TOUR SUPPORT ANNOUNCED
For R.E.M, one of the many great things about touring is the chance to
travel and perform with other musicians whose talents they respect and
admire. R.E.M has always chosen support acts which have something
unique to offer the R.E.M audience. The quality of the support acts on
this tour will be no exception. Depending upon where you live, you
will have the opportunity to see one of the following great acts on
the North American leg of the 2004 tour: 
Angela McCluskey,

beh... non sono nomi così conosciuti ,  tranne Trent Dabb e forse
"Now it's overhead" ....mi sembra di averlo già sentito... è un gruppo
di Athens se non mi sbaglio, che ha remixato una traccia dei rem....
mi sa che farò un giro nei siti di questi artisti...
Ciao!
Vero

 mi sa che farò un giro nei siti di questi artisti...
Come al solito i R.E.M. non si smentiscono, preferiscono pescare "dal basso"
quando scelgono i gruppi di supporto, piuttosto che buttarsi su nomi più
noti, come furbescamente fanno molti loro colleghi...
Personalmente conosco solo Joseph Artur (visto in Italia, decisamente
interessante!) e Now It's Overhead: si tratta della band parallela di un
membro dei Bright Eyes di cui al momento non mi sovviene il nome (non il
leader Conor Oberst comunque)... all'ultimo lavoro hanno collaborato le
Azure Ray, e lo stesso Michael Stipe si è reso utile ai cori in un pezzo...
Vince.
