Vs Kennedys |
punkbands reports: Former Dead Kennedys frontperson
Jello Biafra has publicly commented on the upcoming "Fab Mab Class Reunion"
featuring the Dead Kennedys, Flipper, The Avengers, The Mutants, and MC
Dirk Dirksen at the Fillmore in San Francisco.
Enough people are confused [that] we need
to set the record straight. No, it is not a Dead Kennedys reunion. Yes,
I am boycotting the whole scam. These are the same greed-mongers who ran
to corporate lawyers and sued me for over six years in a dispute sparked
by my not wanting "Holiday in Cambodia" sold into a Levi's commercial.
They now pimp Dead Kennedys in the same spirit as Mike Love suing Brian
Wilson over and over again, then turning around and playing shows as the
Beach Boys. They despise everything our band ever stood for. [see full

second guitar but also because me and Beattie started this band as a 5
piece and feel like it's an integral part of our sound and vision." [see

Kearney Goes Major |
Buzztone reports: Sony Music will release
Mat Kearney major label debut "Nothing Left To Lose," on April 18th 2006.
After three years of musical growth, Kearney decided it was finally time
to record an album, and he licensed his self-financed project, Bullet¸
to indie label Inpop Records. Kearney's initial instincts about the natural
course of his career were spot on: over the past year, he has sold over
30,000 copies of Bullet in the Christian market. Within a few months of
the release of his independent record, Mat inked a deal with Aware/Columbia
to release his major-label debut. Nothing Left To Lose is an album that
melds Kearney's emotionally mature lyrics with a breadth of musical styles.
Written to make sense of his life, this sensational work looks at the past
to see the future. The album's sprawling diversity, from the melodic hooks
and pop sensibilities of the title track to the enchanting beats of "Undeniable,"
reflects Kearney's confidence and emotional range. The songs move fluently
from the poetic meditations of folk to the embraceable openness of pop
to acoustic moments backed by hip-hop rhythms. This distinctive artist
is certainly poised to become one of the year's finest songwriters, and
this release will breakthrough and truly resonate in the hearts of all
its listeners. [see full story for more including tour dates]-
