CD/Tour on the Way |
Rockdirt reports: Def Leppard's official web
site has been updated with a brand new interview with the group's frontman
Joe Elliott. Asked about the current status on 'Yeah!', the long-awaited
covers album and the subsequent tour, Elliott responded, "I think it's
still scheduled for release in May, so organizing promo might be starting
around March already. It's not gonna be full-on right away, but more like
a day here, a day there, a weekend here, a week there..... We're supposed
to be going out on the road in the summer, but keep in mind that there
are places where we can get too soon. For a band to play a town where they
just played some 4-6 months ago, you have got to be U2 or Green Day, for
people to want to see you again so soon.[see full story for more]-

| Rhett
Miller Release |
i.e. marketing reports: Verve Forecast is
proud to announce the release of Rhett Miller's second solo album, The
Believer, due in stores on February 28th 2006. A follow-up to the highly
acclaimed The Instigator, the new record is brimming with, as Blender said,
"knock 'em dead songs." Already widely-loved for his work as frontman and
main songwriter of the hard-charging rock 'n' roll quartet the Old 97's
(of which he is still a member), The Believer takes its predecessor's achievements
several steps further, with a dozen deeply felt, craftily melodic tunes
that demonstrate the Texas-bred artist's knack for using accessible songcraft
to address complex emotional issues.
"The songs on The Believer are about sex,
war, love and death...but mostly sex." Miller says. "Before going into
the studio, I thought I'd be making a punk rock Ziggy Stardust, but I wound
up with George Gershwin does T. Rex's The Slider."[see full story for more]-

hosting the album release party for their fiery and provocative new album
American Banned at San Francisco hotspot Bender's Bar March 11. But when
Gil, who switches effortlessly from sensitive crooner to screaming explorer
of the dark side, takes the stage there and on March 15 at Anaheim's House
of Blues, none of the people he works with on his day job will be showing
up.

vocals), Doug Aldrich (guitars), Reb Beach (guitars) Timothy Drury (keyboards),
Uriah Duffy (bass), Tommy Aldridge (drums)
Legendary front man David Coverdale is
bringing Whitesnake back to the UK in 2006 with an entirely new rock'n'roll
show that reflects his outstanding 30-year multi-platinum career. With
their blend of hard rock, soul, blues, and balladry, a healthy dose of
priapic posturing and good time fun, Whitesnake is pretty much on it's
own in today's grim, unsmiling music climate.[see full story for more]-
