Atoms for peace is definitely one of the hottest good bands of the moment. The band, featuring Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Flea from RHCP and producer Nigel Godrich will be played a series of shows throughout Europe. The tour will culminate with three shows played in consecutive days in London. Here are the dates: So far, the only Stateside set any Atoms For Peace affiliates have planned is Yorke and Godrich’s DJ booth appearance at Le…
As I was telling you a few days ago, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back! They promise to bring back charisma and sexuality “back into the fray” with their new album “Mosquito”. You can listen to the sample track “Sacrilege” here. Singer Karen O explained that she misses the gnarl and energy of the early-2000s music scene, when she and the band started: “I miss the bands that were around when we first started out….
Eric Clapton is about to release his 21st solo album, Old Sock, on March 12th and head out on a spring U.S. arena tour – and you may want to pick up your tickets as soon as possible, because Slowhand announced he will only be touring for a year or two: “The bit onstage, that’s easy,” Clapton, 67, tells senior writer Brian Hiatt. “If I could do that around my neighborhood, that would be great….
There’s a new player in the select club of supergroups – with members of Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Screaming Trees already joining in. Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready has joined forces with former Guns N’ Roses member Duff McKagan and former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin for a brand new but still unnamed band. I’ve been waiting to see Duffy play something like this in years, and when Pearl Jam head guitarist and Screaming…
In case you didn’t know (despite the fact that we already told you twice so, no excuses there) – David Bowie broke his 10 year long musical silence, taking everybody by surprise and storming in with his new songs, and now, a full album that he’s streaming on iTunes. He already released two singles – the first one (Where are we now?) shot straight to no. 1, and no one was really surprised, while the…
Talk about a backstab! Yesterday, we were telling you how Scott Weiland was fired from STP, and how he actually found out about it from the press. But there’s more drama here; ironically, just a day before this, he was giving an interview, saying how the band only needs some “fresh blood”, and how “no one’s ever fired anyone from STP”: “STP has not broken up. I haven’t quit. I haven’t been fired. We’re talking…
A while ago, I was telling you about how Slayer decided to kick out drummer and founding member Dave Lombardo. It’s still not clear if the move is permanent or just for the Australian tour, but man, seeing this kind of drama in a band like Slayer is just not cool. Following this rather blurry event, Slayer frontman Tom Araya took some time to talk about the “drummer situation”. However, he did not address Lombardo’s…
Daft Punk have shared a new band photo online today on their Facebook page. The image, which you can see here confirms that they have signed a new record deal with Columbia, the label’s logo featuring in the bottom right hand side of the picture. Reports of Daft Punk having signed to Sony-owned Columbia emerged earlier this year, but the band kept a really low profile and little indication was really given. The French dance…
If ‘Sacrilege’ is anything, then it’s a return to the roots. Listening to it made me feel very close to the band’s early days, when the alternative trio made (if you ask me) their best music. After all, Karen O promised us a more rough-and-ready followup, similar in tone to their debut: “It’s extremely lo-fi,” Karen O told Pitchfork last month of the band’s latest effort, Mosquito. “We had a shitty drum machine, a shitty…
David Bowie has just released a brand new track titled ‘The Stars (Are Out Tonight)’. You can listen to the song and also watch the video here. he video was directed by Floria Sigismondi, who was also behind the videos for Bowie’s ‘Little Wonder’ in 1996 and ‘Dead Man Walking’ in 1997. ‘The Stars (Are Out Tonight)’ is now available to purchase digitally. Bowie shocked fans and critics alike last month, when he broke his…
