Pete Wentz's band Fall Out Boy performed for Rock the Vote (American Idol alum Chris Daughtry hit the sold-out show).
"We're throwing the band's name behind the idea of voting," singer Patrick Stump told Usmagazine.com at the concert.
"Foreign policy is something that's big for me personally," added lead guitarist Joe Trohman. "It'd be nice to get out of the war. If we could dramatically cut the number of wars we're fighting, that'd be good."
Wentz told Us that his band gets "text messages all the time from the troops about how various songs of ours have helped them while they're at war. There's something about that that makes you feel good."
Interestingly, the band's new album, Folie Deux, drops on November 4.
"Anytime you put out a record on election day, it adds a political connotation," Stump told Us. "Do I think it's a political record? Absolutely. Is it anymore or less political than our other records? Probably not."

Celebs also packed Monday's Creative Coalition delegation, with Alan Cumming wearing a brown Obama shirt and Susan Sarandon sporting an Obama button. Anne Hathaway, Tim Daly, Rachael Leigh Cook and Josh Lucas were also spotted.
Harold & Kumar star Kal Penn worked for a good part of the day as a "delegate whip," while Cyndi Lauper was spotted on the convention floor.

Chloey KOk this is what pisses me off. They call it Pete's band. It is not!!!!!! Is he lead singer? NO! He plays bass, and not magical skills either all he does is hit a few Chords. Patrick, Joe and Andy should get more credit than Pete after all, they do drum, sing,and play guitar better than he does, and for the rest of the stuff this is about, I DON'T CARE!report abuseposted November 5, 2008 3:54 PM PST
