ON HIATUS...

For a while as I need to get some shit sorted!


Hopefully when I get back things will be done and I'll have an amazing announcement. Wouldn't that be nice...

LADYHAWKE – MY DELERIUM

There is something really awesome about this clip. Not only is it an awesome song (and an incredible album!) but there is just something really 80's about the whole thing. Kind of like a cross between the clip for A-Ha's Take On Me and Jem & The Holograms (anyone else remember that cartoon, or am I the only one???)

Check out more Ladyhawke here.

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL IN AUSTRALIA

BOOYAH! ... Will be at the Sydney gig with Asher dancing the night away!

The Eagles of Death Metal fulfill the checklist of rock-star awesomeness like few other bands: 1) each member has a bad-ass nickname; 2) they rock an open-D tuning; 3) they’re homies with Dave Grohl and Jack Black; and 4) they trade in bourbon-soaked, denim-clad filthy rock’n’roll.

The two messiah’s of Rock and Roll Josh "Baby Duck" Homme (QOTSA) and Jesse "Boots Electric" Hughes produced their mind-blowing debut, Peace, Love, Death Metal in 2004. With its pastel cover and baby-pink vinyl it was saturated with some serious blues riffs, foot-stomping drums, and everything in between.

In 2006 Eagles Of Death Metal sentenced us to Death By Sexy. An ass-shakin boots-quakin' album chock full of rock'n'roll voodoo goodness, sending up and celebrating the high-Seventies hybrid of garage, glam and scuzz rock...”a masterpiece of horny fun and one mighty party album” – Uncut

With their third album, Heart On, the duo are as danceable as ever and have descended further into the well of innuendo. They've tiptoed away from straight musical pastiche, crudding up their blues boogie with sleazy tales of tight pants, loose women and masturbation. They’re “as close as anyone has come to the Rolling Stones' sexual stomp in their prime” The Guardian

With Australia in their sights Eagles Of Death Metal are set to bring their unyielding piss-up of tattooed garage riffs, petrol drenched blues and their penchant for debauchery in April.

Elora Danan's new album is out today ... I've heard it! It's good so everyone should go out and get it!

And while we're still on the topic of German Metalcore

(Yes, I said it!)

Here is xMaroonx playing Stillborn. For me it invokes mental images of the number of times this has been blasted from Cooper's car stereo and he has punished the steering wheel while I giggle at him. If you know Cooper, you know why this is funny...


ANYWAY ... Video ... Good song!

HEAVEN SHALL BURN AUSTRALIAN TOUR

SQUEEEEEEE!

Downside, they're supporting Trivium. BUT the point is that I get to see Heaven Shall Burn live in Australia and it WILL be EPIC!

All the dates are listed below and in the meantime you can watch an epic HSB video!


If you don't know them, I strongly recommend that you check them out. Just good hardcore tinged metal (I refuse to use the term metalcore). They're also a really tight live band. And their German (and we all know how I feel about German hardcore tinged metal ... xMaroonx anyone???)

HAVE HEART AUSTRALIAN TOUR MAY 2009

Graham at Resist just sent this over to me.

Resist Presents:

HAVE HEART AUSTRALIAN TOUR MAY 2009

Have Heart launched onto the worldwide hardcore scene in 2006 with the release of their debut full-length The Things We Carry. The world of hardcore was caught by surprise and calling the album “breakthrough” would be an understatement. Follow up album 2008’s Songs To Scream At The Sun debuted in the top 200 of the Billboard charts, and is the sound of an open call or a challenge to what people expect from a hardcore band. Lyrically and vocally, frontman Pat Flynn puts forward nothing short of ten intense and chilling songs-opening up personally in a way he only hinted at for The Things We Carry.

The band went from a regional hardcore band with a passionate following to Boston’s worldwide hardcore torch-bearers that would play every continent except Africa and Antarctica, selling out shows everywhere with the likes of Bane, Ceremony, Verse, Madball, Terror and even playing 50,000 person festivals in Columbia with Coheed & Cambria.

This May we see Have Heart returning to our shores for their first headline Australian tour. Tickets are on sale Friday March 6.

You have to really applaud the Resist crew for being amazing and bringing out so many awesome bands. I've already posted about Tom Gabel & Chuck Ragan, and now this. So to the guys at Resist ... You're all rulers!

MAC Cosmetics X Hello Kitty

Advert for the new line. So awesome in so many ways. OK, so it's mega-cliche in its Alice In Wonderland inspired them, but Hello Kitty gimp masks are clearly awesome!

New Banksy Pieces In London

After somewhat of hiatus, Banksy is back with these two new pieces in London and it makes me happy!

Subrosa Spring 2009

Awesome BMX brand, Subrosa, dropped their spring range of apparel and there is some SICK stuff in there.

I've posted my favourite, below (such an awesome script typeface) but you can check out the rest of the lookbook and styles here.

Misery Signals

Misery Signals were in town a few weeks ago and put on what was probably the greatest live show I've seen this year so far.

Craig Nye took a bunch of awesome photos, and I've got a whole heap on a roll of film I'm waiting to get developed (and will post here very soon).

We got to hang with them before and after the show for a bit due to "mag business". They're just super awesome, super nice dudes! I like when that happens...

FAITH NO MORE REUNION

Former FAITH NO MORE singer Mike Patton’s publicist has confirmed that the hugely influential ’90s alt-metal band will reunite for a summer tour. At the moment, it appears that the group will only perform in Europe and there are absolutely no plans to tour the States.

The news was broken in the final line of a press release sent late Monday night (February 23) promoting Patton’s involvement in the “major motion film ‘Crank 2: High Voltage’, which listed Patton’s upcoming performance schedule, including a stop at the Coachella festival and “the highly anticipated reunion tour with FAITH NO MORE in Europe this summer.”

As previously reported, a source close to guitarist Jim Martin, who was in FAITH NO MORE from 1983 until 1993, has told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the axeman expressed interest in taking part in the reunion after being recently contacted by keyboardist Roddy Bottum and a member of FAITH NO MORE’s management team, but that the band inexplicably decided to utilize a different guitarist — believed to be one of several musicians that were in FAITH NO MORE following Martin’s exit from the group — for the upcoming dates.

Although Kerrang! magazine reported in November that a number of U.K. concert venues had been placed on hold for FAITH NO MORE dates next spring, bassist Billy Gould downplayed the speculation, saying, “If anything like this were to happen, it would have to come from the band, and I haven’t spoken with any of them in over a year.”

Meanwhile, U.K. promoter Andy Copping also said FAITH NO MORE’s return this year was unlikely, telling Metal Hammer, “FAITH NO MORE haven’t managed to get that PR machine together … All of the band members haven’t agreed to do it.”

Martin left FAITH NO MORE in 1993 due to “internal conflicts” and was replaced by FNM singer Mike Patton’s MR. BUNGLE bandmate Trey Spruance. Trey also exited soon after recording 1995’s “King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime”, just before the band was to begin a world tour. Spruance was replaced by Dean Menta, the band’s guitar roadie. FAITH NO MORE’s final studio CD, “Album of the Year”, was released in 1997 and featured yet another new guitarist, Jon Hudson, who was a former roommate of Billy Gould.
