Omar Rodriguez Lopez (The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In) announces spring 2011 North American headlining tour dates with his Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group, bookended by performances at next week’s SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX and the Coachella Festival in Indio, CA in April. Sibling band, Zechs Marquise will support most shows. Please see complete dates below.
In April, Omar will also release a quadruple LP / double CD collection culled from his multiple solo and collaborative albums. The extensive 37-song (38 on the vinyl version) compilation of the guitarist’s work, titled Telesterion showcases the variety and breadth of explorative artistry spread across his 25 (and counting) solo albums harvested for this release.
Telesterion will be available everywhere on Record Store Day, April 16th, 2011 via Rodriguez Lopez Productions / Sargent House.
