1st set of 2012 tour dates to be announced tomorrow at 11am
"FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam0925
Not sure if it will be a slate of tour dates, but all signs point at least to MMJ headlining the Forecastle Festival in their hometown of Louisville. Forecastle has a press conference for 11 AM as well, and tweeted "The day is coming" yesterday.
It's a pretty nice little festival, which has grown by leaps and bounds in the ten years it's been here, finally moving in 2010 to the Great Lawn of the city's Waterfront Park, when Smashing Pumpkins and Flaming Lips headlined. They took 2011 off, as the founder sold the festival to AC Entertainment (owners of Bonnaroo) and took a job with them. Hopefully, the experience and clout of the new promoter will make this year's a solid festival with a good overall lineup. I guess we'll find out today!

ahhh, c'mon...look at the numbers... Forecastle has been blowing up the last few years....just got with AC Entertainment...the same ppl that do bonaroo...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Entertainment

Still holding on to a thread of hope that we'll get a Radiohead announcement.
And if that happens, I'll be OK with MMJ taking a summer off.
But until then...

They aren't taking the summer off, just havent announced yet. And Radiohead will be coming to Boston too. No doubt. If not, I want another Carl Broemel solo album.
Is it weird that I change the lyric to "Holdin onto black leather" or "Holdin onto black pedal" every time now?

Yeah, esp since both are wrong.
I'd welcome new Carl solo album too. I'd definitely wait to check some setlists before seeing MMJ again, unless they were playin somewhere really cool.
Very true. You and I were the only ones into Carl.
edit: or I'll say "Holdin onto black sweater"

am going to see MMJ in April in melbourne, a frist for me, so am hoping they live up to expectations
I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

trying to convert a friend to MMJ, what one (she has a really short attention span) song do you guys reckon is my best option?

Access for one to the PIT for MMJ's set on Saturday, July 14th
One Limited Edition MMJ Autographed Poster

Crap.
Now I'm going to hear that every time I listen to the song.
Curse you, Fenway Faithful! :x
I wonder how much it would cost to fly down to Kentucky for a weekend... :?
You got a spot to stay!
Yup. But I am super excited to see them in Louisville. Hopefully there will be some more dates announced.
