Rumors Link Eric Church with Kenny Chesney for 2013 Tour
September 19, 2012
Eric Church will be taking some time off from touring in 2013, but it appears he might still have some exciting news up his sleeve. Rumors are now rampant that Church will head out on the road with Kenny Chesney next year. Though Church hasn’t released any official word on the news, he did mention
Could Grunge Nirvana Happen with Joint Pearl Jam, Soundgarden Tour?
September 17, 2012
Could Pearl Jam and Soundgarden be planning on co-headlining road trip next year in what would be one of the biggest tour packages of the year? The Internet certainly is buzzing about the possibility, and the Internet may be right. The rumors are focused on the fact that both groups are expected to release new
Throat Problems Silence Some of Music’s Biggest Acts
September 16, 2012
Barely a week goes by lately without another high-profile star cancelling a major tour due to various throat problems. John Mayer announced an indefinite live hiatus last year following surgery to treat a granuloma condition. Simon Le Bon revealed that six semi-tones had been wiped off the top of his range after damaging his vocal
Concert Review: Godsmack at Uproar Festival in Atlanta
September 13, 2012
A random Wednesday in September seems like a peculiar choice for hosting a day-long festival event. The kids are busy learning how to become productive members of society, and the grownups are forced into the responsibilities of showing up to work. But nothing could be more welcoming than a fall afternoon in Atlanta. Yes, fall
Concert Review: Staind at Uproar Festival in Atlanta
September 13, 2012
The Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival rolled into Atlanta’s Aaron’s Amphitheatre Wednesday, bringing into town hard hitting muthas like Adelitas Way, Godsmack and Shinedown. It was an all-day event that began with the gravel lot transformed into a duel stage, and later moved the fun into the amphitheater for the evening’s main events. The hard core
Album Review: Owl City ‘The Midsummer Station’
September 11, 2012
You almost can’t get less cool than Owl City. Well, at least in the eyes of some of us, because after that ‘Fireflies’ song I’m going to have a hard time taking Adam Young completely seriously. The hope may be that there really are enough hipsters in the third grade to sustain him for the
Album Review: Trey Songz ‘Chapter V’
September 9, 2012
The album cover for Chapter V is anything but romantic or sexy, which are two words I would use to describe the content, even if they are sometimes in conflict with one another. The artwork depicts a series of five Treys stood in formation in a black and white photo, ruggedly textured and distressed, behind
Album Review: The Flaming Lips ‘The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends’
September 9, 2012
For what has the appearance of a compilation album, and is ostensibly an excuse for The Flaming Lips to work with a bunch of artists they seem to appreciate, it makes for a stellar album experience. I fully expected the songs to be disconnected, slightly self-serving jams and experiments. While the album runs the gamut
Album Review: Joss Stone ‘The Soul Sessions Vol 2’
September 4, 2012
When Joss Stone released her debut album, The Soul Sessions, in 2003, her voice and style of music were fairly unexpected. It was almost a novelty; this beautiful, young Brit singing the forgotten gems of an older generation of American singers. 2007’s Introducing Joss Stone was an album described as the artist finding her own
Prince Spinning Residency Dates in Chicago
September 3, 2012
Prince is no stranger to residencies, recently completing one each in New York and Los Angeles, and soon he will add Chicago to that list. A show titled “Welcome 2 Chicago” will be held September 24 at the United Center. Though that is the only show announced at this time, it is being called a
