Soundgarden announced dates for a U.S. tour today which surround their previously announced spring festival appearances. Tickets for the Detroit stop May 17th at the Fox Theatre go on sale Friday March 3rd. Presales kick off tomorrow (Tuesday, February 28th). Visit Soundgarden's official website for more info. The tour itinerary is posted below.
Soundgarden release a new expanded edition of their debut album Ultramega OK on March 10th. The original version was produced by Drew Canulette and was released by SST in 1988, but as the story goes, after the album's release Soundgarden realized they weren't entirely happy with the mix. Though they intended to remix the album for future pressings, the project was abandoned after getting signed to Sub Pop. Last year after re-attaining the rights to the master tapes the band enlisted Jack Endino to remix the original material for a new edition Ultramega OK. Soundgarden also unearthed six early raw demos recorded in 1987 for the expanded reissue which will be released on vinyl, cassette, and CD.
