Our Lady Peace to begin tour Monday

Our Lady Peace is back with Burn Burn, a record chalk-full of sing-alongs that you'll proudly project loudly in public spaces or secretly play on repeat through the privacy of your iPod headphones. Raise your hand/email me back if you've happily found yourself humming along to OLP hits like "Superman's Dead," "Clumsy," "Life," "Starseed," "Somewhere Out There," or "Innocent" at least once in your life. You didn't mind it did you? People forget about Our Lady Peace... This is not a band that's trying to dig themselves out of the 90's rock wasteland like the majority of bands from that era. This is a band that's just as relevant today as they were 10 years ago.

OLP's live show is as good as it's ever been and was on display during recent sold-out shows in NYC and Los Angeles that had BILLBOARD gushing "OLP proved their readiness as arena-worthy superstars during the opening night of the Canadian act's U.S. tour." A raucous performance in LA last week left the Troubadour none-too-pleased with the damage OLP incurred. Lead singer Raine Maida victoriously climbed up to walls to the second floor during "All You Did Was Save My Life," leaving a heap of destruction in his wake. More like "All You Did Was Break My Soundboard" as far as the Troubadour is concerned.

Ultimate-Guitar is currently running a contest giving away 5 pairs of tickets to 10 of their upcoming August US tour dates with Electric Touch and Meese.
