This is turning into a soap opera already. After they first announced it in February they changed their minds and delayed it, claiming they want to make something great. OK, that’s good, as long as it rocks. Makes sense, good things come to those who wait. But is it that good? Honestly speaking, I have a huge amount of fate in them. As far as I’m concerned, when you think about what kind of music…
We all know MTV’s nothing like it used to be, gone are the days of 24h non-stop music videos, to be replaced with superficial talk shows and hours upon hours of commercials. Internet, on-demand TV, seems to be the future of visual broadcasting entertainment now and popular Internet ezine Pitchfork Media knows this well. So, according to a recent announcement, Pitchfork.tv, the latest addition to the media giant’s family, will air live on April 7;…
After their already legendary O2 gig, they seemed pretty excited about how they were welcomed and how fans were extatic to see them. They seemed to enjoy themselves also, and there were strong rumours about a world tour. Alas, nothing was really stable, and according to a source close to Robert Plant they will not play again together. The Sunday Mirror newspaper quotes an anonymous source as saying that the band have turned down a…
Yesterday night it seemed like Trent Reznor had his mind set on breaking the interwebs, when, out of the blue, he released Nine Inch Nails’ sixth album, titled “Ghosts I-IV,” under various formats, one of which being free digital download. The new record is actually a four volume compilation, filled with 36 instrumental tracks, recorded in a ten-week period last year, covering a lot of new musical terrain during the almost two hours worth of…
Bon Scott has lived, died, and has been remember as an ultimate rock god; he is the Australian rock and roll icon. His unique voice, energic appearance, great lyrics and overall fantastic charisma made him one of the most loved and cherished people in the world at the time. Unfortnately, he died in February of 1980, after an acute alcohol poisoning. Some 28 years after that, some of Australia’s finest rock bands (Rose Tattoo, The…
Ace Frehley, who used to play guitar for Kiss says that he’s treating his sobriety and legite lifstyle very seriously; not only does he stay clean and sober, but he also requires that from the band members he is currently playing with. He is currently on a solo tour on which (as strange as it may sound) he has forbidded drugs and booze. The recovering alcoholic and drug user could be a great example of…
The Brooklyn based quartet hooked me from the very start with their dazzling combination of harmonies, experimental hooks and various myriad of sounds. Grizzly Bear’s sophomore album, however, swept any past perceptions I had of the band and simply blew me away with its awesomeness. Yesterday the band paid a visit to the KCRW studios, as part of the “Morning Becomes Eclectic” show. Here GB played a few live songs from Yellow House and Friends…
A few years back the Baltimore dream pop duo Beach House, dazzled the lo-fi indie scene with their eponymous debut, gaining a lot of praise and comparisons. Now, this week they’ve released their sophomore record, “Devotion,” still very pretty and pleasant for the ears, but a bit more grown up then the self titled. Although most of the tracks sound a bit the same, the sensation of repetitiveness isn’t here at all, maybe because as…
In what’s a nothing short of weird event, the Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher, just put out for sale his multi-million dollar house in Ibiza, because he was fed up with James Blunt, to the point of despair. One would expect something like a devious past of murders or ghost haunting to cause people sell their homes with great haste, but for Noel, the “You’re Beautiful” singer is reason enough to drive him mad, as his…
Avril Lavigne has a simple description for her upcoming live production: “It rocks,” Lavigne said during a recent teleconference. “It’s very much me, but just the next level. And it’s exciting because the reason why I wanted to bring in more [dancers] and I got a new band and added more players to it is because I wanted more energy on stage.” No comment here. I can take this. This could be a good thing…
