Ted Leo and the Pharmacists to Open for Pearl Jam
Don't they just look like one big happy Photoshopped family?
Hmmm, wonder if they'll spend any time talking politics? Pearl Jam have made their selections for the opening slots on their forthcoming summer U.S. tour, and dashing young punk Ted Leo and his Pharmacists are among them.
It seems Ted and company will take up with Eddie etc. starting June 19 in Camden, New Jersey and follow the stadium-rock staples through the rest of the month. Actually, it sounds like a good choice all around: Pearl Jam get one of the best live bands in the world to front for 'em, and Ted can school the masses to the ways of the world a few more folks at a time than he's generally accustomed. Plus he gets to rock Madison Square Garden!
Kings of Leon, who are kind of the complete antithesis of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, will open the rest of Pearl Jam's tour.
Ted, sans Ed, hits the UK next month. He also recently remixed Spoon's "Don't You Evah" for an upcoming single, and appears on the just-released DVD of the first season of "Human Giant".

And I'm excited to be seeing them in one night.
Then how does that explain their orgasms for everything that Radiohead puts out? You don't have to like Pitchfork, I don't either, but heaven forbid someone doesn't like Pearl Jam because they *gasp* don't like them.
Plus, they didn't even say anything bad either. It's not like they said Leo can "teach Pearl Jam a thing or two about being a live band." It was a credit to Leo not a knock against Pearl Jam. Come down... this thread is something about nothing.
