Heading to Austin with Chris on Wednesday night for SXSW music… where 3 billion bands will play 2 trillion shows in 6 million clubs in the span of 5 earth days. Here’s a feeble attempt to bookmark some of the shows I’d like to check out. Everything before 6pm is basically reserved for eating ribs.
Follow me on twitter/facebook/here as I will attempt to document the experience… *without* racking up a massive Rogers bill. This is my challenge.
Damn straight! Kiss is back for their first studio album in over 10 years. No pretentious attempts to make music relevant to 2009 here — Kiss knows what Kiss does best: straight up 70s rock. I mean honestly, who does it better?
(FYI – that’s a rhetorical question, no need to pulverize me with “Kiss sucks and they’re too old” comments)
Although without Ace and Peter it’s not technically Kiss. But I’ll take 50% of Kiss over 0% any day.
Jack White has a new band called Dead Weather. Features Alison Mosshart from the Kills on vox, Jack Lawrence (Greenhornes/Racounters) on bass geetar and Dead Fertita from QOTSA on electric geetar. White plays drums and sings too. Just like Don Henley!
The album drops in June but you can here the first single right here…
Thee Oh Sees, The Sheepdogs, The Rolling Stones, Frankie Miller, Al Casey, Hayden, Kiss, Thin Lizzy, Takeshi Terauchi, Sloan, Black Lips, The Black Keys, The Ventures, The Kinks, Belle and Sebastian and more
