The Bravery, Maxïmo Park Kick Off U.S. Tour Tonight

When the Bravery return to the states in October, the (International) Noise Conspiracy will come in mics a-swingin' and revolutions espousin', continuing on until October 21. VHS or Beta will take over opening act duties until the scheduled stop at the Voodoo Festival on October 29-- which, you may recall, is traditionally held in New Orleans. The festival's website assures ticket holders that the event will still take place on the scheduled date, but that a new city and new venue are currently being sought. Instead of the slated two days of unrelenting hedonism, the festival's aim has shifted to the following credos: "supporting those in need and to aid in the rebuilding and preservation of the culture and heritage of New Orleans, which has served as home to Voodoo for the past six years." After the relocated festival date, the American tour will trickle into November, followed by a recently announced stint in the UK slated to last until just beyond Thanksgiving. Dates, all 49 of 'em:
