]]> Big concert tomorrow night in the city – The Mars Volta will be playing the Sound Academy. The Mars Volta are a very cool band with a rockin’ smooth vibe.

The Mars Volta is an American Progressive rock group founded by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López in 2001. They are generally considered progressive rock, with jazz and Latin influences. They are known for their wild, energetic and improvised live shows, as well as their usually concept-based studio albums.

The roots of The Mars Volta are found in the side project of At the Drive-In members Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez known as De Facto; which also included Jeremy Michael Ward: audio technician, close friend, and cousin of At the Drive-In member Jim Ward.
