Pact Arrest was "Bullsh*t" |
punkbands reports: More details have come
out regarding the recent incident which saw half of the Blackout Pact arrested
and locked up by Indianapolis police officers. According to a local report:
Seth Piracci, 25, was jailed on preliminary charges of criminal mischief
and furnishing alcohol to a minor. Wisam Alshabi, 21, faces the same charges.
The band responded:
Basically, this is all bullsh*t, we didnt
buy alcohol for anybody, and all that happened is we went to sleep and
woke up with coppers dragging us around. We are really f**king sorry about
the fact that we have had to cancel two shows, but we are in Lancaster
right now, ready as ever. The shows continue, the band continues. No worries.

The Boss at Record Stores |
antiMusic reports: Have American rock fans
fired the Boss? Critical darling Bruce Springsteen only managed a third
place finish on the Billboard charts this week after selling 145,000 copies
of his new album, "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions". A number that
isn't anything to sneeze at. But which two artists beat the Boss at his
own game? Godsmack topped the chart after selling 211,000 copies of "IV"
and Taking Back Sunday denied Springsteen second place by moving 156,000
copies of their new one "Louder Now". Of course, Bruce is still the boss
at concert venues and will likely outsell both bands easily, especially
since his ticket prices are almost four times higher than TBS and judging
by the Canadian show prices, twice as expensive as Godsmack tickets. So
at least the Boss still gets paid more. - Click

Sandy Bringing Back Rock N Roll |
conqueroo reports: From the very first song
on Big Sandy & the Fly-Rite Boys's forthcoming Turntable Matinee album,
you know where this journey is headed. "Drop the needle in the groove and
start to move," he sings in the lead track, "The Power of the 45, Part
1," a spitcurl rockabilly number in which Sandy cites many of his influences
by name: Little Junior Parker, Lazy Lester, Johnny "Guitar" Watson and
Ronnie Dawson.
The new album, Big Sandy's eleventh, which
ships July 11 on Yep Roc Records, also features the Western swing of "(Yes)
I Feel Sorry for You" to the old-time country of "Lonesome Dollar," the
Stax-style Memphis soul sendup "Slipping Away" and the bossa nova "Spanish
Dagger.[see full story for more]- Click

Dowd Set US Release |
conqueroo reports: American original Johnny
Dowd completes 'Cruel Words,' Set For July 4 Release. Guests include the
Mekons' Sally Timms & Jon Langford. Following a very successful European
tour, Johnny is set to swing through the U.S. and Canada starting in late
July.
Johnny Dowd is an American original, his
vision distilled from the raw detritus of primal rock'n'roll, free jazz,
swamp blues and greasy funk - all anchored by a voice channeling Johnny
Cash through Chet Baker. Cruel Words, his sixth album and second for Bongo
Beat Records, follows a trajectory set in motion by the self-released Wrong
Side of Memphis in 1998. [see full story for more]- Click
