Road Warriors 36

While they are no doubt excited about opening for Bon Jovi next week, My Chemical Romance is playing an intimate show the night before at Maxwell’s in Hoboken. Tickets are $100 each for the small venue show, but all proceeds are going to charity according to the band’s website.

After pulling the plug on some shows with Jesus and Mary Chain, Soulsavers have just announced a slate of headlining US dates beginning in late November. The band’s It’s Not How Far You Fall, It’s The Way You Land album was just released this past Tuesday. Tour dates are:

11/27 New York, NY – Gramercy Theater
11/28 Philadelphia, PA – North Star Bar
11/29 Washington, DC – Black Cat
12/1 San Francisco, CA – The Independent
12/2 Los Angeles, CA – Troubadour

Florida rockers Yellowcard released their third album, Paper Walls, in July and continue to tour in support of it. They are currently out on the road with Blue October. Here are the remaining shows on the tour Continue reading »

Wake up! Don’t you want to hear Serj Tankian’s album? System of a Down is on hiatus!

October 16, 2007 /

If you say that right, it totally flows with the verses to “Chop Suey,” I swear.

Serj Tankian has a new solo album, Elect the Dead, coming out next week. Up to this point, Serj’s label, Warner Bros., was apprarently terrified of anyone hearing the album. We know this because the copy of the album that they sent us last month didn’t have his name on it. I understand fear of piracy, but this move caused the CD to collect dust in a bin on our publicist’s desk for weeks, since no one knew what it really was. Which is worse: some people hearing it early, or no one being aware of its existence? The answer is always, always the latter.

Either way, it appears that they have overcome their fear of people listening before they can buy, because the entire album is now available on The Leak. Enjoy.

Road Warriors 35

October 12, 2007 /

MtvU, MTV’s college network, has given students an up close look at artists such as Beck, Death Cab for Cutie, Gym Class Heroes, TV on the Radio, Saul Williams and more. Now, on the upcoming mtvU Woodie Awards, performers include Amy Winehouse, The Academy Is…and Spank Rock. The event takes place on November 8 at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City, and premiers simultaneously on mtvU and mtvU.com on November 15.

Country mega star Carrie Underwood is set to release her new album, Carnival Ride, on October 23 and will perform on Good Morning America that day. Her previous album, Some Hearts, is the number one selling country album this year so far as well.

With Sting developing a throat infection, probably from yelling at his band mates, The Police were forced to cancel two shows last week in Belgium and Germany. After resuming tomorrow in Dusseldorf, the band will hit the UK and then head to Latin America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

Blondie singer Deborah Harry will be touring in support of her new album, Necessary Evil, beginning November 8 in New York City. Here are the confirmed Continue reading »

DMed’s Video of the Week: Kenna, “Say Goodbye to Love”

October 12, 2007 /

Universal are big stinky monkeys for disabling the embed on this one, so I’ll just have to link to it like a sucker.

Kenna – Say Goodbye to Love

Fewer artists have been kicked around like Kenna has. It’s taken him seven years to release two albums. His first album, New Sacred Cow, hopped labels three times before it was finally released, and once it hit the public…that label completely buried it. Bastards. (That would be Sony, if you were curious) This is made all the more astounding when you take into consideration that Kenna went to high school with the freaking Neptunes, who produced both of his albums. How can you not sell that? Don’t know, but Sony found a way.

Now free from Sony and starting a new life on Interscope, Kenna’s new single doesn’t have a video as memorable as “Freetime,” but at this point, I’m just happy that he’s making music at all.

Ruby Tuesday: The Boomtown Rats, “Me and Howard Hughes”

October 9, 2007 /

Bob Geldof’s Boomtown Rats were originally pegged as Springsteen ripoff artists – and if you’ve ever heard “Rat Trap” or “Joey’s on the Street Again,” you know exactly where that rumor got started – but their US debut, A Tonic for the Troops, was much more than a series of “Rosalita” rewrites. And while the band came to prominence during the punk scene, let’s face it: the Rats were no more a punk band than the Clash were. They could rock, sure (“She’s So Modern,” “Blind Date,” “Mary of the 4th Form”), but at heart they were a pop band. A very strange, wonderful pop band.

Thus, “Me and Howard Hughes,” a harmony-drenched song about a guy who fancies himself a self-loathing eccentric. Lock yourself up in your room and enjoy this criminally overlooked band.
