A few days ago we announced in an article that everything seems to announce the new Metallica album for February. Now sources from within the band’s record label announced that album is now expected to hit the stores in September. Even more than that, the band is still in the studio! Fans can at least think about the fact that the last time Metallica spent so much time on an album was in 1991 and…
That’s it guys, after months and months of lineup speculations, the news are in, for this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, that takes place between April 25-27, in the hot, but always cool Indio, California. No big surprises here, with no spectacular bands announcing a comeback or something (we’re obviously thinking about My Bloody Valentine), but there’s still time for that. The lineup is still very solid with such headliners like Roger Waters…
Since they first popped out on the mainstream radar, with the critical acclaimed release Z, the Louisville quintet hasn’t quite fancied itself in making public appearances, apart from the usual gigs. If you add that to almost 3 years of non existing new material, you could MMJ is kinda holding back on us, details, however, concerning their much anticipated upcoming, still untitled album, have emerged. For now what we know is that the recordings are…
After becoming a four piece band once more, after Devin Hoff joined on bass in May, [tag]Xiu Xiu[/tag] are set to show the world, well just North America really, what the new lineup is capable of. With that in mind the band has mapped a string of shows in the US and Canada, that can be viewed right after the jump. The tour should prove to be a good chance to see how Xiu Xiu’s…
After releasing a set of European tour dates, now [tag]Radiohead[/tag] have sorta/kinda announced some North American locations, but no venues, no dates, just 22 mapped US and Canadian cities. At least you know where to expect them. Meanwhile In Rainbows sits well on the #1 of the Billboard 200, with 122,00 units sold in it’s second week, after a more weak first week (timing didn’t help). Radiohead is set to perform the North American tour,…
This spring sees everyone’s favorite troubadour, [tag]Jose Gonzalez[/tag], embark on a eco-friendly tour, in partnership with Reverb, a non-profit organization designed to educate and engage music fans and promote environmental sustainability. They work closely with artists to create earth-friendly events and tours. Part of Gonzalez’s ‘greening’ is his rider will include biodegradable catering products, and a reduction of plastic water bottles will be facilitated by providing his crew with re-usable water bottles to carry throughout…
Start spreading the word; Liza Minnelli still has a word to say in music today. Almost three weeks after collapsing during a show in Sweden, the 61-year-old entertainer was doing fine and preparing for her next gig, Minnelli’s lawyer, Allen Arrow, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Now to do this you either have to love music too much or to be very crazy; or both. While most of her age tell stories to their…
The Swedish pop power-house [tag]Robyn[/tag], has finally managed to land some tour dates, although a few, on US soil as well. She’ll first play at Highline Ballroom in NYC on February 5, after which she’ll head over to the west cost, for a two gig trek in California. Tickets went on sale online since yesterday and can be bought at TicketMaster. Dates and venues right after the jump; special thanks to BrooklinVegan for the heads…
The massive [tag]Led Zeppelin[/tag] reunion gig that took place at the O2 Arena, this Monday, left fans begging for more, sadly this was a one time only. Most probably their last, but Led fans that were disappointed by the lack of a tour, can get the next best thing: Robert Plant. That’s right, this summer will see Rob tour Europe, in support of his highly praised latest album “Raising Sands”, in which he duets with…
A while back [tag]Radiohead[/tag] announced, on their blog, that further copies of In Rainbows box set will not be produced (guess they’ll get pretty valuable in the future) and that the free download, of the digital In Rainbows, will stop as well, starting from 10 December 2008. Despite the fact they’ve put a bit of a cork on it, the band has decided to gracious with even more tour dates, two to be precise, as…
