Touring |
thetripwire reports: Indie rock hottie Sufjan
Stevens has just announced a string of tour dates in September and October.
Sufjan is bringing with him a string ensemble and a brass section for this
trek in an effort to present familiar songs from Seven Swans, Michigan
and Illinois in a new, symphonic context (that what it says in the press
release at least). He'll also be performing five or six new songs along
the way.
Providing support for the entire tour will
be My Brightest Diamond (a.k.a. singer/songwriter Shara Worden). MBD's
debut album, Bring Me The Workhourse, will be released on August 22 via
Asthmatic Kitty. [see full story for dates]- Click

| Summer
All Ours |
Stella Brown reports: Dying to see Ours perform
live? Brood not, as Ours keeps announcing shows, albeit scattered in date,
venue, and timing. I caught the band in Boston back in April, when they
opened for Dredg's post-Taste-of-Chaos tour. Ours played a seven-song set
that was just a tease- but bursting with power, emotion, and kicked out
by a tight new band line-up. Ours followed that successful pairing with
their own headliner summer tour, giving fans longer sets that showcased
several of the latest compositions from Jimmy Gnecco's substantial catalogue
of unreleased songs.
Rumors abound about the release of the
third album, over four years in the making. What tracks will be on it?
When will it be in stores? What is it titled? But why hurry pushing out
a product when Jimmy is so obviously enjoying the creative process? Jimmy
has treated his fans to two new songs, "Get Up," and "Willing" and noted
that the former will be on the anticipated third release. The latter should
be given serious consideration for release as a single. [see full story

of the Scandinavian Death Metal sound. Nearly two decades into a respected
career, the band still is as fresh and vital today. The God That Never

a finely-ground assault that commands attention.[see full story for dates]-

will host the premiere of Jessica Simpson's fans-only video for her latest
single, "A Public Affair." As part of the music site's "Get Your Freak
On" program, the video features entrants from Yahoo! Music's user-generated

to Simpson's new song. Inspired by a night out on the town with her girlfriends,
the catchy tune is scheduled to appear on the multi-platinum recording
artist's fourth studio album, A Public Affair, which will be released later
this summer.[see full story for that]- Click

| Kaki
King Felt Red |
PR reports: Kaki King has never been one for
convention. Her third album, ...Until We Felt Red, is certainly no exception.
Over the last few years, she has enjoyed well-earned status as the zeit-girl
of instrumental acoustic guitar; a gifted young ingénue closing
rank on the canonized heroes of the genre. Now, with ...Until We Felt Red,
she bests herself and defies expectation again-ditching her acoustic for
an electric, lap steel and perhaps, the most unexpected instrument of all:
her own voice.
Having recently been emancipated from a
recording contract with Epic Records, King made ...Until We Felt Red on
her own terms (and dime), dropping off a near-finished master on the desk
of her surprised (and elated) management team/label, Velour. King's return
to her original, indie-label home feels like a good thing for all. "Kaki
is one of those artists where the best thing you can do, from an A&R
perspective, is to just let her go off and make some brilliant art," says
manager Jeff Krasno, adding, "not that she would let it happen any other
way."[see full story for tour dates]- Click

| Bananiversary |
PR reports: Hard though it may be to believe,
it's been 5 full years since rock & roll comic C.C. Banana was set
loose upon an unsuspecting scene. On the fateful afternoon of July 6, 2001
an ordinary man gave way to become an extraordinary fruit. Donning a tattered
old banana costume and inexplicably choosing to lampoon Poison guitarist
C.C. DeVille, the newly christened C.C. Banana would soon make fast friends
with the hard rock elite. This July, C.C. Banana commemorates 5 years of
rock & roll irreverence with the appropriately named Bananiversary
Celebration, a 5-star salute to the fabulous fruit. Throughout the month-long
event, C.C. will issue a series of new interviews with some of his favorite
hard rock heroes, the identities of whom are being withheld until publication.
Additionally, the official C.C. Banana website has been updated with dozens
of new and archived features, including interviews with the members of
Cinderella, Ratt, Quiet Riot, FireHouse, Warrant, L.A. Guns, W.A.S.P. and
Metal Church. To further commemorate this personal milestone, C.C. Banana
has arranged a string of live, radio and podcast appearances, details of
which can be found in his weblog. Additional information about C.C. Banana
and the Bananiversary Celebration is available at CCBanana.com.-
