Something Corporate Hits the Road!

LOS ANGELES, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The wait is finally over!  After a multi-year hiatus, Something Corporate is returning to the road on a multi-city tour during the month of August.  Frontman Andrew McMahon says, "I think the beauty of this reunion is that we waited until we were ready.  There is such a good vibe going between all of us and getting to play these songs again has been a true joy.  The festival dates have been a rush, but I think we're all fired up to get back into the clubs and theatres -- where we really cut our teeth for the first time."

Recently the band played three Bamboozle dates — Bamboozle Chicago, Bamboozle East and Bamboozle Left (Angel Stadium in Anaheim), the latter a homecoming for singer-pianist Andrew McMahon, lead guitarist Josh Partington, bassist Kevin "Clutch" Page, and drummer Brian Ireland.  

Something Corporate recently issued a 2-CD retrospective collection, Played In Space: The Best Of Something Corporate (Geffen/UMe), released on April 27, 2010, which brings together 14 highlights from the acclaimed Orange County, California band's career to date.  The first disc contains alt-rock favorites "I Woke Up In A Car," "If You C Jordan," "Punk Rock Princess" and "Space."  The bonus CD includes a new recording, "Wait," an exclusive remix of "Forget December," the fan-favorite rarity "Konstantine," the previously unreleased in the U.S. "Watch The Sky" and a new remix of "I Woke Up In A Car" by Owl City's Adam Young. The digital album version exclusive to iTunes also includes a new recording, "Letters To Noelle."

Since going their separate ways in 2004, McMahon founded Jack's Mannequin, released two critically praised albums, and miraculously defeated leukemia, while Partington formed the band Firescape. Only a brief appearance at Bamboozle Left in 2006 had brought them together until January 2010 when they re-entered a studio to "revisit a couple of demos ('Letters To Noelle' and 'Wait') that," said McMahon to the Orange County Weekly, "we still loved and that we always wanted to get to."

At the dawn of the new millennium, Something Corporate was hailed as one of rock's most promising new forces. A decade later, Something Corporate is back.
