One of my guilty pleasures from the 90’s, Garbage, releases their first greatest hits package Absolute Garbage.
It’s probably been a long time since you’ve heard from Garbage. But you have to remember who they were. The band started by three producers and fronted by a beautiful red-haired Scot.
Being a greatest hits package, all of the […]
The reunited, and cleaned up, Meat Puppets will be hitting the road from late August to October to promote their comeback album Rise To Your Knees.
It’s been 11 years since the brothers Kirkwood were both members of the Meat Puppets. The band first split from 1996 to 1999, after years of drug problems for Cris […]
Chris Cornell rocked the Borgata’s Music Box on July 27 .
Former Audioslave and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell put on a phenomenal show in Atlantic City. It didn’t hurt that the Music Box was a immaculate venue at the beautiful Borgata. It only held around 900 people, so there wasn’t a bad seat in the house.
Cornell’s […]
Last week Chris Cornell celebrated a birthday (July, 20) and he’s currently on tour promoting his second album, Carry On. So, it seems fitting to share some FYI on Chris Cornell.
Chris Cornell started piano lessons at a very early age, but he disliked the lessons so he taught himself. By age 8 he had enough […]
Several months ago a friend of mine introduced me to the wonderful music of Elliott Smith. I had heard of him before, but never really sat down and absorbed his work. Immediately there were a handful of songs that I feel in love with and one of them was “Waltz #2 (xo)” from 1998’s XO.
For […]
It’s been 5 years since Silverchair released an album and it was well worth the wait.
Who would thought that Silverchair, a group of Australian teens, would bloom into one of the best bands around right now. Australia may have never forgotten the lads, but most of us in the States seemed to; which means […]
On September 22 107.7 The End will present their 16th edition of EndFest in Seattle.
This year the Smashing Pumpkins will headline the radio station sponsored show, which is a stop on the band’s fall reunion tour. Also on the bill will be the legendary Social Distortion, Perry Ferrell’s new project Satellite Party, The Used and the fantastic […]
The Bay Area rockers just appeared on Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur with an awesome version of John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero”. They will also have cameos in the upcoming Simpsons movie, oh yeah, they also recorded a new version of the theme song too!
There seem to be 2 theories about how the […]
A muggy night and a predictable setlist couldn’t stop The Police from rocking Philly.
The weather held out last night, as fans eagerly waited for the reunion tour of the year, maybe even the decade. The legendary trio came blazing onto the stage with electric renditions of “Message in a Bottle” and “Synchronicity II”. Of course the band played […]
I’ve been on a huge Police kick, so I decided to write about a classic track from 1980’s Zenyatta Mondatta. The song was written by Sting while The Police were on tour. The story goes that while in his hotel room Sting saw a program about starving children and was inspired to write “Driven To Tears”.
The song […]
