NEW POLITICS announce their headlining tour “Harlem, USA Tour”

October 29, 2013

Just announced….. Our friends in one of our favorite bands, New Politics which we had the the opportunity to interview on the Uproar tour, have just announced their headlining tour for USA. These guys have been so busy and just keep going. From the first time I saw them in 2010 I called them the Energizer Bunny Meets Nirvana and here they are… like the energizer bunny… they keep going and going and going! They have had quite a year touring on the Uproar Festival, then they set out on Tour in support of Pink and then 30 Seconds to Mars. They are just on fire and this is truly a great year for them. But be prepared, they are starting 2014 off with their own headlining tour across the U.S.A. with special guests Magic Man and Sleeper Agent.

October 28, 2013

We have some news to report relating to one of our recent Tuesdays Travels pick, Louna. Also, I must tell you I carry my Louna CD from car to car wherever I go. It is one of my favorite CDs and we have all been rocking out to it since we saw them earlier this month in San Francisco as they played with Heaven’s Basement and The Pretty Reckless. Louna is such an amazing band of talented musicians who not only produce excellent rock n roll and recently were going to be part of the MTV Documentary Series, “Rebel Music”. They were going to have a worldwide platform to share their music and what they stand for. One thing is for sure, this band is so deserving of the feature and they are incredibly talented and deserve to be heard but unfortunately, that will not be so. It was reported today that Louna’s Inclusion in Forthcoming MTV Documentary Series “Rebel Music” Cancelled by Viacom Due to International Pressure from Russia.

Buckcherry makes announcement about Jimmy Ashhurst’s departure

October 16, 2013

We just recently learned of Jimmy Ashhurst’s departure from Buckcherry through a post on Buckcherry’s website today: Oct.16.2013 An Important Message From The Band Regarding Jimmy Recently many of you have been contacting us wondering what exactly is going on with our current line up, our bassist, and generally wondering why we haven’t addressed this directly. For the sake of setting the record straight and letting our fans know what’s up, here it is: With heavy hearts and with great difficulty we have decided to part ways with our long time bandmate Jimmy Ashhurst. This was not an easy decision, nor was it a rash decision made in haste. It’s not our desire to air dirty laundry or inner band circumstances that brought about this result. Every band has its issues, and while we have gone to great lengths to minimize them and work through them, this band has had its own issues like any other. We in no way wish to put Jimmy in an unfavorable light. Simply put, we felt it was in [Read More]
