Nine Inch Nails to stop touring for a while?

By

on December 12, 2008 9:44 AM |
Nine Inch Nails has had at least a couple prolific years since 2005's With Teeth, so it's understandable if they want to take a breather for a bit (penchant for surprise-album releases notwithstanding). Frontman Trent Reznor revealed that they'll probably be doing just that, following the conclusion of next year's Australian tour.

You don't have to be a hip-hopper to be an ATLien. Sure, the jewel of the south may be famous for liking its beat down low and its top laid back, but there's a host of weird and wonderful post-punksters and power-poppers brimming in the galleries and dive bars of Atlanta. Take the Black Lips: after 2007s widely-acclaimed Good Bad Not Evil, this coming Spring will see the release of follow-up LP 200 Million Thousand.

The Killers tap M83 as opening act for Winter tour

There is a rich and storied tradition of big-name, stadium-filling rock acts plucking a critical darling up from the minor leagues to open their shows. It's a win-win, of course: the big guys score some artistic cred, while the smaller guys gain some much-needed exposure.

Lil Wayne unveils "I Am Music" tour

By

on December 2, 2008 10:46 AM |
Lil Wayne has steadily been doing some under-the-radar maneuvering: first the dude says that he's the best rapper alive, then he IS hip-hop, and now he's got the chutzpah to straight up declare he's music itself. Weezy F Baby is apparently dead serious about every single one of those tattoos, because he just spilled the beans about the "I Am Music" tour in support of multiplatinum monster Tha Carter III.

Passion Pit readies 2009 tour, announces remix contest

By
Jeremy Medina

photo by Elizabeth Weinberg
File it away: the Cambridge, Mass. electro-pop rockers Passion Pit are poised to be one of 2009's biggest breakout bands. Back in August, the five-piece troupe released its EP, Chunk of Change, which features the jubilant single "Sleepyhead," a song more infectious than the common cold. Think MGMT, but multiply its main ingredients (synths, catchy hooks, falsetto, hand claps) to the nth degree, and add an intro from Jack Kerouac and incomprehensible auto-tuned background vocals. Confused? Just listen (below).

Lykke Li tour machine returns to North America in 2009

By

As Sara Miller revealed in our Artist of the Week primer on Lykke Li, the Swedish singer landed one of her first North American shows by convincing a New York booking agent that she was a big celebrity in her homeland. It was a sly bit of subterfuge, since practically no one, Swedish or otherwise, had heard her music at the time.

Black Keys guitarist cuts solo album, tours

There have to be some underlying anxiety issues for every drummer out there who plays in a rock duo:

"What if my bandmate replaces me with a drum machine and cuts me out of the royalties? Is he still angry that I flubbed that fill in San Antonio? Maybe if I'm really nice to him for the rest of the tour..."
