the following message on the band's web site explaining that the group
will be on hiatus for the rest of the year: Rather than tell all, all i'm

the members live in the same state, and currently everyone in the band
is focusing on other areas of their lives. God only knows what the future

experience. [see full story for more]- Click

Inspiration |
Reader Submitted reports: Ace Frehley is featured
in the March issue of Guitar World magazine. The new issue includes a short
interview withthe former Spaceman, which we already mentioned in our update
from January 13.
Part of the feature goes: What inspired
you to play guitar?
"I was raised in a musical household,
so I was surrounded by music all day. My parents played piano, and my brother
and sister played piano and folk guitar. My brother showed me a few chords
on his acoustic guitar. Then one day I visited a friend who had an electric
guitar and a small amp, and it changed my life. I held the guitar in my
hands, turned the volume up to 10 and hit the low E string, and the sound
just droned. I was hooked! It was like a heroin addict's first shot of
dope." [see full story for more]- Click

Jumpsuit Apparatus SxSW |
Virgin reports: It's hard to categorize youthful
new quintet The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, but it's damn fun trying. They're
just as capable of playing charged, melodic riffs and singing soaring harmonies
like the best pop bands, strumming plaintively and telling tales of woe
like your favorite emo outfit or screaming loud enough to shatter concrete
like a scorching metalcore group.
And whether they're tugging at the heartstrings
or going for the jugular, these Middleburg, Floridians know how to captivate
a crowd � as they'll prove at this year's South By Southwest festival,
where the band will be playing Blender Bar at The Ritz on March 15th. Then,
on May 6, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus will perform for an audience of thousands
at the Bamboozle Fest at Giants Stadium. They will also hit the road this
summer with the Warped Tour.[see full story for more]-
