Jeff Beck plans solo album, as does Ronnie Wood and Al Jardine
Leave it to last weekend’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony to bring about the details of not one, not two, but three new solo albums from some of music’s biggest names. Thanks to some serious loose lips and awesome due diligence by the fine folks over at Billboard.com, it’s time to get [...]
Interview: Chris Thompson (of The Screaming Blue Messiahs)
The name may not sound familiar to you, but guitarist/vocalist Chris Thompson is one of the busiest musicians in London at the moment. The bluesy and eclectic axe-slinger started his career in the early 1980′s with one of London’s most rocking underground groups Motor Boys Motor with guitarist Bill Carter. After many gigs, the band [...]
KISS wants you to plan its tour
Is your life long dream to map out the tour of your favorite band? Ok, so maybe it’s not anyone’s “dream” per say, but you can definitely call what KISS is doing to celebrate its 35th anniversary unique. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, and Tommy Thayer have partnered with Eventful.com for the first-ever “Fan-Routed” [...]
Aerosmith leaves the studio, hits the road…
Despite reports from Joe Perry two months ago, Aerosmith is not ready to put out another album. They are, however, still ready to hit the road. Beginning June, the Boston rockers will trek across North America with a heavy satchel of hits, possibly some new cuts, and a slew of bearded Texans. Yes, you heard [...]
Watch: Metallica at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame
We could go into a long diatribe about the history of this, the thrash metal turned blues alt turned sludge rock turned metal outfit known as Metallica. We could speak at length about their contribution to rock music, the modern guitar solo and the rise of P2P file sharing. We could go on and on [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 4/6)
Although most students have already had their spring breaks, and most people above the age of 25 have only vague memories of any spring vacation, late-night talk show hosts have decided to kick their feet up for the week and throw on some reruns. Not a single episode is new this week. More like Lame [...]
The Dago Dish: Death springs back to life
I’ve recently stumbled across some alarming news: There are new forefathers of punk rock. Apparently, their very existence had been unbeknownst to all of us until the recent advent of a reunion of sorts. Just last week I had so callously proclaimed all such “events” as half-empty-drivel, but a recent show at The Monkey House [...]
CoS Giveaway: Jane’s Addiction
Face it, the hottest reunion this year is Perry Farrell’s former alternative outfit, Jane’s Addiction. The original line up hasn’t been together in years, and it doesn’t hurt they’re sporting one of the coolest tours in ages (NIN? C’mon!). Something tells us that Farrell and co. are hip to this idea, which might explain why [...]
Son Volt plans “dusty” summer
No sooner do we celebrate the onset of quarter #2 then it’s time to start thinking #3, and what appears to be a dusty one at that. On July 7th, Son Volt will return with its sixth studio album, a 12-track effort entitled American Central Dust. According to Billboard.com, the album, which will mark the [...]
Yak Ballz plays a secret show in Wicker Park (4/4)
I expected to spend my Saturday dancing into the night with Ladytron and The Faint over at Chicago’s Metro. However, my hopes were soon shattered upon arriving only to find that my name had been neglected from the list (always get the tour manager’s phone number). So, I made a quick change of plans and [...]
