The 1990s were an excellent time to see live music. Not only were some of the oldest touring mainstays in their mature prime (i.e., Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers Band, Rush, Eric Clapton) but a legion of next generation bands were emerging as part of a new mentality of what it meant to have a tour following.

The kings of experimental punk-funk Primus recently unveiled the details for the release of Green Naugahyde, the band’s first studio album in 11 years. Green Naugahyde (ATO Records/Prawn Songs) will hit stores on September 13, 2011, and the band will be embarking on a month long 18-stop tour in support of the release.

Nineteen year old Adam Oberlin has been looking forward to this show for weeks.

ROTHBURY, the nation's first around-the-clock music and camping festival to implement maximum sustainability, near zero-waste initiatives and facilitate dialogue about climate change and clean energy solutions, is also giving back to the community with ROTHBURY's Solar Schools Program presented by RE: VOLVE APPAREL.
