Band of Skulls will grace this country’s shores once again, touching down in Los Angeles on November 6 to perform at the Twilight Saga: New Moon cast event at the Hollywood and Highland Center. The event is open to the public and will feature performances from several of the bands included on the New Moon soundtrack, including Death Cab for Cutie, Anya Marina, and Sea Wolf in addition to Band of Skulls.
