6/27/2012 Aerosmith Delays Latest Record Band Pushes Back Release to November Aerosmith's new album has hit another delay. Frontman Steven Tyler tells that "Music From Another Dimension" won't be hitting stores on August 28th as previously announced, but is now set to arrive in stores on November 6th. He explains that the group decided to hold their album back because several other artists are scheduled to put out albums in late August, and Aerosmith doesn't want to "step on their release dates." This is the second delay for Aerosmith's album. "Music From Another Dimension" was originally expected to arrive in conjunction with the start of the band's "Global Warming Tour," which got under way earlier this month. In April the band announced that the disc would be coming out in August. "Music From Another Dimension" is Aerosmith's long-awaited follow up to their 2004 effort, "Honkin' On Bobo." The album features the band's new single "Legendary Child." Read More
6/26/2012 Black Keys Looking for Gold in Law suits Band Claims Illegal use of their songs in Commercials The Black Keys could soon bring in a little more gold thanks to a pair of lawsuits. Reports say Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have filed two separate federal complaints against Pizza Hut and Home Depot. The musicians claim the pizza makers used their song "Gold on the Ceiling" without obtaining the proper rights, while arguing that the hardware retailers did the same with "Lonely Boy." Both tracks come from last year's album "El Camino," which was co-produced by the duo's fellow complaintiff, Danger Mouse. The Keys are seeking damages and an immediate end to the airing of the commercials in question. A spokesperson for Pizza Hut says they are unaware of any issue, but they still plan to investigate the band's claim. Likewise, Home Depot says they're still reviewing the complaint, adding that they consider respect for intellectual property to be "enormously important." Read More
6/19/2012 Red Hot's Chili Peppers' Long Line of Singles 18 New Songs debut as 2 sided singles over Next 9 Months The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS are releasing 18 previously unheard songs over the next six months . . . as nine two-song singles. The songs were recorded during the sessions for their last album, "I'm with You", which came out last August. (--In other words, these are fairly new songs. They do NOT span the Peppers' near 30-year career.) The singles will be released digitally, and as seven-inch vinyl records. The first one is coming out on August 14th, and will have songs called "Strange Man" and "Long Progression". The second one is coming on September 11th, the third will be out October 2nd, and so on. Guitarist JOSH KLINGHOFFER says, quote, "[They're] songs that seemed to want to pair up and take a later train. Keep your eye on them, they're up to something." It's unclear exactly what that means . . . but we do know that if you collect all the vinyl singles, you'll be able to somehow "combine the covers to create a larger piece of art." Maybe that's what he's referring to. There's no word how much the singles will run you. Read More
6/14/2012 Secret Van Halen Plans Revealed. Eddie Explains "What Happened" & New Tour for 2013 Van Halen is looking ahead to next year. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen tells us that once the band wraps up their trek this month, they'll resume the tour in Japan in November. He adds that the group will "possibly do something special" in 2013, but he "can't talk about it." Eddie's remark has led to a rash of rumors and speculation that Van Halen will play the halftime show at Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans next February. However, neither CBS, which will air the game, nor the NFL have made any announcement about the upcoming event. Eddie also says everything is fine with the group, even though they recently scrapped the second leg of their reunion tour with founding frontman David Lee Roth. Eddie echoes the singer's earlier explanation for the change of plans, saying the group simply "bit off more than we could chew." He explains that Van Halen started the tour earlier than they wanted to so they could perform at New York's Madison Square Garden before the venue closed for renovations, and that "threw the schedule out of whack." He adds that most of the cancelled stops were for cities the band has already visited. Van Halen ... Read More
