backstreetchix97 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yay, I can't wait. I'm gonna follow them from San Diego to Carson! I'd do Frisco too but that's way too far and out of my expense allowance = X I was gonna try and meet them today at the Convention Center in Downtown Los Angeles but parking there is SOOOOOO expensive that I'm probably just gonna skip it and follow them around in July. I'd gotta make some sacficices. Although I am still gonna try to watch them walk the red carpet tomorrow @ the Grammy's! *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busybeeburns Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Amadou & Mariam Announce North American Tour; Join Coldplay in July Amadou & Mariam, whose latest album, Welcome to Mali, is slated for a US release on Nonesuch next month (Washington Post rock critic J. Freedom du Lac exclaims: "Best thing I've heard this year."), have just finalized their North American summer tour. The Malian couple will headline six shows in the US and Canada starting with a June 2 show at Chicago's Park West and stopping in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, and New York, with a final show at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia, on June 10. But the show doesn't end there. Amadou & Mariam have also been tapped to join Coldplay for two weeks of the British band's own US tour. The duo support Coldplay for two weeks, from the July 10 show at the Amphitheater at Clark County, just across the Washington state line from Portland, Oregon, through the July 24 show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, Missouri. This isn't the first touch of Britpop tied to the pair's latest project. Damon Albarn, of Blur and Gorillaz fame, among others, appears on Welcome to Mali as producer of its opening track, "Sabali," on which he also contributes programming, bass, keyboards, and backing vocals; and on the second album track, "Ce n'est pas bon," playing keyboards. Welcome to Mali was released last November in the UK to great critical acclaim, taking the top spot on Metacritic's as the best-reviewed album of 2008. Both Observer Music Monthly and Uncut give the album a perfect five stars, and Pitchfork gives it an 8.4, stating: "'Inevitable' is a pretty good word for the stardom of Amadou & Mariam. People this amazingly talented and open to new sounds and ideas rarely remain obscure, especially after so many years honing their craft and building their catalog."

polkahard Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Is Snow Patrol really only on "opener" status in America? I feel like they'd be a bit bigger...then again, this is Coldplay. Too bad I'm missing them by a week though! Well, at least I get to see Elbow in August! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Frick. Snow Patrol opening for both Coldplay and U2, and my location's not getting either of them. :( Heck, I'd also take Elbow over Miriam & Whoever. You June show folks have a blast, though. I really hope Snow Patrol does a regular tour over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
