So Gomez's new album, A New Tide, might teeter on the line of "meh," but that doesn't mean their live shows will faulter. Live is what Gomez does best, making each sappy, ooh & aah love song of their's sound like an all out funky rager. In celebration of the new studio cuts the Brits will be heading off on a US tour beginning May 22nd in Detroit, Michigan that culminates with their June 12th Bonnaroo slot.

Worth the ticket. And if you only could pick up 2 of the tracks off A New Tide, check out "Airstream Driver" and "Little Pieces." Those should leave you satiated
