After a couple weeks on Christmas vacation, those Ajax punks are back on the road for another run of their home country. The new and more serious Sum 41 will be touring all around Canada up until the middle of February when they head off to the land of the rising sun. With shows in most markets already on sale, you’d better run to grab tickets fast because the first Toronto date on the tour is already sold out. Goons in the Big Smoke aren’t entirely out of luck though – the Sums have just added another date. In addition… Read more »

Well, they do say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease and apparently no rock fans squeak louder than the Motely Crue faithful. When the Crue announced their reunion/farewell Red, White & Crue Tour last month, Canadian hair metal fans were outraged that the famously debauched ’80s rock band were only planning to make stops in Ottawa and Toronto. Regional radio stations began rallying the troops, petitions were started and much to their own delight, Motley Crue earned a whole lot of free publicity. And these fans weren’t looking for a nostalgic trip through irony-land either – they were dead… Read more »

Worried you won’t be able to land a ticket to your favorite concert this summer? Not to fear, the music industry has a club you can join. For a small fee.

The artist fan clubs offer an increased chance – but no guarantee – of getting a concert… Read more »

Well, last year we bid a sad and final farewell to Molson Park in Barrie, a favourite summer concert/festival venue in Ontario for the past 20 years and the host of many past Edgefests. The 2003 Edgefest made history by being the last event to ever be held at the Park. But with Molson Park sadly out of the picture, the state of Edgefest’ s existence was left up in the air. We weren’t sure if there was even going to be another Edgefest, let alone where the next one would be held. But Edgefest 2004 is a go and… Read more »

You say you want a revolution? Well, you know – we all want to change the world. Except for Chris Colus. He’s the drummer for a reggae-roots-rock band, freshly signed to a major record label, and he’s trying to explain that band’s name, which is O.A.R. – Of A Revolution. “There’s no political motive,” the 25-year-old Rockville, MD native insists. “This is the music we’ve wanted to play, the music we wanted to hear – that’s a revolution for ourselves and our fans.” The “Of A Revolution” name actually comes from “The Wanderer,” a short story singer-guitarist Marc Roberge wrote… Read more »

InteractiveCorp chief executive Barry Diller said Monday he is talking to French entertainment and telecommunications firm Vivendi Universal about the sale of his stake in Vivendi’s entertainment arm as it merges with NBC. Diller said he has had “superficial discussions” with Vivendi’s chief executive about unwinding the complicated partnership known as Vivendi Universal Entertainment. But he said the talks cannot be characterized as negotiations and that he is just as happy to keep his shares once General Electric Co.’s NBC division completes its purchase later this year. “We’re not anxious,” Diller said while speaking at a media conference in Phoenix… Read more »
