It's All About The Music

Brit-pop school chums The Music have confirmed 11 dates across the U.K. that will coincide with their as-yet-untitled sophomore release, according to their Web site.

Before entering the homeland, the band will play two early August dates in Japan, then travel to Cambridge, U.K., in late September and wrap it up in London on October 7.

In November 2002, The Music made their U.S. debut touring with Aussie sensations The Vines and fellow Brits Coldplay. That tour was in support of their self-titled full-length debut.

The band went on to play Lollapalooza 2003 and several shows in England.

Their forthcoming album was recorded with producer Brendan O’Brien (Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan) in the early part of August, and will be released in September.
