[scrippet] FADE IN: EXT. HAWTHORNE FOOD CARTS – PORTLAND The Hawthorne food carts are a staple of Portland culture. Trying to manage the infamous “good morning” sandwich is proving difficult for comedian and SNL alum JON RUDNITSKY. The thing is a massive mess. JAKE NORDWIND, actor and endless ball of energy and punchlines, joins the table. The pair are touring together but still argue about whether a triad is a ménage à trois or Chinese organized crime—maybe it depends on where you’re from. More on that later… Rudnitsky’s breakthrough SNL sketch was a show stopping alternative performance of the famous dirty… Read more »
Despite being an electro-pop sensation, Lights is no stranger to acoustic albums.
Badanes and Maccoby are the co-founders of Emo Night Brooklyn, and every two months they relive the “heyday” of emo music at the Brooklyn Bowl.
The temperature outside the Skyway Theater the night of the Panic! At The Disco’s Minneapolis show was a frigid zero degrees with a wind chill plummeting into the negatives. But that didn’t stop the hardy concertgoers of the Upper Midwest from filing up the venue before the show even started – just in time for Brooklyn’s X Ambassadors and California’s The Colourist to ignite the frozen winter evening with a fire that didn’t die down until long after Panic!’s headlining set had ended.
On tonight’s episode of The Gunz Show, Boys Like Girls’ Paul DiGiovanni (lead guitar) and John Keefe (drums) announced that the band hopes to have their new album out sometime this summer.

idobi Radio caught up with DC’s local Boys Will Be Boys last friday at the 9:30 Club.
The quartet has a self-released EP on iTunes called The Release. Following in the path carved by other DC area bands such as All Time Low and The Friday Night Boys, the boys from Fairfax are proving to be contender and shine above other bands copying the sound of Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte.
Before Fall Out Boy soared into the consciousness of the mainstream music world and Pete Wentz became a tabloid fixture, the Chicago-based band cut its teeth in dingy Midwestern clubs. Now, well-versed in pop superstardom and with a new album in the wings, the band returned to St. Louis last Tuesday for an intimate night at the tiny Creepy Crawl. The show was announced only a few days prior, and ticket sales were done day-of-show at the venue. Prior to doors opening, the line of patrons stretched around the building into a back alley, and those first in line were… Read more »

Ashlee Simpson is no more of a threat to Fall Out Boy’s success than Pete Wentz’s affinity for eyeliner. So says the band’s guitarist Joe Trohman, who didn’t take kindly to a New York Daily News gossip item about a source telling OK! that the younger Simpson sis was “poison” to the pop-punk rockers, and could possibly be part of the reason why 2007’s Infinity on High didn’t score any Grammy nods. The group’s “pal” reportedly told the magazine that Grammy voters have been put off by Simpson since she was caught lip-synching on Saturday Night Live in 2004. “This… Read more »
AJ McLean remembers the conversation well. Kevin Richardson was having doubts about his future in the Backstreet Boys, and one night in the dressing room after a 2005 show, he told his friends in the mega-selling boy band how he was feeling. “There’s some things I need to do first, for me,” McLean recalled Richardson saying. The group had been discussing “when we wanted to start recording again,” McLean said. “Everyone was ready, but that was the first time Kevin put it out in the atmosphere that he wasn’t.” The Boys needed some time to digest Richardson’s news. In June… Read more »
