Pearl Jam are making progress on their new album, and it will feature a contribution from Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger. How do we know his? Well, for one thing, the axeman tweeted a photo of himself, his lady love and the one and only Eddie Vedder, frontman for PJ, revealing that he is "recording strings" for the new platter. That's just about all the proof we need that stuff is happening.
Dave Grohl and his Sound City Players hit SXSW 2013 last night (March 14), playing to a packed house at Stubb's BBQ in Austin. Grohl warned those badgeholders and attendees lucky enough to get into the show that it was going to be a long night, but we doubt anyone was too bummed about the prospect of a marathon set with Grohl at the helm. The show was one of the hottest tickets of the festival so far.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs offered up a mix of old and new material at their SXSW 2013 show last night (March 13.) The fabulous Karen O and her crew took over Stubb's BBQ at the NPR showcase, sprinkling in teasers from the forthcoming album 'Mosquito,' such as 'Sacrilege,' 'Subway' and the title track, among the classics.
The Flaming Lips and Wayne Coyne haven’t conquered Broadway … yet.

Smashing Pumpkins will spend the next several months on a world tour that includes headline dates and festival appearances sprinkled all over the globe, the band announced today.

A new supergroup is in the works, Rolling Stone reports, and it features Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan and onetime Screaming Trees' drummer Barrett Martin. The as-yet-unnamed unit still needs a vocalist, but the search is on for singers to help them crystallize their ideas and form some new ones.
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong went to rehab smack dab in the middle of the band's release schedule for its trio of albums '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tré!' You know it must have been bad for him to have pulled out of promoting and supporting the trilogy. Turns it was bad. Really bad.
The babe in the Buffalo Wild Wings 'Slo Mo' commercial is the woman of your dreams, simply because she makes them come true.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman and guitarist Billy Corgan is a lifelong wrestling fan, and rather than love it from a distance, as most fans would, the rocker has launched his own Resistance Pro Wrestling promotion company. To further demonstrate his love for the entertainment sport, and for his native city, Corgan appears in a wrestling-themed commercial for the Chicago furniture store Walter E. Smithe's.
