The Production Side

I just read that Rage Against The Machine and the Foo Fighters will be headlining this year’s Pinkpop Festival in Holland.
The legendary festival will take place on May 30-31 and June 1.
You lucky Europeans getting another killer festival.
Until then, the reunited Rage Against The Machine will be hitting the road down under at the Big Day Out Festival; while the Foo Fighters are currently out promoting their fantastic new album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.

South Jersey is buzzing with the huge announcement of the Vineland Music Festival.
Word on the street was that Philly was going to get it’s own festival; but the city didn’t pass it, so Vineland received the honor instead.
The three day event will take place on August 8-10, 2008 and will be brought to us by Festival Republic (who puts on the legendary Leeds and Reading Festivals) and C3 (who do Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits Festival). Needless to say, we’re in good company.
I can’t wait to see the line up, but I’m betting that it will be a good one. …read more

Radiohead’s manager, Bryce Edge, recently told Billboard that the band is planning a world tour next year.
The band plans to kick off touring in May and will probably run through the rest of 2008. However, Edge went on to state that frontman Thom Yorke isn’t that fond of touring. Bryce stated: “He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping round the world is not top of his favourite things to do,” he said. “It’s the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck. They’re not road dogs. They never have been”.
Honestly, I …read more

Hey Baltimore…Black Market Radio is taking over your city this weekend!
BMR is a great band from New York City, fronted by Chris Cornell’s brother Peter. But even if they weren’t fronted by a Cornell, they would still rock. So make sure you check these guys out.
They’ll be doing some radio performances and a show this Sunday at Fletchers.
BMR will then head back home and perform in Brooklyn at Southpaw on October 26, for those of you that live in the Big Apple.
