U2 reschedule North American tour dates

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

So if you were one of the hundreds of thousands of people that bought a ticket to see U2 play in the U.S. or Canada this summer and got bummed out that they postponed the dates, hopefully you hung onto that ticket.
A video was posted at the band's official website featuring Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton where they confirmed the rescheduling of all the North American dates. Bono seemed to be in fine form, his back… Read More

Pearl Jam NOT going on hiatus

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

I know you've heard the rumors and freaked out (believe you me, I was freaked too) but everyone can calm down. Pearl Jam is not going on hiatus which can be a scary word when it comes to bands.
Last night in Portugal, PJ played a show and at one point Eddie Vedder decided to address the crowd in Portuguese. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and began reading some phrases. One of those phrases, when translated in English, was that the show they… Read More

Watch: Korn perform in a crop circle

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Korn have played many, many shows in their long career but I do believe this is the first time that they've rocked out in a crop circle.

David Gilmour and Roger Waters reunite for benefit concert

Monday, July 12th, 2010
You would think that after Pink Floyd's reunion a few years ago, we were all looking at a chance to see the band put aside their differences and start playing together again. Well...that didn't happen unfortunately. But just over the weekend, the band's leaders/mortal enemies(?) Roger Waters and David Gilmour came together to play at a charity concert.

Waters and Gilmour were performing for HOPING (Hope and Optimism for Palestinians in the Next Generation)… Read More

Listen: Toadies – “City of Hate”

Monday, July 12th, 2010

If you didn't listen to the Toadies in the 90's then there was something wrong with your brainskull.
Which is why I'm real excited that we're getting a "new" album from the boys on August 10th called Feeler. I say "new" in quotes because the band actually recorded the record in 1997 but their label at the time, Interscope, never approved it. The album never saw the light of day...until now!
Toadies decided to re-record all 14 of the tracks… Read More

Well later this fall you'll get the chance to do your own skank party to the Bosstones music live.
