<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">UK five-piece,
<b>Gomez</b>, have announced additional tour dates in support of their recent debut,
<b><i>Whatever’s On Your Mind</i></b>. In addition to playing <b>NYC’s Terminal 5</b> on
<b>July 14</b> and performing in the <b>Dave Matthews Band Caravan</b> in <b>Chicago</b>, the band will be hitting
<b>Austin City Limits </b>and<b> </b>the <b>House of Blues </b>in <b>LA </b>as they make their way out to the West Coast playing select dates with the<b> John Butler Trio
</b>and <b>Devotchka</b>. Additionally, they will be hitting the small screen with performances on
<b><i>The Late Show with David Letterman </i></b>on <b>July 13</b> and <b><i>The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
</i></b>on <b>July 25</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">The band also just released the brand new video for their hit single
<b>“Options”</b> on <i>AOL Music</i> – a track <i>Men’s Health </i>called “a horn-driven power-pop cut about slackerdom that’ll make you miss the ‘90s.” Here, we see
<b>Ian Ball </b>(literally) running through all the different paths his life could have taken. “The idea came to me whilst driving past a guy shouting in the street at nothing in particular; holding a gigantic Starbucks, he was highly agitated by something
and the only thing I caught was ‘at least I've got options.’ It started me thinking about the life choices that will confront us all sooner or later” said Ball.
<b>Check out the video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYApHEUCs8s">HERE</a>!</b></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Serving as the follow-up to their acclaimed 2009 release,
<b><i>A New Tide</i></b>, their forthcoming <b><i>Whatever’s On Your Mind</i></b> sees
<b>Gomez (Ben Ottewell, Tom Gray, Paul “Blackie” Blackburn, Ian Ball and Olly Peacock)</b> pushing their limits in a way we have not yet heard. The band partnered up with longtime friend,
<b>Sam Farrar </b>(Phantom Planet) to co-produce and sought out to feature other artist friends on the record,
<b>Luke Steele</b> (Empire of the Sun, Sleepy Jackson) and <b>Stuart Bogie</b> (Antibalas, TV on the Radio, Iron and Wine).
<b><i>Whatever’s On Your Mind</i></b>, finds <b>Gomez </b>driving forward on a beautifully lush and dynamic album. There is a fresh feeling of rebirth and awakening. One to raise a smile even from the naysayers. A broad grin from the rest of us.
