Aqualung to Play Lollapalooza, Tour With Fray

Alt-pop act (and, in the interests of fair disclosure, Kofi's-hat-naming) Aqualung took some time out from working on a new album with a few U.S. appearances this month. In August: a set at Chicago's Lollapalooza on the 4th from 1-2:30 PM at the adidas-Champs stage. At the same time, Cursive will metaphorically take the Q101 stage. Festivals are cruel.

In October, Aqualung goes on tour, supporting The Fray. All dates are either on sale or super-secret pre-sale. Hopefully no dates have sold out during a double-secret pre-pre-sale.

Ben Hales is co-producing the forthcoming, third album, and has been blogging about the process, as well as how it's changed since the first album, how the record industry has changed through the years, and the different agendas record labels and artists sometimes have ("Happily, Matt has never been interested in making music that is hard to understand, so both parties have the same objective (for now at least).")
Video of Matt Hales recording guide vocals is online, with more videos to come.
