The Music Slut goes Morrissey
Our friends over at The Music Slut really love Morrissey. In fact, they love him so much that they’re already celebrating former Smith frontman turned solo extraordinaire’s 50th birthday… As Mozzer’s 50th birthday approaches (May 22nd), I wanted to celebrate in some sort of special manner. After much deliberation, I decided that a covers project [...]
Check Out: The Mars Volta – “Cotopaxi”
Just like they did with Bedlam In Goliath, The Mars Volta have released another uncharacteristically short single for their new album, Octahedron, due out June 23rd. While the length is uncharacteristic, the sound is most definitely still not; It’s still the same ol’ Mars Volta you’re used to, just a condensed version. Imagine cramming the [...]
Music + Cruise = Jam Cruise 8
Few festivals are as unique as Jam Cruise. In fact, no festival is as unique – after all, what other when can say its location is the Atlantic Ocean? On January 3, 2010, the MSC Poesia, aka a super beautiful cruise ship, will embark on a six day musical voyage, aka Jam Cruise 8. Yes [...]
Eagles of Death Metal have a Heart On for touring
Feeling no need to enjoy any downtime, Eagles of Death Metal are indeed back on the road. Still supporting 2008’s Heart On, Jeese Hughes and Co. – maybe Josh Homme?, will crisscross the U.S. and Canada following a slew of European festival appearances in late July. Included in this batch is an appearance at this [...]
Eminem shares “3am”
In the latest example of an early preview all but destroying any anticipation one could have for an upcoming album – here’s looking at you Lil Wayne, Eminem has released the video for “3am”. And as you could probably have guessed based on the aforementioned line, neither the sounds and styles of Relapse’s second single, [...]
An Afternoon with the Nine Lives of Astronautalis
Astronautalis is an expectation-challenging force in the world of rap music. Last year, his album Pomegranate blew listener’s minds with an intense and eclectic concoction of savage beats, sentimental melodies, and unique brand of lyrical storytelling that merges historical fiction and hip hop. Certainly not something you hear on an average day. Since the album’s [...]
Blink-182 set to tour, hold off on album…
Mark Hoppus may be the jokester behind the band, but if it’s about the current status of Blink-182, we’ll take him seriously. After all, he’s been waiting for this moment for quite sometime, and considering the hype that’s built up since their Grammy appearance, they only have to open the floodgates. Of course, they have [...]
Just what we needed…a traveling country festival!
If Wapred Tour co-founder Kevin Lyman has his way, beginning next year, a similar country-focused touring festival will kick off in the U.S. According to Billboard.com, Lyman, who has also launched the Rockstar Taste of Chaos and Rockstar Mayhem tours, is currently exploring the possibilities for a “country- a multi-act, multi-stage, sponsor-driven tour with heavy [...]
Where We Live: The Pageant / Delmar Loop – St. Louis, MO
In a city whose musical scene has been all but decimated by constant closings of music clubs and bars, The Pageant in St. Louis consistently brings great, sold-out shows week after week. Though not steeped in the musical history of other city venues such as Fox Theatre, or closed bars Mississippi Nights (demolished) and Creepy Crawl [...]
Lucero gets on MTV, celebrates with tour
What better way of celebrating a much coveted spot on MTV airwaves, then with a North American tour! Yes, in support of the channel’s new program $5 Cover, which is semi-fictional “musical drama” that focuses on the Memphis music scene and co-stars singer Ben Nichols, who plays himself oddly enough, Lucero has announced plans for [...]
