Aerosmith, ZZ Top shell out joint dates
In case you haven’t heard by now, Aerosmith has basically chosen to forgo work on its next studio album in favor of a two month road trip with a bunch of bearded old men. Ok, so maybe that’s putting it rather bluntly, but that’s certainly what will be the case when Joe Perry and Co. [...]
Phil Spector = Guilty as Charged
Phil Spector’s name should adorn the walls of musical innovation. His production style, most notoriously with the pioneering “wall of sound”, revolutionized the way music could be approached and appreciated. His resume sports such acts as The Beatles, The Ramones, and even Tina Turner. With a track record like that, it’s no surprise he was [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 4/13)
If you’ll recall, last week was Rerunapalooza on the talk show circuit. Now with Easter over, everyone’s back with new airings and a solid music lineup? Well played, deity. Well played. I’ve got to hand it to the late night crew: They picked some pretty good acts from all over the globe. You’d like to see [...]
Album Review: Silversun Pickups – Swoon
Two years ago, you couldn’t turn on MTVu or any modern rock radio station without hearing the fuzzy, dusty escapism of “Lazy Eye”. The Los Angeles quartet had done the impossible, they brought back the chunky distortion and hip, teenage ’90s angst without the help of Billy Corgan or Dave Grohl. Some still don’t know [...]
YouTube Live: The Raconteurs keep it “Level”
The Raconteurs, or The Saboteurs for the Australian crowd, came on to the music scene late 2005 not only with full force (e.g. a tour with Bob Dylan didn’t hurt) but with some backbone, too. After their debut single and alleged “seed”, “Steady As She Goes”, hit radio waves nationwide, mesmerized millions, who were longing [...]
Pennywise suffers tragic loss, continues onward…
With the beginning of the co-headlining Jagermeister Tour with Hawaiian reggae rockers Pepper, the Long Beach punk rock natives Pennywise suffered a tragic loss this past week. Kristian Dragge, the younger brother of founding guitarist Fletcher Dragge, passed away at the age of thirty nine, leaving behind his fiancee and one-month-old daughter. No cause of [...]
$10 dollar, $10 dollar tour dates!
Ok, so maybe it ain’t as catchy as the $5 dollar footlong song, but it certainly describes the current goings on for Against Me!. The politically mindful outfit recently embarked on a 16-date North American tour, which will see Tom Gabel and Co. hit the south for some pretty inexpensive musical shindigs, aka shows that [...]
Check Out: Fiona Apple slowly makes her return
Fiona Apple…Fiona Apple…the name rings a bell, right? Sure, it does. After all, we are talking about a Grammy winner here. It just that, well, the 31-year-old has kind of been out of the public spotlight for quite a while now – it’s been five year’s since the release of Extraordinary Machine and almost three [...]
Feedback, angst, and Death Cab invade Beale St. (4/11)
Memphis, Tennessee’s own Beale Street is a constantly buzzing musical haven. At any given time during the week, a drive through can reveal a great local musician applying their trade. On Saturday night, the sounds of feedback, angst, and clear displeasure came from the sold-out Orpheum Theatre. On any normal night, those sounds would lead [...]
The Dead may bring life to new album
Who would have thought that when The Dead announced plans for a reunion back in January, it would lead to so much. In addition to their recently launched North American tour, which as we now know includes a stop at The Gorge with some pretty famous brothers and an appearance at this summer’s Rothbury Music [...]
