GREEN DAY GETS ROCKED

Green Day has inked an exclusive deal, lending three new tracks, 21 Guns, Know Your Enemy and East Jesus Nowhere to Rock Band. This is the first time the band has lent any of their works to a participatory music game. Previously fans have been forced to create hacked versions of Green Day songs to add them to versions of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, a practice that is not encouraged by gamers, developers and copyright owners.Other new and classic Green Day tracks will be announced over the coming months. Green Day Rock Band is due to be released in the US July 7 on Xbox and Playstation consoles.

BILLY JOE ARRESTED FOR DUI


Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was arrested early Sunday in Berkeley, California, for driving under the influence.

The punk-rocker was pulled over just before 1 a.m. after authorities spotted his black BMW convertible speeding, according to Berkeley Police spokesperson Mary Kusmiss.

After Armstrong failed sobriety and Breathalyzer tests, he was taken to jail and booked for misdemeanor drunk driving. He was released later that morning on $1,200 bail and will be arraigned later this month.

HOW DID I MISS THIS?

As you all know, I have an affection for Colin Meloy and The Decemberists, and yesterday at work (during my "downtime"), I was googling around and found something quite surprising to me and I became very excited. I, being the music follower I am, am shocked and surprised that I missed this completely. "The Crane Wife" is not only the title of The Decemberist's 2006 release, but it is a three part lyrical story documented on this album, and is simply genius! So, back to my discovery. I found that the legendary Rocker/Singer/Songwriter Marianne Faithfull did a cover of 'The Crane Wife pt. 3' and not only recorded it with Nick Drake on her latest album "Easy Come, Easy Go", but performed it live on David Letterman. Check out the live performance below and go download it on iTunes!

KCRW WELCOMES THE CHURCH



Listen to The Church live on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Untitled #23 is the latest project from The Church.

NOT SO SICK OF SARAH!


Last Friday @ The Roxy in Hollywood, Minneapolis' all girl rock -n- roller's "Sick of Sarah" but on an electrifying performance; promoting their latest EP 'The Best Thing' which dropped May 18th. This was just one stop on their US tour, hitting several cities, so keep your eyes peeled! Working in music and art, I have to say that Minneapolis is becoming a hub of great things, so we should be prepared to see some amazing things coming from this progressive city!



Not only did this quintet of scenesters rock the stage themselves, but brought on stage special guest Susanna Hoffs known for her work as vocalist and guitarist for the Bangles, her solo career, and involvement in working with many artists as a songwriter, so it was definitely a treat for those that attended this packed show!
