Coldplay Gives So. Cal the Cold Shoulder



Today, Coldplay announced their North America tour. On June 17th, they will release their fourth cd entitled "Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends." The first single from the cd was released last week and I was impressed with the heavy guitar and its darker lyrical tone. Produced by the legendary Brian Eno, this record has the potential to be their best and most experimental body of work.

To my disappointment, the band will skip Southern California entirely on their summer tour. I do not see the logic in this decision. Opting to play in the armpit known as Sacramento and the metropolis of San Jose, instead of LA is a big mistake. Who cares about those two cities??? In California, there are only two venues that matter. LA and San Francisco. Why Coldplay? Needless to say, I am quite irritated.

Don't worry, there are usually multiple legs to a tour and I'm pretty sure they will play LA before the end of the year.
