Blue October is heading out on their “Pick Up the Phone” tour later this month, with plans to travel through the end of April to various clubs throughout the U.S.
Supporting “Approaching Normal,” the band has about 20 shows coming up , and they’re constantly adding more dates.
Stay tuned for more information on Blue October Tickets.
Blue October’s “Approaching Normal” tour kicks off on March 31 with over 30 tours throughout the U.S. The tour is in support of their recently released fifth studio album of the same name.
“Making the record is great. For this album I loved sitting in control room, soaking up knowledge from Steve (Lillywhite)…being drawn into that creative state where you don’t even want to go outside,” said drummer/backup vocalist Jeremy Furstenfeld. “But with the live aspect, there’s a mass of people singing the lyrics to your song passionately and that’s amazing. People come up to us all the time and talk to us about our music. With “Hate Me” Justin got a lot of, “Man, you really saved my life.” It seems like we are making a difference.”
Don’t wait to get your tickets for this amazing Texas band!
Blue October is stumping for their new album, Approaching Normal. Let the media blitz begin.
Ok, blitz may too strong a word. But the band did nab an appearance to perform a “mini concert” on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, March 25th. If you are in the Los Angeles area, you can get free tickets to the outdoor show through the band’s website. Otherwise catch it on TV tonight on ABC.
It’s finally here! The new Blue October album, Approaching Normal, has been released and the band is getting ready to launch their media promotions.
For this album, the band worked with producer Steve Lillywhite of U2 fame. It’s the follow up to their 2006 platinum selling release, Foiled. Songs bounce back and forth between expressions of joy, such as in “Jump Rope”, and self-torture and jealously that appear in “The End.” Other key tracks include the first single, “Dirt Room,” and “Blue Skies”.
When talking about the breadth of songs on the album, singer Justin Furstenfeld says, “What is normal? Everyone’s sense of normal is at risk over something, happiness or sadness or, god forbid, madness. Blue October is a mood. Whether you listen to the words or not, the music sets a tone and as for the lyrics, well, you either love it or hate it.”
