As my buddy said in a reply to this news, “Now there’s a welcome piece of news that made my year. Now we can relive the summer of 92 with two new Danzig albums. Let’s find an outdoor weightroom we can heckle people from.” It’s true, those days included a lot of Danzig and working out for our football summer camp. So, if you’re at all like us, you will be happy to hear that on May 29th, evilive will...
Philadelphia's Man Man are going on tour tour, and adding to the two-two punch is the fact that lead singer Honus Honus will stalk the same stage as Modest Mouse's equally enigmatic Isaac "Cut Cut" Brock. Ridiculous repetitions aside, the band will spend some time on the road by themselves before hooking up with MM. Look for plenty of stage antics, and listen out for new music from their as yet untitled album album (sorry, couldn't resist) Tour Dates: Apr...

Not only is it going to be green over Memorial...
Let's all hop in the wayback machine to 2002, when a little movie called Spider-Man made us believe that Tobey Maguire was an action hero and that Kirsten Dunst was an attractive redhead. Let us also shake our collective fists at that movie, for subjecting us to that damn song "Hero" all summer. Ugh, Nickelback. All Music Guide says it so well: "it's a disappointment that the soundtrack to Spider-Man is so calculated, pitched directly at the nü-metal/rap-rock/post-grunge crowd with...
Fresh off a week’s worth of showcases in Austin for the annual South by Southwest music conference, The Fratellis showed up at the Troubadour locked, loaded and ready for action. Having caught half of one of their electric sets and a full acoustic set in Austin I already had a good idea what was on the agenda for the evening, and that would be a tight set of the ol’ rock ‘n’ roll. They would not disappoint. They tore into...

For those of you unaware, Regina Spektor is like Fiona Apple, but funny and without the pretension. Also, the venues she plays are much smaller, and I’d be willing to bet that the tickets are cheaper. Which is good news for you, dear reader, since she’s headed out on tour this summer, and has slotted in stops on Good Morning America and Letterman for those of you who live in Podunk towns (apparently, New York qualifies as a Podunk town,...
