Strike Back: Ozzfest Refund? |
siN's metal news reports: IRON MAIDEN manager
Rod Smallwood has left the following message on the band's official website:
....I find it staggering that this ambush would take place in front of
any audience, let alone in San Bernardino, the biggest audience of the
tour. Didn't that audience merit any consideration? They pay an awful lot
to be there in terms of prices for tickets, parking, food, beer etc. Surely
if they spend this sort of money they deserve to watch the bands they paid
to see be able to put in a full unhindered performance. Free of danger
and intimidation. If I had paid I would ask for my money back!
And this audience really were outstanding,
giving the band incredible support and many voting with their feet in disgust
after the set and the speech, which to many was the final insult.
... We will have no more to say on this
matter except that l do think the band deserve an apology from a number
of people, and you know who you are. [we only printed a small part here,

| Tremolo
TV! |
press release reports: Oakland, CA-based Tremolo
is confirmed to be featured on this week's "What's Next!" show, which is
produced by A&E Networks. The show is scheduled to air on Thursday,
August 25th, on The Biography Channel at 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. eastern time,
and 8 p.m. and 12 a.m. pacific time. "What's Next!" is a half-hour-long,
weekly magazine style show, shot in A&E's studio in New York for The
Biography Channel. Every Thursday evening, the show's host, Kelly Deadmon,
introduces viewers to the latest releases in entertainment. Tremolo's album,
"Love Is The Greatest Revenge," will be featured this week.
"Love Is The Greatest Revenge" was released
on August 9th by Flagship Recordings with national distribution via Fontana.
The concept of praxis (what happens when people extend themselves to do
good and how their capacity to do good increases because of it) prompted
Dillon to do something radical with Tremolo's first full-length album release.
Fifty percent of all of the record royalties due to Tremolo will be funneled
into a benevolence trust fund. It will be called the Love>Revenge Fund.
Says Dillon, "The people who buy the record will control this fund. They
will, in fact, be the Board of Trustees. They will decide where the money
goes based on how they would like to see the world change for the better."
Through online voting and forums, fans will be able to decide where the
trust fund money they contributed via record purchase will go - be it cancer
research, tsunami relief, AIDS hospice, anti-slavery operations, or the
charity of their choice. [It really is a great CD, we'll have a review
on anti shortly but for now click the full story link to check out more
