Atmosphere Tour America

Bigger than Jesus, wrestling, the Beatles, breast implants, guns, and cigarettes combined is Atmosphere's current tour itinerary. Or something like that.

Tonight, MC Slug and producer/DJ Ant launch their hefty jaunt at Pomona, California's Glasshouse. The duo will forge across the United States over the next two months, touring band in tow. In addition to dropping by the standard venues, Atmosphere are scheduled to hit Coachella, HFStival, Bonnaroo, and even Niigata, Japan's Fuji Rock Festival. Brother Ali and Los Nativos support on all non-festival dates.

Those too cheap to pick up a ticket can catch Atmosphere on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" tomorrow night at 11:05 Central. Viewers interested in watching the pair on television without risking a Kimmel-induced drop in IQ can scope out Atmosphere's new video for "Say Hey There", currently in post-production and expected to hit the air in the near future.
