Something Corporate ,who just played the Bamboozle Festival in California, have announced they will be playing the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey and Chicago.
The band has also announced that they will be releasing a 2 CD Greatest Hits album titled Played In Space on April 27th. 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. A version exclusive to iTunes also includes a new recording “Letters To Noelle.”
Just having played Bamboozle Left, the performance at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on March 28th was a homecoming for singer-pianist Andrew McMahon, lead guitarist Josh Partington, bassist Kevin “Clutch” Page, and drummer Brian Ireland. They will also play Bamboozle Chicago on May 15th and Bamboozle East on May 1st. To coincide with the announcement of these shows, the Something Corporate online merch store is also relaunching. The new store features new t-shirt designs along with a few classics, and special pre-order packages that include the new album, a digital download, autographed merchandise items, and more!
Since going their separate ways in 2004, McMahon founded Jack’s Mannequin, released two critically acclaimed albums, and 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.”
