Indie Rock outfit, Tegan & Sara are releasing a VERY limited edition T-shirt. The design for the shirt is competely different than the usual ones they release. Apparently, while on tour in Australia, Tegan and Sara were confronted by artist Glenno Smith who mostly designs shirts for hardcore bands. He presented them with a unique design and they decided to release it for a very limited run. The shirt is available for pre-order now and if you want to get your hands on one, you have to pre-order it before April 3rd. After the pre-order date, the shirt will no longer be available for purchase. The shirt is available in girls and guys sizes, cost $25 plus shipping and can be purchased here.  For more on the artist Glenno Smith click here.

I recently did a post announcing that Depeche Mode is doing a full US tour in support of their new album, "Sounds of the Universe" which hits stores April 20th. They will be performing Wednesday, August 19th at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Ticket prices vary from $49 to $99 depending on where you would like to sit with additional fees from Ticketmaster. Tickets for the Anaheim show do not go on sale until Monday, March 30th at 10 PM. There is a special KROQ pre-sale that starts at 10 AM this Friday, March 30th and ends at 10 PM the same day. This is a great way to get better seats before the mad rush of buyers next Monday. The password for the pre-sale is KROQUNIVERSE. Tickets can be purchased here.  A Depeche Mode tour is very rare these days meaning that this show is predicted to sell out quickly.  For more info on the band click here.
