Walk The Moon’s “Anna Sun” Tops Sirius/XM’s Alt Nation Countdown

By The Audio Perv , Tags :


WALK THE MOON have hit the #1 spot on Sirius/XM’s Alt Nation’s Countdown with their explosive single “Anna Sun”. “Anna Sun” is the first single off their self titled RCA Records debut album which will be released on June 19th. WALK THE MOON will also head out on their first ever headlining tour beginning in May and will be performing on CBS’s The Late Show with David Letterman the week of June 18th.

Earlier this year WALK THE MOON released the “Anna Sun EP” which consists of three tracks, “Tightrope”, “Next In Line” and “Anna Sun”. The music video for “Anna Sun” recently crossed the 1 million play mark on VEVO and continues to burn up the radio charts.

WALK THE MOON’s self titled album is produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective) and features tracks from the “Anna Sun EP”, new songs and newly recorded versions of fan favorites off their 2010 independently released album i want! i want!.

After being featured in a profile piece on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly last spring following their stint at SXSW, WALK THE MOON recently returned to network television with another performance on “Last Call” as well as an incredible live performance on Late Night wth Jimmy Fallon.

Named one of “MTV’s Artists to Watch for 2012,” WALK THE MOON, who has already toured as part of MTVU’s first ever “Woodies Tour” with Young the Giant as well as with the Kaiser Chiefs, have captured the attention of fans and critics alike with their colorful and energetic live performances. Says Rolling Stone “Opening act Walk the Moon looked and sounded like a band that will be starting its own headlining tour in short order.”

Launched in Ohio in 2008 by lead singer, songwriter and keyboard player Nicholas Petricca, WALK THE MOON includes Kevin Ray (bass, vocals), Eli Maiman (guitar, vocals) and Sean Waugaman (drums, vocals).

Greek Fire Release Video To Benefit Drummer Johnny Venus & Create Cancer Awareness

By The Audio Perv , Tags :


As a cancer survivor, I like to help out others who’ve gone or are going through the same thing. Here’s a message below from the band Greek Fire. Please help out if you can.

————————————————————————————————

In February 2012, shortly after an amazing tour of Japan, GREEK FIRE drummer and longtime STORY OF THE YEAR drum tech Johnny Venus was diagnosed with Leukemia. As anyone can imagine, this devastating news came as a complete shock and rocked the entire camp to the core. Johnny is fighting the battle of his life, and even in these darkest of times his incredible courage and strength inspired Johnny’s fellow band mates to write a song about this profoundly difficult and emotional journey.

The song, “If this is the End (The Sound of Belief)” was utilized for a video GREEK FIRE released via YouTube on May 15th, 2012. The video was made for zero dollars by a group of amazing and selfless individuals that donated their time and talents with no thought of reward or payment, and the result is a heartfelt and emotional offering of hope and support for anyone, anywhere who has experience with cancer. Greek Fire is releasing this video in hopes that it can help people find the courage and strength to fight with all of their heart, and that there are people everywhere in the world fighting with them. That is the mission: HOPE. Please share this video with as many people as you can. Nothing will make Johnny Venus and the band more proud than if it can help someone, somewhere, in some way.

* 100% of proceeds generated from the sale of “If this is the End (The Sound of Belief)” will go directly to Johnny to help him with his battle.

“If this is the End (The Sound of Belief)”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zIJxl_gxTB4

This is a song about hope and finding the courage to fight when all seems lost. If you think this video can help someone you know, please forward it. If this video helps even a single person, then mission accomplished. Thank you very much.

This video was made possible by so many amazing and selfless people who donated their time and talents without thought of payment or reward: Eric Russell for additional direction, Martin Busler for additional production, John Pessoni and The Urge, Encapsulated Studios, Mike Jones, Matt Amelung, Andre and everyone at STL TV, Allan Hessler, Mike Bachta, John Oakes, Kevin Lyman and UNITE THE UNITED / WARPED TOUR, MUSICARES, and all of our amazing family and friends.

Jack White To Attempt To Set New World Record

By The Audio Perv , Tags :


Jack White has again decided to take on the tremendous challenge of making it into the Guinness Book of World Records.

During the rest of the performances on his current tour supporting his new album “Blunderbuss” (which incidentally is currently in the running for the world record of “the fastest named album in history” *pending), Jack White will every night on stage attempt to break the world record for most metaphors in a single concert.

The attempt may prove very exhausting and at times even dangerous, but the results could prove to be glorious and possibly even vainglorious. White and Third Man Records are certain that the extremely scientific and intricate analysis of the metaphors that occur will be examined in accordance with Guinness’ usually very thorough methods probably, or at the very least if somebody answers the phone at the pub.

Third Man Records encourages all attendees of said concerts to please not interfere or interject with any metaphors that they witness occur during the show as to not disqualify or worse yet, trivialize the metaphor in question. In addition all concert attendees are encouraged to entice as many metaphors to occur during the show that they possibly can as long as they don’t endanger themselves or Mr. White.

For your chance to participate in the making of history, Jack White & crew can be seen at one of the following venues:

Axl Rose Addresses The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

By drainu182 , Tags : , ,

We always love hearing from Axl Rose. Check out the letter he sent to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame about Guns N Roses’s upcoming induction.

To: The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Guns N’ Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern,

When the nominations for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame were first announced I had mixed emotions but, in an effort to be positive, wanting to make the most of things for the fans and with their enthusiasm, I was honored, excited and hoped that somehow this would be a good thing. Of course I realized as things stood, if Guns N’ Roses were to be inducted it’d be somewhat of a complicated or awkward situation.

Since then we’ve listened to fans, talked with members of the board of the Hall Of Fame, communicated with and read various public comments and jabs from former members of Guns N’ Roses, had discussions with the president of the Hall Of Fame, read various press (some legit, some contrived) and read other artists’ comments weighing in publicly on Guns and the Hall with their thoughts.

Under the circumstances I feel we’ve been polite, courteous, and open to an amicable solution in our efforts to work something out. Taking into consideration the history of Guns N’ Roses, those who plan to attend along with those the Hall for reasons of their own, have chosen to include in “our” induction (that for the record are decisions I don’t agree with, support or feel the Hall has any right to make), and how (albeit no easy task) those involved with the Hall have handled things… no offense meant to anyone but the Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony doesn’t appear to be somewhere I’m actually wanted or respected.

For the record, I would not begrudge anyone from Guns their accomplishments or recognition for such. Neither I or anyone in my camp has made any requests or demands of the Hall Of Fame. It’s their show not mine.

That said, I won’t be attending The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 2012 Ceremony and I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N’ Roses to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf. Neither former members, label representatives nor the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame should imply whether directly, indirectly or by omission that I am included in any purported induction of “Guns N’ Roses”.

This decision is personal. This letter is to help clarify things from my and my camp’s perspective. Neither is meant to offend, attack or condemn. Though unfortunately I’m sure there will be those who take offense (God knows how long I’ll have to contend with the fallout), I certainly don’t intend to disappoint anyone, especially the fans, with this decision. Since the announcement of the nomination we’ve actively sought out a solution to what, with all things considered, appears to be a no win, at least for me, “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” scenario all the way around.

In regard to a reunion of any kind of either the Appetite or Illusion lineups, I’ve publicly made myself more than clear. Nothing’s changed.

The only reason, at this point, under the circumstances, in my opinion whether under the guise of “for the fans” or whatever justification of the moment, for anyone to continue to ask, suggest or demand a reunion are misguided attempts to distract from our efforts with our current lineup of myself, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Frank Ferrer, Richard Fortus, Chris Pitman, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal and DJ Ashba.

Izzy came out with us a few times back in ’06 and I invited him to join us at our LA Forum show last year. Steven was at our show at the Hard Rock, later in ’06 in Las Vegas, where I invited him to our after-party and was rewarded with his subsequent interviews filled with reunion lies. Lesson learned. Duff joined us in 2010 and again in ’11 along with his band, Loaded, opening in Seattle and Vancouver. For me, with the exception of Izzy or Duff joining us on stage if they were so inclined somewhere in the future for a song or two, that’s enough.

There’s a seemingly endless amount of revisionism and fantasies out there for the sake of self-promotion and business opportunities masking the actual realities. Until every single one of those generating from or originating with the earlier lineups has been brought out in the light, there isn’t room to consider a conversation let alone a reunion.

Maybe if it were you it’d be different. Maybe you’d do it for this reason or that. Peace, whatever. I love our band now. We’re there for each other when the going get’s rough. We love our fans and work to give them every ounce of energy and heart we can.

So let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever. Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn’t owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another’s, or in this case several others’, expense.

But hey if ya gotta then maybe we can get the “no show, grandstanding, publicity stunt, disrespectful, he doesn’t care about the fans” crap out of the way as quickly as we can and let’s move on. No one’s taking the ball and going home. Don’t get it twisted. For more than a decade and a half we’ve endured the double standards, the greed of this industry and the ever present seemingly limitless supply of wannabes and unscrupulous, irresponsible media types. Not to imply anything in this particular circumstance, but from my perspective in regard to both the Hall and a reunion, the ball’s never been in our court.

In closing, regardless of this decision and as hard to believe or as ironic as it may seem, I’d like to sincerely thank the board for their nomination and their votes for Guns’ induction. More importantly I’d like to thank the fans for being there over the years, making any success we’ve had possible and for enjoying and supporting Guns N’ Roses music.

I wish the Hall a great show, congratulations to all the other artists being inducted and to our fans we look forward to seeing you on tour!!

Sincerely,

Axl Rose

P.S. RIP Armand, Long Live ABC III

Bush Launches 60 Shows 60 Days 60 Pair of Tickets Contest

By drainu182 , Tags :


BUSH has announced a contest called “60 Shows * 60 Days * 60 Pairs of Tickets,” a unique promotion that will see lead vocalist Gavin Rossdale personally giving away a pair of tickets to nearly every date on the band’s upcoming spring and summer tour, including their arena dates with Nickelback, Seether and My Darkest Days.

The contest begins today, a day before the launch of BUSH’s arena tour as special guests of Nickelback at the i wireless Center in Moline, IL.

Here’s how it works: Each morning at 9am PST, Gavin will announce a particular date/city/show via his Twitter account, @gavinrossdale. Contest hopefuls must visit http://bush.promojam.com/Bush60tix and re-tweet the message from the official contest using the hash tag #Bush60tix. Gavin will then pick a winner and tweet the name at 3PM PST that same day.

The contest follows news of BUSH contributing a new song (“Into The Blue”) to the upcoming “Avengers Assemble” soundtrack, due out May 1st and sets up a busy week for the band, with the tour launch followed by an April 17th performance on the Daytime Emmy Award-winning talk show, “The View,” an April 18th performance on Vh1’s “Big Morning Buzz Live,” and a much-buzzed-about April 19th show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Following their U.S. tour, BUSH will launch a European headline and festival tour, which kicks off August 10 at Germany’s Open Air Festival and runs through September 8th.

BUSH recently released “Baby Come Home,” the second single from their acclaimed album THE SEA OF MEMORIES. The song follows the album’s blockbuster lead single, “The Sound of Winter,” which made radio history as the first self-released track ever to hit No. 1 on the Alternative Radio Chart, where it stayed for six weeks.

Electric Guest Reveal New Songs Through Puzzles On New Website

By drainu182 , Tags :


Electric Guest a/k/a Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton have just finished up a successful run of live dates including a grand slam slew of performances at this year’s SXSW. Now, as the countdown to the April 24th release of their debut LP Mondo (Downtown Records) begins, the band have revealed a brand new website; an interactive puzzle which once completed unlocks streams of non-LP bonus track “Jenny” and an acoustic version of their first single “This Head I Hold”. Point your browsers to www.electricguest.com to take a stab at unlocking these two aural pleasures.

The album version of the single debuted at #38 last week on the Alternative Radio Charts and is gaining spins by the minute.

Critics took notice of Electric Guest as they made their first visit to Austin’s SXSW where they played several showcases including Filter Magazine’s party and the Third Man Records Texas Stand-Off. The Austin Chronicle predicted “most eyes will be on Electric Guest,” and The Los Angeles Times said “singer Asa Taccone graces the songs with a romantic falsetto,” while Billboard picked up on their “electro-pop flair” citing them as on of the “Top 20 Breakout Bands” at SXSW. Be sure to catch the duo’s rousing live show as they kick off the second leg of their U.S. tour in Visalia, CA on April 10th.

John Mayer Takes A Break From Performing Live

By drainu182 , Tags :


Seven-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician John Mayer has canceled his recently announced U.S. tour and will take an indefinite hiatus from live performing due to the return of the granuloma in his throat. Mayer was treated for the same condition and placed on extensive vocal rest in 2011. The 18-city tour was to be his first in the United States in two years. Ticket purchasers should refer to their point of purchase for refund details.

His new album Born and Raised will be released as planned by Columbia Records on May 22, 2012. The album’s first single—“Shadow Days”—debuted March 5 and is available on iTunes.

“Nothing feels worse than having to break the stage down before the performance, and I mean nothing. I love this band you were going to hear, I love the guys and girls I work with, and the only thing that stops me from devolving into a puddle of tears is knowing that it’s a long life, and the greatest gift in the world is being able to create music no matter what the circumstances,” wrote Mayer to fans via his tumblr blog earlier today.

Canceled concert appearances include:

Thursday, March 15: Oklahoma City; Global Events Center at Winstar World Resort

Friday, March 16: Oklahoma City; Global Events Center at Winstar World Resort

Monday, April 9: Bloomington, IN; the IU Auditorium

By drainu182 , Tags :

SLASH has released “You’re A Lie” to radio today worldwide. The hard-charging song marks the first single off the iconic, Grammy-winning rock guitarist and songwriter’s forthcoming second studio album APOCALYPTIC LOVE. Listen to a 30 second preview of the song here: http://www.slashonline.com/. “You’re A Lie” is the second song I brought to the band in 2011 during the last tour,” explains SLASH. “We worked on it at soundcheck somewhere, I can’t remember where. It’s gone through some minor changes along the way, mainly the chorus. But for the most part, it’s remained true to its original arrangement. I can’t wait to play this live.”

APOCALYPTIC LOVE features Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators and will be released May 22 on SLASH’s own label Dik Hayd International that’s distributed through EMI. The group will launch a headlining U.S. tour May 3 in Baltimore, tickets for which are available now on http://www.slashonline.com/. See dates below.

On APOCALYPTIC LOVE, SLASH and his bandmates Myles Kennedy (vocals), Brent Fitz (drums) and Todd Kerns (bass) have teamed with producer Eric Valentine, who also produced the Slash disc. All the songs were written together by SLASH and Kennedy and cameras have been rolling throughout the entire making of the new album. Check out all four exclusive behind-the-scenes episodes airing weekly at:

Episode 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntisV8dT7AQ&feature=player_embedded

APOCALYPTIC LOVE will follow his 2010 debut album Slash and his November 2011 first-ever live solo album, the two-CD/DVD set Made In Stoke 24/7/11. Notably, the Slash album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at #3 (#1 on the Rock chart, #1 on the Independent chart, and #1 on the Hard Music chart).

Far East Movement Release “Live My Life” ft. Justin Bieber

By drainu182 , Tags : ,


Produced by RedOne and featuring Justin Bieber, Far East Movement’s (aka FM) “Live My Life” exploded onto radio today and will be available on iTunes and digital retailers this Tuesday, February 28. The monumental track, which has an additional Party Rock remix version with Redfoo of LMFAO, will follow the Dirty Bass appetizer “Jello” that FM performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live SuperBowl Concert series earlier this month. A “Live My Life” music video will be filmed in the coming weeks and both songs will be released on their highly anticipated sophomore album Dirty Bass via Cherrytree/Interscope Records this spring.

“We’re thrilled to have Justin be a part of Dirty Bass, exclaims Kev Nish.” “FM has always focused on unexpected collaborations and mashing up musical genres which keeps making music exciting. ‘Live My Life,’ is a song we think both FM and Bieber fans will enjoy together.”

FM is currently touring the world while working hard to finish up Dirty Bass. They started to develop the album’s sound while on the I Am Music tour with Lil Wayne last summer. They are finishing the album on the Canadian and European Cherrytree Pop Alternative tour with LMFAO while radio airwaves continue to play their worldwide smash singles “Like A G6″ and “Rocketeer.”

“We’ve been performing the “Live My Life” Party Rock remix with Redfoo on the CherryTree Pop Alternative tour and the reaction has been met with hands in the air and hype energy, declares Prohgress. “We’re looking forward to the song at radio and everybody partying wherever they’re listening.”

Dirty Bass has a dynamic universal party sound that brings elements of booming trunk bass to the dancefloor. Far East Movement shaped and co-produced the sound with The Stereotypes and assistance from the above-mentioned RedOne along with other chart-topping producers Bangladesh, Dallas Austin and Cherry Cherry Boom Boom.

More exciting collaborations on Far East Movement’s Dirty Bass will be announced soon.
