MGMT, Surfer Blood, Jimmy Eat World to Play Free Shows at U.S. Open of Surfing

Tens of thousands of surfers, spectators and music fans ("surf and turfs?") will get treated to free concerts by MGMT, Jimmy Eat World, Surfer Blood (whose name nobody is hoping will become ironic), the Sounds and Dead Country at the 2011 Nike U.S. Open of Surfing this summer. The action sporting event will take place July 30 to August 7 in Huntington Beach, Calif., with the free, afternoon concerts scheduled for three consecutive days beginning August 4. And, yes, the concerts will be held right on the beach.

Jimmy Eat World's "Invented" to be released September 28th

Jimmy Eat World announced on their Twitter earlier today that their new album, titled Invented, will be released on September 28th.

After the initial announcement, the band then posted “Yes, we will be touring. Tour information is coming soon.”

Those who have been eagerly awaiting the follow up to 2007’s Chase This Light will be pleased to know that the group has reunited with producer Mark Trombino, who worked with them on their earlier albums, including 2001’s Bleed American, 1999’s Clarity and 1996’s Static Prevails.

Jimmy Eat World filled in for My Chemical Romance at Soundwave this year after being the “number 1 most-requested band by Soundwave fans.” Those fans will have to cross their fingers and hope that the new tour brings Jimmy Eat World back to Australia.
