The Coathangers Scramble U.S. tour dates
Hot on the heels of a rockin’ performance at the Brodown Hoedown during South by Southwest last March, everybody’s favorite all girls quartet, named after shoulders designed to facilitate the hanging of a coat, jacket, sweater, shirt, blouse or dress in a manner that prevents wrinkles, with a lower bar for the hanging of trousers [...]
Swans thinking reunion? Tour? Album?
Seminal (again with that word) noise rockers Swans could be returning, and no, this is not a joke. At a solo performance at Tufts University this past Sunday, the band’s founding member, Michael Gira performed a set composed of both old and new material. Following the show, Gira stuck around for a Q&A session and [...]
The Flaming Lips cave in, will take part in P4K Festival’s “Write the Night”
The moral of this story? Bitch and you’ll get your way. The Pitchfork Music Festival and the Flaming Lips are pleased to announce new details about the band’s very special festival performance. As previously reported, the veteran psychedelic rockers will close out the 2009 Pitchfork Music Festival on the evening of Sunday, July 19 at [...]
Sugar Ray plays Music for Cougars, learns to “Fly” again
At first I thought to myself, “Perhaps this is my ‘Guilty Pleasure’ article biting me in the ass.” Maybe these flashbacks to high school are just that, simple delusions and deja vu. We could at least fathom Creed taking a swing at reuniting because Scott Stapp finally realized he is not Jesus. But between the [...]
Simian Mobile Disco to release Temporary Pleasure this summer
By Temporary Pleasure, we mean Simian Mobile Disco’s new album. Last we heard from these boys, they were busy becoming successful, thumb tacking their wall maps with places they toured through. Their debut album, Attack, Decay, Release, Sustain flew off the shelves and was downloaded by thousands, surprising even the best of cynics who still [...]
The Dago Dish: The Death of Classic Rock = Our Rock Education
Classic rock. What a genre. Radio enthusiasts across the world have grown up adoring the same bands, and an uncannily monotonous handful of their most overplayed songs. This is just how it is. What’s troubling is that these “expert” DJs are convinced each of these [said] bands had only a meager sample of memorably sonic [...]
The Stones Roses reissue The Stone Roses
Reunions take a lot of work. Reissues do not. So, given all the hoopla of late, perhaps it make sense that for the foreseeable future, The Stone Roses have chosen to stick with the latter. On August 11th, Ian Brown and Co. will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s self-titled debut with a reissue, [...]
One of the two guys from Daft Punk dabbles in soundtracks
With the return of Daft Punk still a year off, its member have some extra time to focus on other endeavors. For Thomas Bangalter, that apparently means penning soundtracks. According to a press notes from the Cannes Film Festival (via The Playlist), Bangalter has written the score for Gaspar Noé’s new film, Enter The Void. [...]
The White Stripes are alive and well, says Jack White
Thought the lackluster Conan send off and emergence of The Dead Weather spelled the end for The White Strpies? Think again, says Jack White in an interview with Music Radar.com. Considering that you, the reader, are probably in a state of numbness following the last sentence, let’s summarize so you still have some time to [...]
Black Eyed Peas + No Doubt + Slash = Some pretty shitty TV last night!
Last night saw the absurdly dressed Black Eyed Peas bring their equally absurd new single, “Boom Boom Pow”, while No Doubt and Slash stopped by American Idol for some pre-tapped, rock ‘n’ roll coolness. All in all, it made for some hilariously bad television viewing that is painful, yet somewhat entertaining to watch…
