HAPPY
MOTHER'S DAY! I hope everyone remembered to wish their mom a Happy
Mother's Day!!
Deerhunter
& Nine
Inch Nails? AntiMusic reports: No one goes to a Nine
Inch Nails concert to see the support act (unless the lead singer
happens to named Maynard), but just in case you need that little
extra push over the cliff to convince you to head and out and
see Trent and boys on their summer tour of North America, they
have announced the laundry list of bands that will joining them
on the outing. Crystal Castles will kick off the tour and play
through Aug 2nd. NIN will make a quick detour and play Lollapalooza,
but then will be joined by Deerhunter from Aug 5th - 13th, A Place
To Bury Strangers join-up on the 15th for a four date run. Does
It Offend You, Yeah? will play from Aug 22 - 29th. Then on Sep
2nd Deerhunter will jump back on the tour and ride it out until
the end, which right now looks like it will end with a newly announced
date at The Forum in Inglewood, CA on September 6th.
We're also supposed to be on the look out for a very special announcement
from the band on Monday (May 5th). We'll let you know what it
is as soon we know.

Broken
Machines' album is close to being done. They've got
6 songs mixed and ready for mastering (which shouldn't take too
long). They've got another 6 that have been primed for mixing,
so those songs should move along a little quicker. For some of
you, the release of the album, when it happens, will be long overdue.
LONG OVERDUE. They anticipate it should be done by the end of
the summer... that’s packaging, artwork, all that fancy
stuff. Now,
the big news. Broken Machines have been competing in a 5-Round
battle of the bands hosted by Emergenza. They've competed once
before but didn't make it past Round 2. They are going to ROUND
3!!! Details:Broken Machines @ Center Stage
Emergenza Competition - Round 3
Saturday, June 21st
Sometime between 8:00 and 10:00 (I'll explain this in a moment)
Tickets are $15 presale, $20 at the door
About the performance time, they won't know the exact time they
go on stage until the day of the show. The reason for this is
that the promoters/organizers of the event want to give all the
bands an opportunity to play to fans that other bands brought
to the show.

We
Are Kings have been busy lately rekording at spotlight
studios with producer Jason Andrews and are finally getting things
back together and on the road. There ae rumors about them breaking
up But I am assured that they are just rumors. They tell me they've
been through messes like this before and although they are STILL
looking for a bassist it won't stop them from continuing.
Ann
Bolynn have a guitarist. Chris Meyers, formally of
Faith In Arms, has joined the fold. They tell me they have been
writing like crazy and expect have a new album out soon. But...they
are still are not ready to plays shows yet.

There's been a lot of talk and questions about the
American Bad Ass Bar in Mooresville, NC. A kall waz made to the
NC ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) agent responsible for Mooresville
and we spoke to the city manager and sheriffs dept.The local authorities
knew nothing about such a bar being opened...which iz impossible
for a legitimate business...gotta have the right permits and approvals.The
ABC board has no license, or application, for American Bad ASS
or Jess Edwards (or Kennedy)? No license=no liquor=no bar.Sorry
to be the bearer of shitty newz.
