Nowinits secondyear, the Plea for Peace tour donates 10 percent of its gross to the National Hopeline Network 1.800- SUICIDE, anorganizationthat provides free national access to crisis counseling through a computer network that routes calls to the closest suicide. prevention center in caller's area. That is enough reason to supportthe Plea for Peace tour, but the lineup of bands is a better one. The Salt LakeCity show, while missing participants from other legs like Jimmy Eat World and The Donnas,hasa little something for everybody. The highlight has to be The (International) Noise Conspiracy, a Swedish quintet steeped in garage-rock sounds, political radicalism and, of all things, American R&B. The band’s biography claims the Conspiracy “aims to shake up the very foundation of the bourgeoise myth of the ‘rock star.’” No, The(International) Noise Conspiracy is not your ty] “sex, drugs and rock 'n’ roll” band, but the group never lets its politics get in the wayof creating a danceable, good-time vibe. If fellow Swedes The Hives have lured you into retro-garage fandom, youwill want to join this Conspiracy as well. Also performing with The (International) Noise Conspiracyon this leg of the Plea for Peace tour are primo-“emo”act The Promise Ring, Common Rider (featuring ex-Operation Ivy member Jesse Michaels) and Lawrence Arms.
