JONTI
facebook.com/jontidanimals

A year ago, if you were to mention Gotye in the USA, no one would know who that was. He got a massive, massive hit with "Somebody That I Used to Know" (which hit #1 on the Billboard charts.) Anyway, Gotye has asked Jonti to come out on tour with him in August. How lucky!

Jonti added, "I will be embarking on an amazing journey with Gotye and his crew across the US and Europe. To see all those city name's and venues like Radio City and Greek Theatre is a little scary, but way more exciting. I'm really looking forward to the tour at the moment!"

He starts the tour next week, August 22nd. If everything works out, I'll be seeing Jonti at Minneapolis' US Bank Theater (across the street from First Avenue). I'll expect to hear music from Jonti's albums, Twirligig and Sine & Moon. Also check out his mixtape for Under the Radar magazine.

STRUNG OUT
strungout.com

Who can believe that this legendary punk band is still around? I remember playing their songs when I was a radio DJ at KFSR 90.7 FM. For a time in the 90s, South-Cal punk was the thing. Of course, we also had ska, but you never really hear ska bands in the news (well, okay, I know Mighty Mighty Bosstones are on tour.)

Anyroad, Strung Out just played at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis, and they're still on the long "Twisted In A Suburban Wasteland" tour for North America. What makes this tour cool is that they're doing every songs from two albums, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues and Twisted By Design.

Why are they doing this? Singer Jason Cruz answered, "It feels right to do one last retrospective before we head into the making of another album. I think people will really enjoy these older songs played back to back."

Most of these dates are with Such Gold, who I previously mentioned.
