According to a recent post on Blabbermouth, Meshuggah will be releasing a live DVD later on this year, and will also be recording an album for release in 2010. Danny’s other band, Pigmy Love Circus are playing a gig tonight with bands Sturgeon, Sextapes and Hectors Revenge at the Key Club in Hollywood. Sounds like fun if you can make it!
Bill Hicks‘ performance on the Late Show with Dave Letterman is finally being broadcast some 15 years after it was recorded. Also appearing on tonight show is Hicks’ mother, and probably some shitty top 10 list. Sorry about the late notice, the show has quite possibly already aired! no doubt Youtube will save the day though… Edit: Yay for Youtube! Couldn’t see the other 2 parts though!
The new track from Puscifer The Mission featuring Danny Lohner and Milla Jovovich can now be found streaming on Puscifer.com
Frostadamus tells me that Maynard is in two movies coming out this year. The first is The Other Side, where Maynard plays a series of roles (Hippie/Chauffeur/Pilot/Bartender/Butler/Bait Shop Clerk). The second is Crank 2: High Voltage where he plays an uncredited Dog Walker. Isis have named their new album Wavering Radiant according to Blabbermouth. This album, to be released on Ipecac Recordings on the 5th of May, will feature Adam… Read More »Maynard in Movies, Isis Album
Pigmy Love Circus play a rare live show in February with bands Sextapes (featuring Chris Pitman) and Sturgeon (featuring Kent Brisley), all of who apparently played in a band in Kansas called Ibizabar. The gig will be held at the Keyclub Hollywood on February 4th. First 50 through the door get a free Sturgeon CD!
According to stubbadub.com the Melvins gig in Sydney will be held at the Annandale on the 22nd of January: Almost 25 years, over 25 albums and still counting, the Melvins are considered one of the godfathers of sludge metal whom heavily influenced the Seattle grunge scene back in the 90’s. With a cult following across the globe, and including original members King Buzzo (Guitar/vocals) and Dale Crover (Drums/vocals), the band… Read More »Melvins Sydney Gig
Tickets to the Melvins gig at the Ding Dong Lounge go on sale at Moshtix Friday morning 9:00am EST. It is a small venue and I’d expect tickets to probably sell out, so if you’re planning on going, don’t delay! According to the Ding Dong Lounge they will be performing Houdini in it’s entirety and Trevor Dunn from Fantomas will be on Bass. That makes me ever more jealous of… Read More »Melvins Melbourne Tickets on sale Tomorrow!
James emailed Isis today about the video that may or may not feature Maynard, and their response was: ‘ Hey thanks a lot and thanks for watching. Nope, no song of ours in the background. I think you may be hearing a performance that was happening in the background at the festival where Mike rode the bull. ‘ Take care, ISIS You failed again Ganjalf. Frostradamus pointed out to me… Read More »Not Maynard, Puscifer Update
Ganjalf told me today that he was checking out a new clip from Isis in the recording studio, and some of the music playing while showing some mechanical bull riding has a strangely familiar voice… It does sound like Maynard. Does anyone else recognise the music as something else?
Blair released the December Newsletter on Toolband today, and surprisingly it’s somewhat on topic. For those who can’t be bothered reading it: Nothing happening on the Tool front at the moment, but song writing will probably commence once the holiday season is over (with presumably Maynard joining them after the Puscifer shows). Also, no decision has been made as to whether or not they might tour in 2009. Personally, I… Read More »December Tool Newsletter
