Sneak-y Peek-y: Bumbershoot 2009 Lineup

Looks like there might be some fun up in the Pacific Northwest this September…

A teeny portion of the music lineup includes:
Sheryl Crow / Modest Mouse / Katy Perry / Michael Franti & Spearhead / De La Soul / Raphael Saadiq / Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan / The Long Winters / Sly & Robbie & the Taxi Gang / World Party / MSTRKRFT / Roy Ayers / Common Market / UH HUH HER / Dave Alvin and The Guilty Women / Eric Hutchinson / No Age / Matt & Kim / Dead Confederate / The Cave Singers / Swollen Members / Vieux Farka Touré / Lenka / Gang Gang Dance / Todd Snider / Holy F**k / DJ Spooky / Iglu & Hartly / Low vs Diamond / Sera Cahoone / Eleni Mandell / Carrie Rodriguez / The Honey Brothers / Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head / Extra Golden / Cordero / Forgive Durden / Hey Marseilles / Adrian Xavier, and much, much more to be announced.

Question for those in charge of developing that site: Aren’t you supposed to be all arty and exclusive??? If you want to be pretentious, stay away from words like “teeny” - jus’ sayin’.

Oh, and how dare you make this thing affordable?

If you haven’t picked up your ticket yet, what are you waiting for? An advance 3-day pass is only $80… Um, that’s $26.67 a day…and if you really wanted to boil it down, say you checked out 10 things a day (not tough to do!)… using our expert math skills, that comes out to just $2.67 per show. It’s a wonder you don’t spell “bargain,” B-U-M-B-E-R-S-H-O-O-T.

That’s basically like going to the movies and buying one piece of popcorn. And just for that:

Buy tickets here and go to the movies some other time.

Works for me. All the info is up at the All Points West website - including extended lineup listing.
Okay, I’ll go. I’ll go but on the condition that we stop at a few colleges on the way so my mom thinks I’m out scouting for my future, then we can go to a frat party where Snoop will probably do a surprise performance. Also, if we go off road at some point, don’t talk to the locals cause it’s a trick! Hey look, a big girl is flashing us!

Santigold (Not Sant-O-gold!) Tour Dates

Unless you’re more into infomercials, fat wrestlers and bowl cuts than you are halfway decent music, be sure that when you go to see “Santogold,” you’re actually seeing Santigold and not Santo Gold. Got it?

antiMusic.com says:

Santigold will take her endless dance party across the US one more time this spring before heading back into the studio to record the follow up to her self-titled debut.
Santigold will be performing with a full band and dancers for the first time in North America to bring her genre-blending sound to life.

Virgin Records artist Trouble Andrew, who can be heard on the Santigold track “I’m A Lady,” along with Downtown Records’ singer/mc Amanda Blank will be the openers.

Because Touring Was Too Easy, Y’Know?

One of these days, Punknews is gonna have some good news. GEEZ.

The Chicago event promoter ordinance, first reported back in May, is currently before City Council’s License and Consumer Protection Committee. While there have been changes made to the original ordinance, the current version of the legislation would still require promoters to obtain $300,000 in liability insurance on top of paying fees ranging from $500 to $2,000.

Promoters are still worried the current ordinance would significantly affect business and DIY shows would become all but impossible.

To read the new version of the bill, along with explanations (prepared by the City of Chicago) on the changes made, go here.

Any word there on whether or not the City of Chicago will at least balance this with providing a bathroom stocked with toilet paper and free of vomit, shoe-soaking urine and bad graffiti? I mean, it’s no way to treat a guest, jus’ sayin’.

FIB Heineken: Get Your (80’s) Boogie On!

Based on a Filter update on the FIB Heineken festival, if one were to desire to do so, one might successfully round up all 80’s enthusiasts in one place, at one time. At which point one might be able to do whatever one desires to them all in one fell swoop. :

After already selling more than 20,000 tickets, popular Spanish music fest, FIB Heineken Benicàssim, has just announced the addition of The Psychedelic Furs, White Lies, Friendly Fires and Boys Noize to their four day music fest.

The new additions will join the likes of The Killers, Oasis, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand and Paul Weller onstage from July 16th-19th on the east coast of Spain.

Pretty solid, but not enough bandanas for me, pal.

Bonnaroo: Great Lineup, Needs Better Poster

The full lineup for the this year’s Bonnaroo is official. For those of you willing to brave June in Tennessee, have at it. I’m not posting the logo because quite frankly, it makes me not want to go - and the bands playing in that sweat soup deserve a little better presentation, Bonnarooians. It might actually be worth the hassle just for the Beastie Boys and Al Green, but the rest of the lineup ain’t half bad. Just… bring ice.
Here are some of the highlights… or lowlights, depending on whether or not you have a soul:

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Phish (2 shows - is that really necessary?)
Beastie Boys
Nine Inch Nails
David Byrne
Wilco
Al Green
Snoop Dogg
Elvis Costello Solo
Erykah Badu
Paul Oakenfold
Ben Harper and Relentless7
The Mars Volta
TV on the Radio
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Band of Horses
Merle Haggard
MGMT
The Decemberists
Bon Iver
of Montreal
Coheed & Cambria
Lucinda Williams
Animal Collective
Down
Citizen Cope

With a festival that full of good bands, one would think they could do better than this, right? Something cool… like say, this. Well, turns out you’ll have the opportunity to live up to my unfounded high-standards by gettin’ on down with this. Nice.

Any-whoooo: With the occasional attack of New Hipster brown-footedness and old guy stuff, this should be a whole lot better than the majority of the festivals happening this summer - beats Faux-Skateboarding in Girl’s Jeans but… you might wanna bring one of these just in case.

For those not sure they can handle the heat, I’ll tell you what:
Go into your closet and take out your least comfortable wool sweater. Soak it in honey. Place honey-soaked wool sweater in Microwave on low to avoid shrinkage. (*teehee - m.*) Remove upon reaching 80º and wear daily. Remove only to reheat. If you can handle this, you’re good to go.

PJ Harvey Tour Dates - Including Two U.S. Shows?

But be patient!
These are from her MySpace - and keep in mind that her new collaboration with John Parish, A Woman A Man Walked By, is due out March 31st.
For a great story about what this collaboration means for Harvey, check out this article at Spinner.com. Please keep in mind while reading that this is the same chick who stood toe-to-toe with King of the Bad Asses, Mark Lanegan (Himself, Queens of the Stone Age, The Twilight Singers/The Gutter Twins, Soulsavers) on his BUBBLEGUM album and somehow made the songs sound… creepier.

Plus: What pictures did this chick have on her walls growing up?

I’m taking PJ Harvey in a knife fight vs. The Other Mother anytime, anywhere.

Enough. Here’s these, more to come… hopefully.:

The trip to either coast might be worth it just for this song.
(Those fascists at Universal disabled embedding of the actual video - ’cause they care so much about their artist - so I had to post this live clip. Poor Universal, losing out on “views.” PLEASE STOP HELPING.)

Murder City Devils Touring February ‘09!

World collapsing? Foreclosure? Lifelong favorite pro football team being steered into the bottom of San Francisco Bay by Al Davis? All those stocks you didn’t own gone down the toilet and now your boss is pissed! (Don’t worry, I’m sure you reading this while you’re at work is just what the doctor ordered)

Well… we’ve actually got some good news. You remember that, right?

The Murder City Devils are… back together kind of? Or just touring?

Ummm. Don’t care.
You give me a free switchblade knife, I’m not gonna complain that it’s not buried in the heart of my enemy. It’s a switchblade - you just accept it and get to stabbin’ fools in street fights. (What?)

Anyway, they’re at least back together for some shows, and I’d say that’s cause for much rejoicing!

The Flaming Lips booked for All Tomorrow’s Parties

All Tomorrow’s Parties has announced the latest addition to their already stellar line up.   The Flaming Lips will curate Sunday’s festivities, rounding out a weekend of good music and comedy.

I’ll be honest… I only posted this gig news because I love the poster. How is it that one group of festival promoters can have so much great artwork?

Hey, Other Promoters! Get it together!

Clouds are “Above You” and… probably near

Boston rock band (we’re gonna do our best to resist - most likely, in vain - the term “Stoner Rock” for as long as possible) Clouds are hammering out a pretty impressive tour schedule to wrap up the year in support of their latest release, We Are Above You.

Social Distortion and Motörhead to headline Musink

Sleepercar to tour with obscure indie group Coldplay

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jim Ward of Sleepercar (and At The Drive-In/Sparta) on how the Coldplay gig happened:

From Nov. 3 in Detroit through Nov. 26 in Phoenix, El Paso’s own Sleepercar will be touring with one of the biggest bands in the world: Coldplay. While media and fans may not grasp any connection between the two, having either band talk about the other makes the situation perfectly clear. There’s a long history of love between Sleepercar founder Jim Ward and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman.

“I first met them on tour with At the Drive-In; we both played the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show in 2000,” Ward recalls. The event annually brings the best of the year’s new bands together with more renowned legends for a two-night extravaganza in Los Angeles. “And then we played Big Day Out in Australia, which we all refer to as Big Day Off because there’s so much time off in between.”

At the time, both Coldplay and At the Drive-In had solid core followings but were still considered relatively new bands among the mainstream. In fact, for the Acoustic Christmas they came first and second in the performance line-up, with the likes of Papa Roach and No Doubt claiming the headline slots. No doubt there was additional bonding over what it was like to be experiencing the limelight for the first time, which Ward and the members of Coldplay can certainly reference today to keep things in perspective.

“We end up spending a lot of time together and the big joke on that tour was that I just wanted to hang out with the pale guys since I was the only white guy [in the band],” Ward continues with a laugh. The friendships blossomed to hospitality, with Ward recalling that when At the Drive-In cancelled the last dates of their 2001 European tour, they stayed with members of Coldplay in England.

Shared musical sensibilities drew Ward and his Coldplay peers closer as time went on with each influencing the other via their tastes and experiences. “Guy was the one who turned me on to Gram Parsons, actually,” says Ward. “We always joked about starting a country band together. Obviously, they took off and that didn’t happen, but I’ve spent time with them over the years.”

In order to keep the musicians in contact over so much time and circumstance, there was a deeper connection between them that went beyond merely being in the same place at the same time. Almost a decade later and despite the slings and arrows of life in the music industry, the guys remain close. Most recently, Ward visited the band in London during the making of their latest album ‘Viva la Vida.’ And when he finished his Sleepercar record earlier this year, Ward was proud to share it with his Coldplay friends right off.

“When I finished this record and showed it to them, I said, ‘This will probably be the last band I ever start,’” Ward recalls. He’s quick to clarify that it wasn’t with any intention of touring or collaborating with Coldplay, adding, “But somehow it happened to work out. I mean, I was done for the year and everybody was basically deciding what else they were gonna do, and then this came out of the blue.”

There was never any doubt in Ward’s mind that Sleepercar belonged on tour with Coldplay. “At the very beginning when the record came out, I was telling Chris, ‘This is the first band I’ve been in that I feel could tour with you.’ We’ve been friends for so long and have tried to get shows worked out; with Sparta, we tried several times to be on tour with them, but one thing or another would happen. But this is the one that I felt just went with them a little bit more.”

For their part, Coldplay was eager to comment on the pairing with Sleepercar and sent this very enthusiastic endorsement from the middle of a European tour (Rotterdam, to be exact): “We are very thrilled to be closing for one of our favourite bands of the modern age: Sleepercar, a band that could not have existed were music in 2008 not such a diverse, free thinking and open minded kind of place. They are the link between the Ramones and the Carter family, between Rage and McGraw, between JC and ACDC, and above all their songs make you want to sing ‘em. We can’t wait to tour with Sleepercar. Love, Coldplay.”

To Ward, Coldplay has a lot of meaning in return. “I’ve always looked up to not just the way they run the band. Obviously, they have a great songwriter, but I’ve always looked up to the way they’re really good at acknowledging each other’s strong points. And then as a whole, they really push themselves. They could easily just write ‘Parachutes’ over and over again and be masters forever. But I remember Chris saying about this new record that it didn’t matter if half the crowd was alienated by it—like that was almost a positive thing. I just admire the fact that they still want to push themselves when they could very easily not. They’ve had huge success, they’re the most successful band I’m friends with!”

From first-hand experience, Ward acknowledges that attaining such success often leads artists to be terrified to try anything different for fear of losing it. “It’s sort of easier to take potshots at big bands. Chris has his own way of dealing with it, with his funny little self-deprecating quotes and things like that. But I really love their faith in the power of music. At the end of the day, I honestly think they’re really trying to push themselves and always do more.” It’s a quality Ward has always tried to cultivate in his own work and life. Having him around is sure to be a welcome reminder of that integrity for Coldplay.

 

Sleepercar, the new project from Jim Ward of At The Drive-In and Sparta, will be on the road with Coldplay this November.

BRING ME THE HORIZON LAUNCH U.S. tour, unleash Hell.

UK’s Hottest Metalcore Band To Kick Off U.S. Tour in November

On November 7th Britain’s most buzzed about band, Bring Me The Horizon, will unleash hell on their first ever headlining tour of the U.S. in anticipation of the their new album, Suicide Season, which is set for release on November 18th.

Kerrang!’s “Best British Newcomers” Bring Me The Horizon made their rowdy introduction to the States at the Vans Warped Tour and quickly drew some of the festivals largest audiences. Frontman Oli Sykes’ unruly antics, harsh growls and vigorous stage presence allow him to command the crowd, which often times results in a massive fan frenzied orgy of slamdancing chaos.
Recently featured on the cover of Kerrang! and Rocksound, Bring Me The Horizon are stirring up buzz in the U.S. with their insanely energetic live shows and the anticipated release of their new album, Suicide Season. Much like their shows, Suicide Season kicks down the doors of preconception with a non-stop barrage of 100 proof metalcore.

From the album’s opening track “The Comedown,” a brutal double kick in the teeth, to the moody hardcore meltdown of “Chelsea Smile” and the prog-screamo sing along “The Sadness Will Never End,” Suicide Season doesn’t let up until the last notes of the album-ending title track.
Get in the pit this fall with Bring Me The Horizon!!!!
