punkbands reports: As Cities Burn has announced
that they will no longer be a band. They posted this on their Myspace:
"We know there are rumors floating around about the future of as cities
burn, so we wanted to clear things up. TJ is getting married this fall,
and has decided to settle down, and begin life off of the road with his
wife. he encouraged us to replace him, and continue with someone new in
his place, but we have all decided that this band would not be the same
without him. as cities burn was built on the personalities, work, and ideals
of the five of us, and simply replacing a member would leave a void that
would be impossible to fill. so we, as a band, have decided to end as cities
burn.[see full story for more]- Click

Off |
Blabbermouth reports: Former KISS/current
GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist Bruce Kulick has posted a lengthy update
on his official web site. A couple of excerpts from his posting follow:
I was proud to see KISS so prominently
featured as the 'headliner' of the 'VH1 Rock Honors' show. For the record,
I was not asked to participate and, truth be told, in the world of make-up-only
KISS I am not sure how I could quite fit in. It would have been great to
jam with Ace [Frehley], but I watched the show from my home. My comments...
Happy for Ace to be out there with his 'Revenge'-style goatee jamming out
on his Blue Sparkle Les Paul, Eric [Singer] and Tommy [Thayer] for kicking
some serious rock butt, Gene [Simmons] for spitting and gyrating like a
25-year-old horny beast, and Paul [Stanley] for singing up a storm. KISS's
pyro and bombs were over-the-top amazing and I sat watching in awe saying
to myself, 'I used to play with this band! Wow!'"[see full story for to
