Widespread Panic: 25th Anniversary Plans

TOUR DATES AND DOCUMENTARY PLANNED


Widespread Panic

In an interview with Gary Graff of Billboard, Widespread Panic‘s Dave
Schools
laid out the group’s plans for 2011 in celebration of their 25th anniversary.

The band does not plan on releasing new material in the new year, but Schools says he is sure that they will
tour in support of Dirty Side Down, which came out in the Spring of 2010. Billboard also reveals that a
documentary about the band is in the works, with filming having already begun over
Halloween weekend in New Orleans. The documentary is set to feature both current and archival footage.

Says Schools, “twenty-five years is kind of a milestone to keep a band together through all the things we’ve been
through. We’ve never had a chance to sit back and go, ‘God, there’s a lot of gigs under the belt.’ So it’ll be a good
time to go, ‘OK guys, we’ve made it a lot farther than anyone could have imagined’…and take a good, hard look at
how we can take this further, how we can continue to evolve as a group of people, not only musically but spiritually
and hopefully in a positive way.”

AJK shuts to mark October 8 earthquake anniversary


MUZAFFARABAD (Online) – To pay homage to the martyrs of devastating earthquake that struck parts of Pakistan and AJK on October 8, 2005, a shutter down strike was observed here in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Friday. Various organisations have threatened to hold a long march towards Islamabad against the government’s failure to complete the rehabilitation phase despite the passage of five years of the devastating earthquake that killed over 75,000 and left 3.5 million homeless. To mark the tragic day, AJK Law Minister Abdul Rashid Abbasi and other top officials attended a prayer ceremony and observed a minute silence, according to media reports.
Traders, students and civil society members held a demonstration across the city to protest against the governmentÂ’s lethargic attitude towards the ongoing rehabilitation work.
They said that hundreds of schools had yet to be repaired by the government.
“Thousands of homeless people are forced to sleep out in the open due to slow rehabilitation activities,” a protester said.
