A while backed we listed the dates for Plants And Animals’ brief tour, in support of their debut full length album, Parc Avenue. Now, the fun continues as the Canadian indie rockers have added a string of new tour dates, including West Coast venues. This the first time the band will play on the West Coast. Tour dates after the jump.
Constantines are back in full force, after subsequently releasing a new record a few weeks ago in their northern homelands, in the form of Kensington Heights. “Hard Feelings” is the record’s first single, a hard stumped rocker, in all the power of the word. On the actual video is really cool, being a mixture of Sin City-like noir cinematography and Kaiser Chief’s cityscape Ruby. Kensigton Heights is out now in Canada and 4/29 in the…
“All rise, for The Roots!” was how Stephen Colbert introduced one of my long time favorites, Philly natives The Roots, as they closed last night’s show of “The Colbert Report”. The band performed an irreverent take on “The Star-Spangled Banner”, after which they simply trashed their instruments, as a sign of rebellion. Rebellion against … I’m not sure what, maybe the current state of the union, maybe world hunger or maybe just to rock out….
I already bought my ticket for the Iron Maiden tour! Hope you have yours, cause there’s pretty much sold out; except for ebay perhaps, but that’s always taking a chance. Anyway, what could be better than going to an extraordinary event such as an Iron Maiden gig? Going to an Iron Maiden gig and seeing Anthrax too! That’s right, the metal legends have announced a short spring tour, kicking off with a warmup club show…
The soap opera continues ladies and gents! After the already infamous O2 gig and their meeting in January it seemed that everything was going towards a tour in September. But then, Robert Plant stepped in and spoke his mind: Led Zep will not tour. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones are featured in the new issue of Uncut reflecting on Led Zeppelin’s long history and what lies ahead for them as a band….
For those of you a bit unfamiliarized with the band, here’s a quick rock history lesson. Mudcrutch was mid ’70s rock band from Florida, that was packed with potential and talent, but unfortunately never made it big. The band apparently broke up prematurely, as they didn’t even record a proper studio album debut, but while Mudcrutch didn’t manage to achieve success, it did however spawn one of the most popular acts ever seen in the…
Judas Priest’s much-anticipated new album, “Nostradamus” will be released in Germany on June 13 via Sony/BMG, on June 15 in the rest of Europe and June 17 in North America. It promises to be really something; aside from the music it will be delivered in a ewel case, as a deluxe digibook and as a special box set containing the new album on three LPs, a 48-page book and a poster. But fans are concerned…
Winwood seems off and running lately, with an opening slot on the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tour this summer to boot. But today we’ve got a treat for all you old school blues fans, as the following video features two legends, former Blind Faith colleagues singer-songwriter Steve Winwood and guitar master Eric Clapton. “Dirty City” is the first single off of Steve Winwood’s latest solo record, in which he partners with his old brother…
Yes, you’ve read it right folks, Prince has been added to this year’s Coachella lineup, as a Saturday (4/26) headline, joining other acts like Breeders, Portishead, MMJ, Kraftwerk, or Roger Waters. When he’s not suing fans, his royal majesty, Prince, actually makes some music. To be honest I pretty much despise Prince for all that he represents, but while it’s clear I’m not anywhere near being a fan, I have to admit he’s a great…
I just had to post this! I can barely type from all the laughing. Apparently the above photo is the actual cover art for Lil Wayne’s latest upcoming album Carter III. The new record from the New Orleans rapper will land on May 13th via Universal. Who here also loled ?
