Atlanta's Mastodon celebrated Cinco de Mayo this weekend with a face-melting set at Seattle's Fenix Underground. The Aqua Teen soundtrack heroes were supported by Saddle Creek's Cursive, still riding high on their 2006 album Happy Hollow. (Also on the bill: Sire punks Against Me!)

The Grammy-nominated metalheads will continue stomping across the continent this month, tapping Seattle's own These Arms are Snakes to open through most of the rest of May. After that, they're off to Norway where, as previously reported, they'll join Interpol and Arcade Fire and just about everybody else at the Hove Festival. More tour dates and photos after the jump.

Cursive join Mastodon for all of the rest of their North American dates. Better catch 'em now before we lose Tim Kasher to Hollywood.
