Back when the ACL-fest line-up was announced, I remember being intrigued by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. Conor Oberst is the prolific singer-songwriter, from Nebraska whose voice you will recognize as the voice of Bright Eyes. If you don't know Conor's whole back story already I highly recommend the Wiki, it's a nice American tale. When I'm 40, there will probably be a Conor bio-pic starring the newest model of actor-droids...and we'll have flying cars powered by pollution from the past.
There still aren't any samples of the music or video from this new band on the ACL site, however. Conor Oberst.com has been revamped for the new band. So head on over and hear two tracks from Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band's album due out in early August and check out the tour schedule. This band is playing in places that I have never seen on any other tour schedule ever. Well, that's not true it's sort of like Manu Chao's tour schedule.
