Eventful Demand to connect with their fans and empower them to help shape
their tour. Eventful Demand is quickly becoming a phenomenon in the music
and entertainment industry.

since we can't make it everywhere, we're really excited to be able to let
our fans decide where to go. A great bonus is to be able to spread the
message about how important it is to get involved and register to vote in
the upcoming election. We're excited to be working with Eventful and Rock
the Vote on this unique competition," said The All-American Rejects.
"We are encouraging fans to register to vote at the same time they are
voting for The All-American Rejects to play in their city. Connecting voter
registration to pop culture and music is core to Rock the Vote's mission to
engage young people across the country who are demanding to be heard in
this historic election," said Heather Smith, Executive Director, Rock the
Vote.
Launched June 24th, The All-American Rejects Demand competition will
continue through 2:00 p.m. PT, September 15, on Eventful. The winning
cities will be announced on September 15.
"It's an honor to work with Rock the Vote and The All-American Rejects
to promote voter registration and broader youth engagement in the political
process," said Jordan Glazier, CEO of Eventful. "We're excited to help The
All-American Rejects give their fans the power to shape their tour."
Along with MySpace, YouTube, and iTunes, Eventful is quickly becoming
an essential part of the online marketing toolkit for performers and
artists, empowering fans to influence the touring decisions of their
favorite performers and enabling performers to make the best decisions

The cosmic post-rock band Mogwai was formed in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1996 by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Braithwaite, guitar player Dominic Aitchison, and drummer Martin Bulloch, longtime friends with the finish of creating "grave guitar music." Toward that end they added some other guitar player, John Cummings, before debuting in March 1996 with the single "Radio," a curiosity in the Mogwai discography for its big vocals; the followup, a tear individual with Dweeb titled "Angels vs. Aliens," landed in the Top Ten on the British indie charts. Following appearances on a series of compilations, Mogwai returned later on in the year with the 7" "Summertime"; after another early 1997 individual, "Fresh Paths to Helicon," they issued Ten Rapid, a ingathering of their earliest material.
Around the prison term of recording the brilliant 1997 EP 4 Satin, previous Teenage Fanclub and Telstar Ponies member Brendan O'Hare united the lineup in time to record Mogwai's debut studio LP, Mogwai Young Team, exiting a short time later to come back to his primary projects, Macrocosmica and Fiend. Again a quartet, Mogwai adjacent issued 1998's Kicking a Dead Pig, a two-disc remix collection; the No Education = No Future (Fuck the Curfew) EP appeared a few months later. In 1999, they released Come On Die Young. Rock candy Action arrived in early 2001. Late that year, Mogwai released the My Father, My King EP; deuce years later, they issued the ironically coroneted Happy Songs for Happy People. Administration Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2004 arrived early in 2005. Mr. Beast, which was released in 2006, institute the band sledding in a softer, more reflective direction. Late that year, the band's coaction with Clint Mansell on the soundtrack to The Fountainhead arrived; Mogwai as well crafted the scotch for Douglas Gordon's Zidane: A twenty-first Century Portait, which was released in the U.K. in 2006 and in the U.S. the following springiness.
