Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon on tour…together?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

"So let me get this straight. You want to put Alice in Chains, Deftones and Mastodon on the same tour?! You do know people's heads will explode if this happens, right?"
I'm guessing that's what was said by the booking agent of this tour before agreeing to it. Because when this goes off, you're going to have a shitload of people training from now for the mosh-pits that will take place at these shows.
Alice In Chains are headlining a tour this fall that… Read More

The former Beatle's music post-Fab Four (Wings, solo albums) was controlled by EMI Music until recently when the deal between Macca and the major label expired (via TwentyFourBit). So McCartney took his music and went somewhere else with it.
His music will now be re-issued through Concord… Read More

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Did you see Muse the last time they were here? They were so amazing live, weren't they? Between the lights and the pillars and Matt Bellamy shredding and...oh wait. You didn't see them? Sucks to be you!
But not to worry because the three-headed musical monster that is Muse are making their way back to North American shores later this fall (via CoS).
