It\u2019s been six years since The Mars Volta ended a decade-long hiatus, and the reunion doesn\u2019t look to be ending anytime soon, with a fall tour that stops in St. Petersburg in November.<\/p>\n

While on tour with Deftones last year, main creative forces Omar Rodr\u00edguez-L\u00f3pez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala made a point to stage an opening set that would make the El Paso band come off as a completely unknown act for fans that had never heard of it. The six-piece spent its set performing an unreleased album of brand new material called Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacio, thus beginning one of the strangest record marketing ploys of the year.<\/p>\n

After weeks of speculation, the album\u2014an electronic jazz collection that is simultaneously nostalgic to the band\u2019s roots and evolutionary for its sound\u2014finally released to the public last spring. There\u2019s currently no telling if the entire record will be performed on this tour, but this Jannus Live stop appears to be The Mars Volta\u2019s first time in the area since 2001, when it played the old State Theatre a few blocks over.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see The Mars Volta play St. Pete\u2019s Jannus Live on Saturday, Nov. 1 are still available and cost $70.40.<\/a><\/p>\n
