The pre-teens and paparazzi that packed themselves into the Westside Pavilion Mall on Wednesday buzzed excitedly as they awaited a surprise press conference about to take place in Hot Topic.
For a while now, Katy Perry has been teasing fans about her upcoming album.
If you thought 2009 was a big year for music, just wait until you see what 2010 has in store.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Weezer has canceled the rest of its December tour after the lead singer was injured in a bus crash in New York.
NEW YORK —- On the heels of the release of the second volume of Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo’s home recordings, the alternative rock group is now taking a look back into its own vaults. Cuomo told Billboard he has “no idea” when the tentatively titled “Odds and Ends” will be released, but describes it as “just another fun project to do. They’re great songs, but for some reason they didn’t make the final cut for (a) record. They span a vast period of time from the very beginning of our career in the early ’90s right up to the present… Read more »
Weezer are to start recording their sixth album next month. The as-yet-untitled album will be the follow up to 2005’s Make Believe. Singer Rivers Cuomo said that the band should released the new album next year. Posting on Weezer.com, he wrote, “Weezer is just polishing up a batch of songs for a recording session that is going to start at the beginning of July. This will be the final recording session for out sixth album, which we aim to put out in the first half of 2008.”
Last time we heard from Weezer, frontman Rivers Cuomo said they were “done.” Cooked. Put on ice … again.All of a sudden, though, it seems like things have ramped back up for the band that is more on-again/off-again than a Brittany Murphy engagement. Months after a mysterious Web site with the vague name AlbumSix.com began redirecting traffic to Weezer’s homepage, a note was posted on both sites on Monday announcing that the group was not only back together, but about to wrap up work on a yet-untitled sixth album. A post titled “Yams, clams, flans, plans, shams, crans and glands”… Read more »
Hawthorne Heights frontman JT Woodruff can scream like nobody’s business, but when he’s speaking to you one-on-one, it’s in soft, hushed tones, like his voice has been wrapped in a woolen scarf. And his voice gets even softer when he’s asked about his band’s recent successes: the record that’s climbing the charts, the headlining slot on this summer’s Warped Tour and the video that’s just been added to MTV’s rotation. It’s one thing to be uncomfortable in the spotlight, but Woodruff’s aversion to sudden fame is downright Rivers Cuomo-esque. “Uh, well, it means more kids are coming to our shows.… Read more »
Three years after he left the band, guitarist Wes Borland is back with Limp Bizkit and working on the group’s next album. Beginning Monday morning (August 16), visitors to the homepage of Limp Bizkit’s official site were immediately confronted by a photo collage showing Borland in a studio with his former bandmates. Under the images, the caption reads: “August Thirteenth Two Thousand and Four.” Meanwhile, on Fred Durst’s blog the frontman himself authenticates what had been rumored for the past month in a post dated Saturday that read, “Well, now the Limp Bizkit fans know about Wes. Pretty dope.” Limp… Read more »
“You may know this song,” Evanescence singer Amy Lee uttered demurely nine songs into the group’s headlining set Tuesday night at the Congress Theatre. “It’s the song that got us here.” Understatement of the year. Without “Bring Me to Life,” the ubiquitous rap-rock confection featured on Fallen, the Little Rock, Arkansas, troupe would be far more concerned finding people who can pronounce “Evanescence” than finding wall space for their double-platinum album. Now, only five months after the release of Fallen, Evanescence are headlining the Nintendo Fusion Tour, a 20-date excursion that has the band performing after Cold, the group that’s… Read more »
