BRIGHT EYES TO RETIRE
Conor Oberst is relinquishing his Bright Eyes moniker and told Rolling Stone Magazine he “needs to stop at some point. [He'd] like to clean up, lock the door, say goodbye”. One final Bright Eyes album is expected to be released next year.
In the meantime, catch Oberst, Jim James and M. Ward as they reunite in their “supergroup” Monsters of Folk, during a 16-city tour beginning October 13 in Vancouver, BC. See a ridiculous live show and feel good about it ’cause $1 of your ticket goes to a local charity. Could they be any more super? Be sure to become a fan for pre-sale tickets as well as snag your free download when you say “PLEASE!” <— or click there. Album due out September 22, 2009.
