by Leave a Comment

Bowling For Soup
Bowling For Soup is hitting the road in the UK this weekend, with the Party In Your Pants UK Tour kicking off at Glasgow Academy on October 17th. Eleven shows are to be played in total, with the tour ultimately ending at London Roundhouse on October 29th.

The ‘Sorry For Partyin’ studio album was released this week, and this tour will therefore provide a fantastic opportunity to hear the new material on the live circuit. It’s the band’s tenth album to date, and you can also expect to hear some of your favourites from the previous albums played on the tour as well.

After finishing in the UK the band is then off to Japan and Australia before heading back to the States, let’s not worry about that just yet though; let’s just focus on Bowling For Soup’s UK tour for now, and I’m sure that if you’re heading along to any of these eleven dates then you’ll therefore be in for a night to remember.

Rammstein Release Porn Video for New Single ‘Pussy’

by Leave a Comment

rammstein-logoRammstein has put together a seriously attention grabbing video for new single ‘Pussy’, a hardcore porn video in fact. Starting out as a reasonably provocative music video, ‘Pussy’ gets increasingly more explicit as it progresses, ultimately going on to show off scenes of a full-on hardcore porn nature.

Rammstein is a band well aware of the fact that controversy creates cash, and the ‘Pussy’ video is one that is sure to cause quite a stir.

Jay-Z Alexandra Palace Show Sells Out in 15 Seconds

by Leave a Comment

Jay-Z broke his own record today as tickets sold out in just 15 seconds for his Alexandra Palace show on November 4th. Jay-Z last month left people stunned as his London Roundhouse show sold out in 20 seconds, he’s only gone and done it again just several weeks later though, and has now set an even more impressive record.

Jay-Z’s latest studio album ‘The Blueprint 3’ has already racked up worldwide sales in excess of one million since its release on September 8th 2009, and his current UK popularity is demonstrated in the fact that three of his singles presently sit within the Official UK Top 40, two of which are in the top six (‘Empire State of Mind’ feat. Alicia Keys is Number 2, ‘Run This Town’ feat. Rihanna and Kanye West is Number 6, and ‘Young Forever’ featuring Mr. Hudson right now sits at Number 40).

Canadian Singer Rhea Joins N.E.R.D

Canadian singer Rhea has officially joined N.E.R.D for work on the next studio album, and will also feature in the band’s future live shows.

Pharrell Williams has boasted that Rhea’s voice will add a whole new level to the music, stating that with Rea onboard “Musically, we’re just somewhere else. The music is now very 3D. It’s something you have to hear. But you’ll see.”

Pharrell went on to say that “The music is very three-dimensional. We’re just really excited. We feel like N.E.R.D has always been the punks of hip-hop and the outcasts of alternative music – just a little different. But this time, we’re taking no prisoners.”

N.E.R.D will release fourth studio album ‘Instant Gratification’ in 2010, and Rhea is to be an integral part of the band’s future sound.
