadruple LP / double CD collection from his multiple solo and collaborative albums that he's released over the last year titled Telesterion. This track is a bonus track found on the compilation and is taken from the yet to be released album The Somnambulists. Check out the tune "Casate Colmillo" in the player below.
The Mars Volta have recently completed recording their sixth studio album and are set to showcase their new tunes with an exclusive performance at this year's Sonisphere. Can't wait for the new stuff!
Forever busy, Omar Rodriguez Lopez has just released another 2 albums. One full studio and one Live album Recording of the Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group which was recorded over 4 Nights in September 2010. The studio album is entitled Mantra Horishima and the live recording takes on the name どういたしまして or in English You're Welcome. You can purchase the albums over here on Omar's site. He's not asking for much, just $4.99 for You're Welcome and $6.99 for Mantra Horishima. You can donate as much as you like though and as he puts it "it all goes toward financing this habit." And if more artists had a studio itch like Omar a lot more material would be out for us to enjoy. Check out a few tracks below to wet your appetite.
