Who wants to be Billy Corgan’s drummer?
At least 12 people do, according to smashingpumpkins.com. Among them? System of a Down’s John Dolmayan and The Lassie Foundation’s Frank Lenz. In fact, the talent was so good that Corgan may hold an additional tryout next month. Yay?
Jukebox the Ghost keeps the music going into the summer
A question for you all: Which of the following is better: a Jukebox the Ghost cover of Jenny Owen Youngs’ “Nighty Night”, or a month full of tour dates from the Washington, DC trio? Tough, right? Good thing you don’t have to choose. Ahead of their upcoming month-long North of American tour, the indie rockers [...]
Slash continues solo work…
Slash has been pretty quiet lately. Then again, after an explosive year like 2008, who could blame him? Drama seemed to follow the legendary guitarist everywhere. Yet despite being rather reclusive (taking notes from Axl, are we?), not much has changed for the guy. Not only has Velvet Revolver failed to find a replacement for [...]
M. Ward deals new tour dates, video
We don’t need to tell you that M. Ward has been a busy fellow in 2009, the evidence speaks for itself: He shelled out his seventh LP, Hold Time, made appearances on both Craig Ferguson and Dave Letterman, and has been on the road since March, a trip which culminated on Friday with an appearance [...]
Jane’s A-fighting!
When it comes to a band and a recently reunited one at that, the last thing fans probably want to read about said band just hours before its frontman is about to drop his festival’s lineup and just months before its members embark on their first U.S. tour in 18 years is that “war has [...]
Green Day pins down tour dates…
Alas, the dates for Green Day‘s upcoming, skyline-backed, surprise-filled North American tour in which the legendary California rockers will support the throwback, but albeit redundant “Know Your Enemy” and the 17 other tracks that make up the three acts telling the story of a “young couple, Christian and Gloria, through the mess and promise of [...]
Album Review: The Tragically Hip – We Are The Same
The Tragically Hip has been around for 20 years now. Unfortunately, the name of these Canadian rockers only works within the context of our northern neighbors. “The Hip” are more than well-known in native Ontario, but beyond the southern borders, they remain virtual, well, unknown. They hold a considerate generational gap with today’s ‘hip’, with [...]
The Dead Weather returns to the studio; big plans to come…
As last week’s debut performance proved, The Dead Weather is certainly not living up to its name. In fact, the new Jack White-led group is kicking up a storm, and recent word from guitarist Dean Fertita hints that this is just the calm. Months before its debut makes, well, its debut, the band is already [...]
Prince’s $2,100 iPod
Apparently Prince, or whatever his name is at the moment, isn’t feeling the effects of the current economic situation. Or at least, he isn’t aware of it. After all, the Purple One has just released 950 limited edition purple iPods for the low low price of $2,100. Now to be fair, the iPods are pre-loaded [...]
