 Music Fix with Pogo: The Raconteurs

The RaconteursMusic Fix With Pogo: The Raconteurs have announced their summer tour dates, to coincide with the release of their 2nd record, 'Consolers Of The Lonely', which arrived last week. The band will make it across North America, including festival stops at Coachella and Bonnaroo. Now, the itinerary is suspiciously lacking a Chicago date. As well, it lists nothing for August 1st-3rd. Might we hear their name when the Lollapalooza lineup gets announced on Monday, April 7th? I guess we'll see. In the meantime, to read up on how 'Consolers Of The Lonely' just may go down as an historical release, check out my March 25th blog with Metromix TV here.
