Kyuss Reunites Without Josh Homme

THREE QUARTERS OF KYUSS REUNITE


Kyuss

Legendary stoner rock band Kyuss is reuniting without original guitarist and Queens of the Stone Age
main man Josh Homme. The lineup includes vocalist John Garcia, bassist Nick Oliveri,
and drummer Brant Bjork. Guitarist Bruno Fevery will be stepping in to replace Homme, and the
band is calling
themselves Kyuss
Lives
.

In an interview with Blabbermouth, Homme discussed the
possibility of a Kyuss reunion, saying “The offers come in all the
time. They’re getting more and more expensive, and more and more elaborate. The money is crazy, but I’ve never
been tempted – I don’t really care about the money, I never have. That’s not what Kyuss was about, so to punctuate
the end of our sentence with that would be blasphemy…Kyuss has such a great history that it would be a total error.
I like that nobody saw
Kyuss, and that it was largely misunderstood. That sounds like a legend forming to me. I’m too proud of it to rub
my dick on it.”

All announced tour dates are below.

Work pressures likely to discourage smoking

Smoking may be a coping strategy to deal with work stress, but work pressures can actually lower a smoker’s nicotine dependence, says a new study.
A German team, led by Anna Schmidt from the University of Cologne, set out to examine the links between occupational stress factors and nicotine dependence, and examined 197 employed smokers from [...]

March 31, 1901: Wuppertal Monorail Opens

1901: A suspended monorail opens in Germany, whisking passengers on an 8.3-mile loop some 40 feet over the Wupper River. Though not the world’s first single-track hanging rail system, it’s the world’s oldest monorail still in operation and Europe’s only suspended railway.
At the dawn of the era of train travel, the hilly Wupper Valley was [...]

Alberta Cross: Tour Dates

Alberta Cross Sells Out Shows Across The U.S., Tour Confirmed With Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Alberta Cross

Alberta Cross just wrapped up their first ever nationwide headlining tour where they performed to sold out crowds in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, San Francisco and more. This spring, Alberta Cross will tour with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

Their latest album, Broken Side of Time arrives on the heels of their EP The Thief & the Heartbreaker, which earned the band U.K. touring slots with Oasis, The Shins and Bat For Lashes.

Founded by guitarist/vocalist Petter Ericson Stakee and bassist Terry Wolfers, Alberta Cross took shape when the two began jamming together in London’s east end. Stakee, from London by way of Sweden, and Wolfers, a Brit himself, moved to New York City in 2008 in pursuit of renewed creative energy and new challenges. Broken Side of Time is born of the struggles and setbacks the band faced along the way. The album serves as Alberta Cross’ official introduction to the U.S.

As Stakee explains, “It’s kind of a desperation album, a darker album; it’s definitely angrier. We’ve been in a crazy place during the whole album and you can hear that.”

Led by Stakee and Wolfers, Alberta Cross is rounded out by guitarist Sam Kearney, drummer Austin Beede and keyboardist Alec Higgins. Broken Side of Time was recorded in Austin, TX and produced by Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Dead Confederate, Heartless Bastards). John O’Mahony (Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Kasabian) mixed the album at Electric Lady in New York City.

Phosphorescent: Tour w/ David Gray

PHOSPHORESCENT ON TOUR WITH DAVID GRAY THIS SPRING

Phosphorescent

Last fall, Phosphorescent bassist Jeff Bailey was watching a primetime news show when British songwriter David Gray appeared for an interview. The interviewer inquires as to what Gray is listening to on his iPod and he responds, “Frank Sinatra, and an album called Pride by Phosphorescent.”

Admittedly skeptical, the band did a quick internet search and found Gray singing the praises of Phosphorescent to Entertainment Weekly and a Spin review of a David Gray performance, which mentions that Gray opened the show by “emerging from the darkness to the narcotic strains of Phosphorescent’s ‘Cocaine Lights’.”

A month or so passes when an email shows up in the inbox of Phosphorescent’s Matthew Houck from Gray himself, with enthusiastic support for the music and an open ended invitation to open any of Gray’s upcoming tour dates. Phosphorescent accepted the invite and will soon be hitting the road with Gray throughout the United States and Europe.

Phosphorescent is also nearly complete with their upcoming album; details will be announced very soon.

Check out a video of the band performing “A Picture Of Our Torn Up Praise” at the American Songwriter Magazine offices here.

Broken Social Scene: New Album

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM MAY 4

Broken Social Scene

Broken Social Scene will be releasing their new, as-yet-untitled album May 4 on Arts & Crafts.

Co-produced by the band and Tortoise‘s John McEntire at Soma Studios in Chicago, with additional recording at Giant Studio and The Schvitz Studio in Toronto, the new album is the follow up to their acclaimed self-titled record, released in 2005.

The new record was written and arranged by the Canadian collective’s current lineup, which includes Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin, Andrew Whiteman, Sam Goldberg and Lisa Lobsinger.

The album also features guest turns by a host of Social Scene alumni: Leslie Feist, Amy Millan and Evan Cranley of Stars, Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, Jason Collett, Ohad Benchetrit of Do Make Say Think and Years, John Crossingham, Marty Kinack, Leon Kingstone and Julie Penner.

With their new album, the first following the acclaimed Broken Social Scene Presents… series, the band decided it was time to try something new. As a core six-piece who had spent most of 2007 and 2008 on the road, Drew, Canning, Spearin, Whiteman, Goldberg and Peroff spent early 2009 working on new material in Toronto. The pairing down of the band’s massive personnel list for the first time proved extremely fruitful; they created spacious songs written as a band by a band, resulting in more cohesive, melody-driven compositions than previous BSS outputs.

They then decamped to Chicago, recording outside of Toronto for the first time, which allowed them to fully immerse themselves in the recording process. In producer McEntire – a musical hero for many of the band’s members – they found a fresh perspective on their own sound, which continued to fuel the creative process, resulting in nearly 40 songs written in and out of the studio.

Broken Social Scene will also be playing select dates around their new album’s release.

Kaki King: Junior Out 4/13 Signs To Rounder

KAKI KING SIGNS TO ROUNDER RECORDS, JUNIOR OUT APRIL 13

Kaki King

Singer & guitarist extraordinaire Kaki King has signed with Rounder Records. Named a “Guitar God” by Rolling Stone, King has spent the past decade gathering critical acclaim and fan admiration. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her contribution to the musical score of the 2007 film Into the Wild, and also performed on the Foo Fighters‘ 2007 Grammy winning album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.

As with her previous album, 2008′s Dreaming of Revenge, Junior was produced by Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith), but unlike each of King’s previous efforts – where she recorded all the instruments herself – for Junior she enlisted help from multi-instrumentalist Dan Brantigan and drummer Jordan Perlson. King wrote each of the album’s 11 songs.

Following her previously announced European dates, King will spend the Spring in the U.S., hitting New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago and Los Angeles, among many others.
