ITUNES FESTIVAL: Thirty Seconds To Mars + The Family Rain

Jared Leto is best known as an actor in 'My So-Called Life', 'Requiem for a Dream' and 'Fight Club', but since the late ’90s he has also been making melodic, proggy alt rock with his brother Shannon in Thirty Seconds To Mars. Their super-earnest, naffly poetic post-grunge bombast makes them the closest thing America has to Muse, especially on their electronically-tilted new concept album 'Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams'. They're incredibly popular, so this small, free iTunes Festival show will be very much in demand. The Family Rain, three brothers from Bath who make blues-influenced indie rock, play a support slot.
