After releasing their long-anticipated sophomore effort, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, Maroon 5 will play six intimate dates….meaning, in smaller venues. Fan club members will have first crack at buying tickets, and the remainder will go on sale tomorrow. Here are the dates:

May 30th – Axis – Boston, Massachusetts
June 1st – Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, California
June 2nd – Troubadour – Los Angeles, California
June 7th – Fine Line – Minneapolis, Minnesota
June 9th – Studio A – Miami, Florida
June 11th – Bowery Ballroom – New York, New York (This show is 16 and over)

Since Scottish rockers The View have had numerous immigration problems, and have had to cancel their last two trips to the States, they are playing at one of the UK’s biggest festivals and inviting their American fans to come see them. The show will be part of the T In The Park festival July 6-8 along with Snow Patrol, The Arcade Fire and The Killers. Columbia Records is giving one lucky fan the trip of a lifetime to see The View at the fest.

“Good Morning America” has announced its summer concert series, beginning May 18 with country powerhouse band Rascal Flatts. Other acts will be Fergie, Daughtry, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus, Norah Jones and John Mayer. Shows will be at New York’s Bryant Park and will air live on the TV show.

Speaking of Norah Jones, she has added a second leg to her upcoming tour after performing at the 60th Cannes Film Festival. Here are Continue reading »

While there is still no official word on when Guns N’ Roses will release their Chinese Democracy album, there is word that some of the band’s tour dates overseas have been postponed. Bassist Tommy Stinson has a wrist injury that has forced the band to pull out of shows in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan that were to begin tonight.

The original members of the legendary Spinal Tap are reuniting for the Live Earth show at London’s Wembley Arena on July 7. The band even has a new single called “Warmer Than Hell,” to fit the global warming theme of the event.

With an appearance on “Dancing With The Stars” scheduled for May 1 and other numerous national TV gigs in the coming weeks, Meat Loaf is already in promotion mode for his upcoming “Three Bats” tour that kicks off July 18 in New York City’s MSG Theatre. Here are Continue reading »

Fall Out Boy’s Honda Civic Tour has been delayed for personal reasons, according to the band. Instead of starting next week in Charlotte, the tour will begin May 11 in Denver. Other bands on the tour are +44, The Academy Is, Paul Wall, and Cobra Starship. The Sacramento show scheduled for May 1 was the one date that was completely cancelled and ticket holders will be refunded.

The June 23 Police show at Dodger Stadium will feature a major support act—Foo Fighters. Apparently Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins pulled a stunt at the Police’s press conference back in February, posing as a fake reporter, and he has since become friends with the band.

The Tooth & Nail Tour reads something like a Warped Tour-lite. Featured bands are MXPX, Hawk Nelson, The Classic Crime, Sullivan, and The Fold, and the tour launches May 1 in Seattle and runs through June 11 in Salt Lake City. Tour dates Continue reading »

American Idol Loses Its Legs

April 12, 2007 /

I’m not referring to the show losing viewers or voters, but last night “American Idol” lost the sexy legs of Haley Scarnato. Before we get to the results, I’m going to bore you with an hour of crap the way Fox did….

First, there was a horrid Latin group performance of an Enrique Iglesias song that I won’t even attempt to spell. Sanjaya even screwed up the words which was pretty awesome.

Then, Ryan Seacrest interviewed a bunch of the shows’ fans outside a farmer’s market. Wow, they are really stretching, aren’t they?

Then there was a performance from Akon, who must have heard everyone wondering aloud why he was on the same stage as Gwen Stefani a few weeks ago. Turns out dude CAN sing. He wasn’t too bad, and it was fun to watch his DJ guy with the Sanjaya hair style.

Then they showed footage of Simon Cowell in Africa again, and in one of the funniest moments the show has ever seen, some African kid drew a picture of Simon with man boobs. Now, THAT is good television.

Then they did some spoof with Tony Bennett where the judges treated the old man like a real contestant. That was pretty dumb and self-indulgent for the AI producers.

Finally, each contestant was asked to stand as Ryan announced who was in the bottom 3. Phil Stacey was the first into the lower tier, then Lakisha, Jordin and Melinda were all declared safe. Haley was also sent to the bottom 3, leaving Blake, Sanjaya and Chris. Blake and Sanjaya were safe, leaving Chris to enter the bottom 3 and America to wonder just how long it has to endure Sanjaya. Top 4? Top 3? Top 2? Gasp.

Then Jennifer Lopez sang some song in Spanish that I have never heard, but she looked and sounded awesome as usual. But before that, Chris Richardson was sent back to the pack, leaving Phil and Haley. No surprises so far, right?

Finally, it came down to the verdict, and it was Phil that was safe. Dude seemed as surprised as anyone in the theater. So it was Haley and her legs, which were hidden tonight but covered in painted-on pants. But it was her time to go home, and America definitely got it right. Next week it will likely be Phil, and then it’s going to get real interesting.

Till next week…..
