Switchfoot's 'Nothing Is Sound'
(CBS)
San Diego rockers Switchfoot are one of the hardest-touring bands in the business.
They've performed 400 shows in the last two years and enjoyed the success of hit singles like "Meant To Live" and "Dare You To Move." The band now celebrates the release of its CD "Nothing Is Sound," featuring their current hit, "Stars."
Jon Foreman, Tim Foreman, Chad Butler, Jerome Fontamillas and Drew Shirley visit The Saturday Early Show to perform "Meant To Live," "Shadow Proves The Sunshine," and, of course, "Stars." Don't miss the Second Cup Café.
Since the 2003 release of the double-platinum breakthrough album "The Beautiful Letdown," the five surfers have sold more than one million concert tickets worldwide.
The band got its name from the surfing term, switchfoot, which means to switch the foot with which you lead while surfing. It was formed in 1997 by brothers Jon and Tim Foreman and their longtime friend Chad Butler.
When the band isn't performing, it is busy working on projects for their charity, "lowercase people," which has the group traveling all over the world. The organization is designed to bring artists together and to have an outlet for people to share ideas on how to help others worldwide.
