Zune: On the Road with The Chemical Brothers

Embarking on their first tour in five years, The Chemical Brothers are going on tour with Zune as the latest on the road artist. If you haven't seen them live, here's what to expect - from the Guardian UK's review of their London show (at the roundhouse: "The theme is unremitting sensory overload, with gargantuan techno rhythms competing with lurid kaleidoscopic visuals."

Check the dates -

Sept 21                New York, NY                   Hammerstein Ballroom

Sept 22               Brooklyn, NY                    McCarren Pool

Sept 24               Chicago, IL                         Riviera

Sept 26               Denver, CO                        The Fillmore

Sept 28               San Francisco, CA          The Concourse

Sept 29               Los Angeles, CA               Nocturnal

I think that we're working on creating some cool visuals, so I'll post them as I have them. And yes, I'm already trying to score free tix - if I have any leftovers, I'll see about sharing them!
