Now 71, Paul McCartney continues to amaze. Read this wonderful review posted today in Billboard. Wish I could have been there!
The Grateful Dead is back for the third annual “Grateful Dead Meet Up at the Movies 2013” on Thursday, August 1 at 7:30 p.m. (local time). This year’s Meet Up features “Sunshine Daydream,” the most requested release of the band’s entire career. Originally shot on 16mm film on the grounds of the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta, Oregon in 1972—and painstakingly restored to HD resolution—“Sunshine Daydream” captures the band at the height of their powers. With the Dead lending their services to the Kesey family to help keep their Springfield Creamery afloat, this colorful counterculture time capsule features special appearances by key members of the Grateful Dead community and a cavalcade of Merry Pranksters.
Featuring all new stereo and 5.1 audio mixes, the set list for this epic performance includes “Bird Song,” “Dark Star,” “Jack Straw,” “Playing In The Band,” and more.
"Grateful Dead Meet Up at the Movies 2013" will be presented in nearly 450 select movie theaters around the country -- click here for a full list of participating theaters (subject to change):
Tickets are available now at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.
Finally IWRESTLEDABEARONCE has announced details about their forthcoming album and tour. Below is the official media release:
IWRESTLEDABEARONCE REVEAL DETAILS ABOUT THIRD STUDIO ALBUM
Los Angeles based experimental-heavy-rock band IWRESTLEDABEARONCE have announced they will release their highly anticipated, third studio album, Late For Nothing, on August 6th via Century Media Records.
Late For Nothing was self-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by the band’s guitarist/programmer Steven Bradley at the band’s home studio in Los Angeles. It also marks IWABO’s first record with their fiery new singer Courtney LaPlante who joined the band with only a day’s notice during last summer’s Vans Warped Tour.
Newly recharged with the addition of LaPlante, Bradley and cohorts John Ganey (guitar/programming), Mike “Rickshaw” Martin (bass) and Mikey Montgomery (drums) are set to keep their fans guessing with Late For Nothing. While the band’s signature, avant-garde style is well intact on the new album; their style has progressed immensely. By far their boldest and most accessible release to date, Late For Nothing rips and roars with blunt force intensity, incorporating their brain joggling breakdowns with a unique blend of electronics, jazzed-out time signatures and break neck riffage.
"The entire album came together as a result of us wanting to do something different," affirms Bradley. "We didn't want to make another weird IWABO album or whatever people were expecting. We set out to make something different and better than anything we've ever released. It's a more evolved version of the band. We explored new styles and genres as well—especially in terms of the more spacey, epic, and beautiful parts. It's got the most melodic moments of our career as well as the heaviest."
Featuring the forthcoming, schizophrenic first single “Thunder Chunky,” Late For Nothing scales the summit of heavy rock/metal with twelve teeth gnashing tracks that find a happy medium between crushing metal and beautifully orchestrated melody. The album’s opener, “Thunder Chunky,” sets the tone for the album as they slash their way through songs like “Letters To Stallone,” that showcases LaPlante’s incredible balance of full throttle screams and melodic choruses, and“Carnage Asada,” which features a guest solo from the legendary Steve Vai.
IWABO will head to Europe for a summer run before returning to support the release of Late For Nothing in the U.S. on The All Stars Tour 2013 with Every Time I Die.
