SOUNDGARDEN: Tour Dates Announced - Apr. 14, 2011

Since the band's final show in Hawaii in 1997, SOUNDGARDEN fans have hoped that Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell, Ben Shepherd, and Kim Thayil would once again take their exalted rock show on the road. This summer, SOUNDGARDEN will do just that.

The band has recently confirmed that they are in the studio in Seattle, and are writing and recording what will be the first new SOUNDGARDEN album in over 15 years. In the meantime, they will take a break to play a city near you. Today, four shows from their summer tour are announced, with more to come in the coming weeks.

The pre-sale for the SOUNDGARDEN fan club begins on April 18 and the tickets for Toronto, Philadelphia and Los Angeles will go on sale to the public on April 23. Denver will go on sale to the public on April 24.

SOUNDGARDEN's first-ever official concert album, titled "Live On I5", sold 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 47 on The Billboard 200 chart. The set is compiled of live tracks from a 1996 West Coast tour by the band and is named after the Interstate 5. SOUNDGARDEN had intended to release the tapes of these shows as its first live album shortly after the tour, but the group ended up disbanding and the tapes were left in the studio, untouched for years.

SOUNDGARDEN released a CD/DVD retrospective set last September called "Telephantasm", featuring singles, album cuts, live material and the previously unavailable "Black Rain", which has been nominated for a Grammy Award.

If they end up disgustingly expensive, I'm going to be very disappointed in Soundgarden.

If they're going to charge 60-70 for tickets, I'm going to just download their album rather than buy it.

Eddie Vedder should slap them across their faces :doubleoldticketmaster:

I thought grunge died. Chris Cornell -->

Go back to Audioslave. At least Tom Morello was in that band.

Well, this is going good for me so far. I seem to have been received well here.

The creatures inhabiting this place are a spiteful breed, prone to intense disapproval of anti-Soundgarden sentiments. It would be safe to dub this place "Soundgardenia" for it seems that this band is central to the life of the creatures living here. I shall call them "Soundgardenians" and I will cross breed them to the point of extinction, because they don't like me.

Tom Morello's Audioslave riffs were the shittiest he's ever written and Cornell's post-Soundgarden vocals are a joke.

I think someone is a little angry. I think this someone might also be a little bit mad, a little bit aggravated, a little bit agitated, un poco loca, un peu fou, ein bisschen verrückt, un po 'matto, lite galen, 少し怒って, et cetera.

Cat Hallucination can be an anagram for Hint At Lacuna Coil

Gay Rape Party can also be an anagram for Try a Gay Pear, P.
