Since the dissolution of the band in the early 1970s, lawsuits have flown from both sides of the river. One of the more recent incidents came in 1997, when bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford decided to tour under the name Creedence Clearwater Revisited . Frontman John [...]

As a kid, the family usually made at least one trek annually to visit relatives in Western Pennsylvania. To mitigate the need to navigate traffic, we would often set off on these trips in the wee hours of the night, getting the first couple hours in before the sunrise. It was thrilling to be up in the middle of the night, at an hour whose existence was wholly unknown to me at the time. As my younger brother and our mother would be asleep in the backseat, I was accorded shotgun, road atlas [...]

We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… Last year, former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters celebrated the 30th anniversary of The Wall by mounting an extensive world tour, that was touted for its updated multi-media presentation of the iconic album. Last week, Waters revealed to Rolling Stone , whose latest issue features a cover story on the legendary psychedelic rock band, that he would be bringing the tour back to the United States next [...]

As a New Englander, we get a bit jaded around here. I find it really hard to take overblown (get it?) prognostications of foul weather very seriously. I distinctly remember one time it cost me dearly though. I was working in Framingham, MA and there was a big snowstorm in the offing. Why I went to the office that day I'll never know, but I think I was scheduled to have lunch with a friend of mine if memory serves. There was some kind of announcement at work and the office was closed by 11 AM. Everybody was scampering [...]
The fourth annual Outside Lands Festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco marked the year that it truly has become a festival destination. With many concert goers, who traveled from outside the Bay Area, it was very evident that the music festival that kicked off with a bang in 2007 with Radiohead, has become more than "just another local music festival." B-Sides' home-base of San Francisco was on-site to cover the event with many highlights: FRIDAY PHANTOGRAM B-Sides caught the electro-trip hop duo [...]
August is here, and for California music festival-goers that means Outside Lands is finally just around the corner. San Francisco's premiere music festival brings to the table an experience that your average festival cannot. Not only does it bring forth a variety of artists difficult to find [...]

The 600-person venue, which was once home to a train depot, will host about 200 shows a year and will open with a show from Clap Your [...]

Moody River was Pat Boone's final number one hit.

It's been quite the struggle to post lately for me. I copied my digital music library from my computer to an external hard drive and the process took nearly a week! My computer is ancient so that might have something to do with it, but suffice to say there was a lot of music tripping through these wires this past week. It's just short of a terabyte now and I'm not really close to having everything from my library digitized. I'm looking forward to having several copies in safe places and buying a new machine that can handle all this [...]
