Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Australian Tour Dates 2011

Omar Rodriguez Lopez from progressive rock band The Mars Volta has revealed the dates for his upcoming Australian tour in December after announcing his visit via his Facebook the other day.

Mexican garage punk band Le Butcherettes will support on the tour, and Rodriguez-Lopez will jump on bass guitar for their tour sets as well.

In Mars Volta related news, there’s been some talk about when Warner Bros will release the follow-up to the band’s 2009 album Octahedron, with fans slamming the Warner Bros. Facebook page in order to get a response.

The album has now been tentatively planned to be released early next year, with Bixler-Zavala admitting to taking heavy influence from Nick Cave’s Grinderman.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Australian Tour tickets will go on sale Monday 7th November.
