| Black
Dahlia Movie |
siN's metal news reports: In an interview
with Trevor Strnad of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, it was revealed to SMNnews
that the band will in fact be contributing to the soundtrack to the movie
bearing a similar title to their band name. Currently being directed by
Brian De Palma (SCARFACE), and set for release in 2006, "The Black Dahlia"
stars Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank, and others. The
film is an adaptation of James Ellroy's 1940s-set novel about two Los Angeles
cops who head up the hunt for the killer of fledgling actress Elizabeth
Short. Strnad commented, "Yeah actually, we were contacted about being
used for the soundtrack. That case man, people are going to be obsessed
with it forever."[see full story for the full interview]-

| BNS
Drop Tour |
siN's metal news reports: Following suit with
SOCIETY 1, Century Media's BRAND NEW SIN have also dropped off the SCUM
OF THE EARTH tour. Drummer Kevin Dean submitted the following band update:
"We apologize for the sudden change in
the tour - BRAND NEW SIN is home in Syracuse.
The beginning of the tour served us well
with decent promotion and familiar BNS hot spots (Token Lounge, Lincoln
Theater, Jaxx etc.) I must say that Chicago was one of my all time favorite
shows! If you follow the tour dates, however, routing and budget do not
dance well together in this musical; especially if shows are cancelled.
Four total - two of which were on our way to CA. Good promoters are hard
to come by. I say that at the risk of insulting anyone we met in the past
5 weeks. The fact remains that we're killing ourselves every night, pouring
our hearts out and showing up the next night (which could be 10 hours away)
to find a marquee that reads, "SCUM OF THE EARTH and SOCIETY 1". [see full

| Floyd
Score |
MVd reports: Eclectic DVD and Basho Records
are pleased to announce the home viewing release of The Committee for US
distribution on DVD.
The Committee, starring Paul Jones of Manfred
Mann fame, is a unique and controversial document of Britain in the 1960s.
Avoiding easy answers, The Committee uses a surreal murder to explore the
tension and conflict between bureaucracy on one side, and individual freedom
on the other. Unlike many films of the era that vilified the state as repressive,
The Committee also explores the inherent weakness of the individual. Writer
and producer Max Steuer and director Peter Syke's complex vision is presented
with creative and often bizarre techniques, placing this film firmly within
the 60's psychedelic movement.
The musical score is a major element of
this film. Written and performed by the Pink Floyd, the soundtrack is some
of the most intellectual music Pink Floyd has ever produced, according
to music writer David King. This music has never before been released on
any format, and is a must for all Floyd fanatics. Also featured in the
movie is Arthur Brown performing his hit Fire. [see full story for more]-

Karat Montrose |
press release reports: Collectors around the
world covet the 24 Karat gold discs and there is one available now, that
will have rock fans and audiophiles alike licking their chops. The classic
rock-metal self-titled Montrose album. Preceding the Montrose release the
series kicked off with the Doobie Brothers Minute By Minute and the Faces
A Nod Is As Good As A Wink.
The buzz has already started in rock circles.
Once people hear the meaty Montrose power chords pounding through their
speakers and Sammy Hagar singing lines from "Rock Candy" like "You're rock
candy baby, hot sweet and sticky" again, this classic rock album will most
certainly relive all the success it experienced when it was released in
1973.[see full story for more]- Click

concert in 1985 was held in Champaign/Urbana Illinois on the campus of
the University of Illinois Not at the World Music Theature in Tinly Park.
That venue did not open until 1989. - Click

of Chevelle |
Chevelle Inc(fan submitted) reports: CHEVELLE'S
STATEMENT ON THE DEPARTURE OF BASSIST JOE LOEFFLER
"We've spent 10 great years building Chevelle,
but irreconcilable differences have led to an unfortunate parting of ways
between Joe and the band. Chevelle will return to the road for a string
of summer shows, to be followed by writing sessions for a new album. Thanks
to all of our fans, friends and family for their continued love and support.
We look forward to seeing all of you on tour. Adds Joe Loeffler, "This
will be positive for me and my brothers. I'm looking forward to all of
the new opportunities this will make available to me."
