Duff McKagan set to release companion EP for his book release, How To Be A Man

April 29, 2015

Duff McKagan is gearing up for the much anticipated release of his new book, How To Be A Man (and other illusions) on May 12th through Da Capo Press. The book is the follow-up to McKagan’s critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling memoir, IT’S SO EASY (and other lies). In the new book, “McKagan shares the wisdom he gained on the path to superstardom—from his time with Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver to getting sober after a life of hard living to achieving his personal American Dream of marrying a supermodel, raising a family and experiencing what it’s like to be winked at by Prince.” You can pre-order the book by heading over to Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Man-other-illusions/. In addition to the much anticipated book release, McKagan is set to release a three song companion EP which features Izzy Stradlin, Alice In Chains vocalist/guitarist Jerry Cantrell, Stone Sour drummer Roy Mayorga and drummer Taz Bentley. Pre-order for the EP will be available on May 5th. Here is a sneak peek via Duff’s Twitter: #NewMusic pre-order 5-5-2015 pic.twitter.com/H36EO5Hxe1 — [Read More]

Pink Slips gives punk rock a welcoming synthpop facelift

October 13, 2014

Today our music scene contains a never ending list of genres or subgenres but what we really are missing is a rekindling of our love for punk rock and synth. Imagine a young band that brings to life your love of 90’s synth pop music and wraps it deliciously in young spirited punk rock. No need to dream about it, because Pink Slips is the answer to your wishes. The LA based punk rock band, Pink Slips is fronted by 17 year old Grace McKagan. Yes, the name might sound familiar, she is the daughter of Duff McKagan (GUNS N’ ROSES/VELVET REVOLVER/WALKING PAPERS). In addition to Grace, the band features Keenan Bevens and Trent Peltz and they have recently released their infectiously catchy 6 song EP, Say L’or Venus which is available on iTunes here. Grace’s vocals remind me of a blend of Debbie Harry, Kim Wilde and modern day Taylor Momsen. She brings out such a fun flirty side to her music. It is charismatic, edgy and invigorating. The EP starts right off with my favorite [Read More]
