Dopo anni di assenza torna in Italia nell'ambito del tour europeo di "Magic Neighbour" che la vede dividere il palco con Philip Selway, batterista dei Radiohead, che in queste 6 date presenterà il suo primo [...]

Jemina Pearl performs with her band at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, Ill., on Feb. 6, 2010. | Photo Credit: Audrey Leon With one listen to Jemina Pearl 's solo debut album Break It Up , one might wonder if the ex-Be Your Own Pet vocalist had lost her gritty, punk rock edge. Yet, when Pearl climbed onto Beat Kitchen 's stage on Saturday, all doubts were erased. I'll come right out and say it - Jemina Pearl is better live than on [...]

Alright kiddies, it's that time of year again! And it's about time we started doing leg stretches, jogging, and building stamina in preparation for the wild disco radical trans-global gypsy outfit known only as Gogol Bordello rolling through our home towns. In support of their undoubtedly spectacular fifth studio album, Transcontinental Hustle , Eugene Hutz and his gang of Multi-Kontra misfit musicians have finally added a chunk of U.S. dates to their upcoming Casa Gogol Tour! The Casa Gogol Tour holds many surprises for us this spring. Kicking off in New York, as per usual, [...]
Everyone's favorite top-hat toting axeman is set to release his first official solo album in April. Slash has recruited an all-star line-up of vocalists, plus Fergie, to lend a hand on his new tracks. The Cult's Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden (we can say that again), Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmeister, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Ozzy Osbourne and Iggy Pop are among the vocalists

Jemina Pearl, former vocalist of the often controversial Be Your Own Pet , appeared on video blog Dirty Laundry last week. In her interview she takes a break from her tour with the Black Lips to speak about "getting into fights, her old band and hanging with Thurston Moore." You can find the video on Dirty Laundry or Pearl's solo album Break It Up was released on October 6th of last year via Ecstatic Peace. It features guest appearances by Sonic Youth 's [...]

I used to think that Tom Waits was sort of a joke. Then again, back in high school, I also used to think that Dashboard Confessional was the greatest thing since the discovery of popcorn. But after recently seeing his hilarious dialogue with Iggy Pop in "Coffee and Cigarettes" and, even more recently, his amazing performance as the Devil in "The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus", I have come to discover the genius of this all-around artist. Waits' voice alone is eccentric and perplexing. I have heard tall tales of the history of his voice from [...]

This April, Slash will unveil his widely distributed self-titled solo debut . Since we last talked, the legendary guitarist has furthered detailed the studio effort, unveiling both its guest-heavy tracklist and graffiti-ized artwork. As expected, the former includes a slew of high-profile guest contributors, including Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, Chris Cornell, Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale, Iggy Pop, Kid Rock, and Maroon 5's Adam Levine. "The idea was really simple in the beginning," explained Slash. "These are all artists I wanted to work with — that I thought it would be amazing to do something creative [...]

The B-52's sind eine US-amerikanische Rockband aus Athens (Georgia). Seit 2008 schreibt die Band ihren Namen ohne Apostroph, also The B-52s. Geschichte Die Band wurde von den fünf Studenten Kate Pierson , Cindy Wilson, deren Bruder Ricky Wilson , Fred Schneider und Keith Strickland im Oktober 1976 gegründet. Nach einer durchzechten Nacht in einem China-Restaurant in Athens kamen sie auf die Idee, eine Band zu gründen, obwohl sie eigentlich gar keine bis wenig Erfahrung hatten. Sie nannten sich B-52's. Der Name leitet sich von einem Südstaatenspitznamen für die hochtoupierten und [...]

After all those guest guitarist spots on various awards shows over the years, GNR's Slash is in the place to call in some favors, and his upcoming solo album is one star-studded lovefest. Set for an April release, the self-titled album features the likes of Ozzy Ozbourne, Dave Grohl, Chris Cornell, Kid Rock, Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale , and Lemmy of Motorhead . There's even some pop sprinkled in for good measure via Fergie and Maroon 5's Adam Levine . I'd kind of love it if this were [...]

There are two remarkable songs on Emmanuelle Seigner's new album Dingue, that drops in a week. One's a duet with Iggy Pop. In French. Remember Ig singing Les Feuilles Mortes, last year? This is a good. Or as awful, if you like. The other is the duet with her hubby Roman Polanski. Who's in quite a situation at the moment, and I don't mean his upcoming films. Still, he has some powerful allies . With that in mind, a song called Qui êtes-vous? (Who are you?) is, shall we say, very on topic. [...]

Prima con l'annuncio della collaborazione con Dave Grohl , poi la cover di "Paradise City" per [...]

On avait découvert les Psycholove avec leur premier track In Our Tree, leur tube de l'été sorti en décembre dernier qui nous foutait les pieds dans le sable malgrès la neige autour de nous.

For southern rock band The Constellations , its debut record, Southern Gothic , has got to be big. Otherwise, they can enjoy playing dive bars and bar mitzvahs the rest of their career. But with production from Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley) and a cameo by Cee-Lo , they're aiming for the big leagues, and with the likes of the Soul Machine lending a hand, the prospects are even brighter for a band with a big old helping of hype. L'chaim, gang. Cee-Lo's contribution is on the anthem "Love Is A Murder", which promises to [...]

This is John Hiatt performing a solo acoustic set at the Take Root Festival in Oosterpoort, Groningen, Holland back on the 4th October 2008. The material is a mixture of songs from across the years, along with a few from his current album of the time 'Same Old Man'. Some artists have the ability to grab my attention from the first chord and in this case the power, passion, energy and full sound just adds to the occasion. The radio host mentioned that John was flown in especially for this gig, having performed in [...]
When Sweden's Ida Maria burst onto the scene in 2008 with her amazing album, "Fortress Round My Heart", we sensed global domination in her future. Instead, the next year and a-half turned into a tumultuous roller coaster of emotions, with a delayed U.S. release and a breakdown that caused her to cancel a U.S. tour just as she was garnering the publicity she deserved. Named to numerous 'Best of 20092 lists by the always diligent U.S. music press, we're hopeful that Ida can recapture her momentum and charm us again in 2010. After tracking her for almost [...]
