My roommate and I went to the Gomez show at Tipitina's in New Orleans last Friday night.

He and another one of our friends went backstage and hung out with the band. They told him they will be playing ACL this year. Now, my roommate asked specifically about ACL "Fest", and they said, "yea, we're doing it."

But, my roomie hesitates to confirm....in case the band may have been confused, and are actually playing the TV show. Either way, Gomez rocks live...and would be a SOLID addition.

Gomez plays a lot of festivals, they fit the profile. Not being on hand, I suspect they assumed he was talking about the festival not the show.

And their new album is the best yet - check it out if you haven't!!!

I talked to them at SXSW about doing ACL and Ben said he loves it here but "it's too fuckin hot" (I guess he digs the chicks with tatoos) anyhoo, theres that.
