The Verve are back!

The Verve made their first live appearance in nine years at Glasgow Academy last night. Welcome back, boys.

Led Zeppelin reunion postponed!!!

I've been pretty harsh on bands today cancelling shows, but I'm not going to slag on Jimmy Page for making Zeppelin push back their reunion show from November 26th to December 10th because of a broken hand. First off, the guy is like 70. That kind of stuff happens. Second, he's 678457498 better than any other dude who has picked up a guitar in the last 50 years. That being said, I'm gonna let this one slide - once.

Smashing Pumpkins Reschedule Dates

So it seems like everyone has got a case of the "I'm not feeling too hot so I'm gonna cancel my tour" disease that is going around these days. Smashing Pumpkins drummer, Jimmy Chamberlain is sick, so the fake Pumpkins are going to have to reschedule their tour dates until he feels better.

Seriously, man up. You're not patroling the streets of Baghadad, you're a drummer in a rock band!


Let's remember the pumpkins back when they were good...and more people cared.

The Decemberists cancel tour dates

The Decemberists have cancelled the remainder of their "The Long and Short of It Tour." The band had been playing two nights in each city on this tour, alternating between sets filled with their longer, epic tunes and sets comprised of their shorter, more popular tracks. Apparently, someone in the band is sick and can't go on touring.

C'mon dude, drink some tea and hit the stage!

Band of Horses Tour

Seriously guys, if you haven't listened to "Band Of Horses " you are missing out on the most amazing band. Their new album, "Cease to Begin" comes out October 9th, 2007 and it is AMAZING!! That's right, I have it - be jealous. They are also going on tour to promote the record, so skip the lame-ass Starting Line/Paramore tour and go to see a real band.

Eddie Vedder releases "Into The Wild" Soundtrack

The new short-haired Eddie Vedder is going to release the soundtrack for the new Sean Penn directed film "into The Wild" on October 29th. This should be a good collection of Vedder's songs, as well as a great movie. I think Vedder also has a small cameo in the next Judd Apatow movie, "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" that comes out at Christmas time.
