Phish New Year's Shows |
Phish will perform three sets on the 31st, celebrating its first New Year's Eve show since the band's concert at the same venue in 2003. The group also rang in 2000 in Florida - Phish's Big Cypress show was the largest paid concert in the world on the eve of the millennium.
More than 40,000 fans turned out recently for Festival 8, held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA. Phish played eight sets over the course of the three-day event, which was the band's eighth festival and its first ever on the West Coast. Midway through the festivities, Phish revived its Halloween tradition of covering a classic album by another band, this time narrowing a selection of 99 records down to Exile on Main St., the Rolling Stones' seminal 1972 double album.

Backyard Tire Fire Set Release For Los Lobos Produced Album |
Good to Be is a culmination of guitarist/vocalist, Ed Anderson's thirteen year journey on the road of rock and roll. For the band's fifth full length release, Backyard Tire Fire delivers an album full of working-man songs that provide an upbeat, glass half full approach to life. Drawing on inspiration from everyday events, Anderson weaves his way through the fabric of life making a patchwork of eleven songs that bear the message of empathy, humanity and hope.
Over their eight year career as a band, Backyard Tire Fire has created a presence in the music world that is hard to ignore. The trio boasts an impressive roster of celebrity fans. Reverend Horton Heat's Jim Heath calls Backyard Tire Fire "one of the best and coolest bands out there." "My favorite band right now is Backyard Tire Fire and they sometimes remind me of early Wilco, Son Volt and Flaming Lips�they are my earworms these last few months," adds Johnny Hickman of Cracker.

Ultra Violent Lights Release Filthy Videos |
"The video for 'In Lieu Of Pay' uses animation to go along with this song," singer Nick Faiella explains. "It cuts between two streams of consciousness and how two people perceive the same situation. Young and old, right and wrong."
The album's title track "Here In Filth" captures a sense of being alone. "The video also depicts someone you can see but isn't physically there, going through the motions of life and not really fitting into any one scene," describes guitarist Adam Lewis. "The video starts with sharks chasing these fish, like something from the past that won't go away, drug abuse and hardships. Then it goes to our main character who is trying to fit in anywhere, with anyone, but can't because he's not really there."
Along with the remaining tracks of Here In Filth, Faiella and Lewis�with drummer Robi Gonalez�showcase the band's musical ambition and range of inspiration from rock'n'roll predecessors of past decades. Drawing comparisons to everything from Nirvana to Echo and the Bunnymen, Ultra Violent Lights layer sing-along melodies among raw, distorted rock. The entire album is now streaming at the band's website for a limited time.
