Love the best-selling soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon? Starting November 6, you can love it live, in person, as, according to Rolling Stone, bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Skulls, and Anya Marina play sets inside – where else? – Hot Topic stores across the country. You heard that right: Death Cab is playing Hot Topic. Let the revoking of the indie credentials begin!
Alright, alright. We understand why Death Cab has to make the promo effort. Their song, "Meet Me on the Equinox," is the first single off of the enormously popular New Moon soundtrack, which has become a chart topper despite debuting weeks before the actual film it accompanies. And of the seven planned promo stops, Death Cab is only playing one show – the November 6 Hollywood show that will kick off a New Moon tour of cities like Chicago, Boston, and Seattle.
Perhaps more importantly for Twilight fans, each musical performance will be paired with an in-store Q&A with stars from the films. This time around, however, Robsten and Taylor get to stay home; most of the stops will feature the pairings of Ashley Greene & Kellan Lutz; Edi Gathegi and Jamie Campbell-Bower, and Volturi guards Charlie Bewley and Daniel Cudmore.
The biggest appearance will be the first stop in Los Angeles, where Death Cab will be joined by Band of Skulls, Sea Wolf, and Anya Marina, and a large cast contingent will include no less than ten Twilight stars, including members of the New Moon Wolf Pack.
