Growing up as a teenager in the 1980’s I’d say my progression through rock and roll was fairly standard. Status Quo were my gateway band that drew me into a world of distorted guitars and hard assed rhythms. From there it had to be harder and heavier…Quo gave way to Maiden who gave way to Venom, who gave way to Mercyful Fate then to Metallica, Slayer, Bay Area thrash, death metal…etc. I also embraced the pantheon of forebears…Sabbath always did rule the roost for me from one summer’s day in ’83 when I heard “Live Evil” and still do to [...]
When rumors about the first ever BottleRock Napa festival began to circulate, they were impressive: early flyers listed Dave Matthews Band and Pearl Jam as headliners (neither was ever confirmed). Still, the festival had the attention of the Napa Valley and surrounding music lovers long ago. Once the final lineup had been released and tickets [...] The post BottleRock 2013 Review: Napa's Inaugural Music, Wine, and Food Festival appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Eric Avery. Eric Avery , el bajista cofundador de Jane's Addiction , anunció a través de su página de Facebook que dejaría de formar parte de la nueva alineación de NIN . Esto debido a que el ritmo de gira que tendrá Nine Inch Nails en los próximos meses es demasiado pensado y demandante. Dijo que acaba de regresar a casa después de estar de gira con Garbage y que lo último que quiere es estar fuera otro año y medio, que prefiere dedicarle tiempo a [...]

Real estate developer-turned-lawyer Bob Vogt has done a cool thing. He finally took all that dough he made flipping houses and lawyering, and put it into something sexy: Music. BottleRock is the biggest festival to ever happen in Napa Valley, attracting headliners like Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, and Jane's Addiction. With a projected crowd of 35,000 capacity, this is the kind of cash cow that could save a local economy-in-peril. Impressively, when Vogt made the initial announcement for the festival, tickets sold so quickly he became worried he may run out [...]

Refused en Coachella 2012 / Foto: Toni François Texto: @rulobn Desde sus primeros años , el festival de Coachella se ha caracterizado por tener una capacidad de convencimiento enorme y lograr que muchas bandas de diferentes tamaños, decidan volverse a reunir y presentarse en alguno de los escenarios que forman parte de este famoso evento de música y arte. La credibilidad que ha conseguido el festival y su creador Paul Tollett a lo largo de los años, así como el impacto internacional que ha desarrollado, es sin duda [...]

I've got fifty bucks that says they blow the Red Hot Chili Peppers right off the fucking stage.
With hooks in his flesh, not drugs.
Taking cue from the irrefutable king of ripping and running, we bring you the sweetest, the most bomb dot com deals in digital music this week. And, we answer the three Ws for you too. We've tried to bring you some records/EPs all priced under a hundred bucks (except for that one double-record), so you can save some of that hard-earned bread for the next great gig. What: Sky Rabbit - Sky Rabbit Where: Flipkart - Rs 54 [...]
It may take a while for Side Of The Road – the forthcoming single from Los Angelino space cadet Jonathan Bates – to click with you though once it does, you're in for an electrifying ride. The sometime Mellowdrone vocalist is back masquerading as Big Black Delta , with his as yet untitled sophomore solo recording anticipated later on this year though it's to be preceded by this one, which is itself due April 29th. Tapping into that steady, routinely pulsating pace to course throughout Autobahn , Side Of The Road is as though the irrepressible eccentricity of Everything Everything [...]
Claudio Sanchez is incredibly pressed for time, but he has ten minutes to spare for an interview. Afterwards, he has to rush off for Coheed and Cambria's soundcheck. The band is in the midst of a... Continue reading "Finding the Common Ground Between Coheed & Cambria and Jane's Addiction" >
Una gira que por el momento abarca parte del 2013 y 2014 marca el regreso de Trent Reznor y Nine Inch Nails . Reznor ha anunciado oficialmente hoy el retorno de la banda y en formato reinventado ya que la gracia esta vez es que ha reclutado a un excelente y variado conjunto de músicos. Adrian Belew de King Crimson (quién ha colaborado con NIN esporádicamente, desde los tiempos de The Downward Spiral), Josh Eustis de los extintos Telefon Tel Aviv , Eric Avery de Jane's Addiction e Ilan Rubin más Alessandro Cortini, antiguos miembros [...]

Each week, Poetic Justice will feature a story about the personal connections we have to the music we listen to. This week, an NH7 sub-editor tells you the story of why he's hasn't been able to listen to his favourite song in over a year, and how he's making an attempt (a feeble one, admittedly) at reconnecting with it. It’s hard to call those initial few days a courtship. I think it was more like a situation where I waited patiently (no) for her to call. And for some weird reason, she’d always call when I [...]

Perry Farrell reveló que está trabajando en un musical de Jane´s Addiction ya que en la actualidad el público se está alejando de los conciertos y festivales, y ésta sería la única forma de que las bandas toquen en vivo. El frontman reveló su ambicioso plan en una entrevista con Prefix en la que dijo: "Mi próximo proyecto es trabajar en una obra, un musical. Va a ser una experiencia teatral inmersiva. No va a ser en un teatro, [...]
