Kanye ‘Gay Fish’ West, Jared ‘Jesus’ Leto and Brandon ‘Swarovski’ Flowers – the hippest bunch ’round this side of the Internet. As if news of Creed and Limp Bizkit getting back together wasn’t enough for any sane man to bear, here’s another kick in the nuts – Kanye West and Jared Leto’s emo outfit 30 Seconds to Mars are set to work together on a new song, that will most probably get featured on the…

You know how some people can just walk into a room, and instantly take control of it? All eyes will shift to them, all attention will be focused squarely on them, the entire congregation will hang on their every word. Think Penny Lane from Cameron Crowe’s wonderful Almost Famous – when she walks into Stillwater’s hotel room, starts reciting the pre-flight safety spiel, and commands the rapt attention of every last person in earshot. The…
I think at one point or another, we’ve all wondered what would happen if you took two parts Van Halen, mixed in one part Red Hot Chili Peppers, spiced it up with a little Joe Satriani, and then settled on the most confusingly wrongheaded band name ever (and if you haven’t, what’s wrong with you, guy?!?!) So it’s with a mixture of joy and insomnia-induced hysteria that I present to you this band: Chickenfoot. Joe…
I don’t know about you, but Jimi Hendrix always seemed like a Budweiser man. Hmm… or maybe Heineken? On second thought, judging from his psychedelic shows/times, beer seems like the last thing on his mind. How many Hendrix fans would try the above blend, though? And what’s better then chilling on the couch, sipping on a Purple Haze brewski then doing it while watching Jimi Hendrix reality TV? Seems like back in February of 1969,…
Oh, boy. These new PETA awareness campaigns are getting more and more subtle these days. Wait, this is just a music vidoe. Okay! Getting past their hip name, Brooklyners Justice of The Unicorns new video for the single “The Dragon’s Claw” is both an admirable effort and a welcomed companion for this awesome soundtrack. The sinopsis sounds something like this. A wondering err… dude, in an animal suite of some sort, stumbles across an evil…
80’s old school synth pop, mixed in with contemporary beats and CSS-like anthem chants in the chorus – that’s how Clubfeet’s latest single Teenage Suicide, in a nutshell, sounds like. Clubfeet is an Aussie electro outfit that once again enforces the already solid dance music scene in the land down under. Yes, quality dance music is hard to come by these days. Check out their myspace for more song streams, as well as their iTunes…
Last week I posted a bit about Natasha’s recent KoL cover of “Use Somebody,” seems, however, she’s here to stay on the blog as we’ve got yet another Bat for Lashes-centered post. Natasha just recently paid a visit to Jools Holland’s show, where she played a really beautiful live performance of Daniel, off her recent sophomore LP, “Two Suns”. Energetic and vibrant. Good going, Nat! [1st seen on Culture Bully]
Anthony and his band have been performing on TV all over for the past few months. Hard to name a few shows that didn’t have them as guests, and here we are publishing a story on them performing the exquisite “One Dove” live on Dutch national television, on Paul de Leeuw’s show. Who’s a total nutcase, by the way! Check out the performance bellow and skip or not (if you’re dutch isn’t quite as rusty…
Photo by Kai-Otto Melau A rare and recent media engagement from Wolfmother frontman Andrew Stockdale has brought news of a second album. With their eyes set on a September release, the recently reformed Australian outfit has reportedly been laying down tracks in a L.A. studio, with three new members to replace Chris Moss and Myles Heskett. And a bit of respect must be given to the singer. For so long the lone wolf , he…
