To be quite honest: Mars Volta kinda scares me. The hair, the epicness, the purposeful difficulty of it all - I just can’t deal most of the time.
But, lets face it, A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE THEM and they are playing Rams Head in Baltimore this September 21st.

If I am wrong and they DID play Black Cat in the Deloused era, I’m jealous. I caught them at a secret Troubadour and Echoplex show last spring/pre-NYE in LA, they’re a live show not to be missed.

I saw them put on a great show 2 years ago at the Black Cat to a shamefully 1/2 filled room.
