Tom Meighan, for those of you who may not know, is the explicit and unreserved frontman of UK alternative/ indie rock outfit Kasabian – a band that, for those of us who know well, like to say a thing or two about the state of our society. Meighan’s latest diatribe has come in the form of an attack on the most powerful outspoken voice of the modern world – the internet. According to the singer,…
Last month I tried to decrypt the meaning of the whole iamamiwhoami viral campaign that’s been circulating all over youtube since the beginning of the year. With not luck, of course, because you either have to be suffering from OCD of the highest level or you need to have way too much time on your hand. Judging from my desk and low posting rates on ZME, I don’t seem to cross with any of the…

One winner will be able to jam to Them Crooked Vultures on Rock Band 2 on their brand new XBOX 360! To enter the contest, all you have to do is register your details here and you’ll have…
Heck, the man wants a dragon on his roof! If you ever wondered what kind of home the eccentric Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne lives in, now’s your chance to take a glimpse. Basically, the man’s house is a faithful rendition of his wacky/psychedelia persona, and I’m sure no one could have imagine it otherwise. Check out some of the photos bellow of Wayne’s house published by Fitzsimmons Architects, the people responsible for its renovation….
Since I’ve received the press for their sophomore album “Life”, I became simply punch drunk in love with Uniform Motion’s eerie atmosphere. My talented co-editor Al Byrne put the band’s sound in words better than I ever could have a while back, when Uniform Motion was first featured on our website. “Anytime I receive a press release that labels a band “an extremely exciting arts collective [and] a perpetual multimedia art installation“, a tiny emergency…
On this year’s Memorial Day weekend (29-31 May) all attention will be shifted towards the little town of Gorge, Washington where the massive Sasquatch 2010 Festival is set to unfold. A complete and final press release is yet to have been released, but even so the line-up is more than impressive. The headlining acts for the fest are newly reformed Pavement, joined by My Morning Jacket and Massive Attack who all share top bunks for…
Wolfmother just recently premiered the video for their smashing heavy-funky groove single “White Feather”. Very simple and straight forward, the video basically features the band jamming crunchy riffs like there’s no tomorrow on a cross-fading dawning lighting. Heavy, heavy stuff! White Feather is off Wolfmother’s latest studio effort “Cosmic Egg” out now.
Last year’s UK Christmas number one single was surprisingly topped by Rage Against The Machine’s 1992 anthem against oppression “Killing in the Name”, as a result of the valiant effort put down by the UK populace to break the X-Factor streak of countless insipid years. Naturally, the band totally appreciated this and have decided to book a gig at London’s Finsbury Park where RATM is set to perform live absolutely free of charge. All that…
Last year’s “The Satanic Satanist” by the Alaskian experimentalists Portugal. The Man delivered some of the best material I’ve had the chance to listen all year round. Now, barely a year after their previous effort, the band is set to release a follow-up titled “American Ghetto” on March 2nd. Captioned above is the official art work for the album which I guess portrays the father-son relationship in an American ghetoo – that or the wacky…
It’s going to be a very densely packed year for Julian Casablancas. Between recording sessions and the afferent touring following the release of The Strokes’ upcoming new album, Casablancas is set to embark on a relatively short stint in the US where he’ll tour in support for his recently released debut solo album, “Phrazes for the Young”. The tour will kick off at the end of March in Atlanta, and after a few stops through…
