Switchfoot loves the Philippines.


Which is why they're playing a concert there in September! - September 10th in Manila, according to this site. They are also playing to benefit the International Justice Mission, a human rights agency that rescues victims of violence, sexual exploitation, slavery, and oppression. (This is the same organization that Jon played to support at The Freedom Project benefit back in April). So if you live in the Philippines, enjoy amazing live music, and are passionate about justice, then get excited for September.

In this CD review of a band called Green River Ordinance, the writer compares the lead singer to Jon, saying that he has "One of those voices you could listen to for hours on end" (alongside Chris Martin of Coldplay). I've never heard someone describe his voice that way before, but now that I think about it, I'd have to agree.

The Real SeanJon gets a plug in this article about Nickel Creek's "Farewell For Now" tour:
Sean has been collaborating for a while with his neighbor, Switchfoot singer Jon Foreman on a humorously titled group called "The Real Sean Jon" that they recorded at their houses and hope to have out later this year.

Later this year, eh? Sounds good to me.

Lastly, the guys did a short interview (and acoustic performance of Awakening) with a San Diego radio station back on July 2nd. Click here to listen. The DJ is completely amazed with Switchfoot's live show, and he doesn't hide it. Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks their stage presence is high quality.
