After making a quick stop at Bonnaroo and gallavanting across Europe following the release of Octahedron, the Mars Volta have chosen to do a west-of-the-Mississippi exclusive tour as East Coast fans continue to stomp their feet in faux irritation. I’m betting they’re trying for New York in the cooler months when their fans won’t smell rotting garbage as they stroll over to a club. Thanks for thinking of us, guys. Check out tour dates after the jump.
