Published

Today, Halsey has announced a big North American summer tour. The 27-date trek of the nation’s amphitheaters includes stops at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, Mountain View, California’s Shoreline Amphitheatre, Queens, New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and Morrison, Colorado’s Red Rocks.

CHVRCHES and Omar Apollo (June 2 – July 5) and blackbear and PVRIS (July 12 – August 1) will serve as the tour’s opening acts.

CHVRCHES had an interesting 2019: Collaborating with Marshmello for their biggest-ever pop hit, beefing with Chris Brown and Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta, coming out with a video-game theme. And now it looks like their summer will be pretty interesting, too. Halsey’s other openers on this summer tour include the vaguely psychedelic singer-songwriter Omar Apollo, the emo-rapper Blackbear, and the electro-pop trio Pvris. Check out Halsey’s North American tour dates below.

Next week, she’ll release her much-anticipated new album Manic, which feels like her most personal so far.

Check out full ticket information at Halsey’s Manic World Tour site. All tickets purchased for the North American leg of the Manic World Tour will be accompanied by a CD copy of Manic.

David Byrne Shares New Christmas Song Fat Man’s Comin’ on Bandcamp

Published

on

I always wanted to write a holiday song, David Byrne writes in a statement about The Fat Man’s Comin’, which he just released for Bandcamp. I wouldn’t call it a Christmas song, as the visitation of Santa (formerly known as St. Nicholas, who mainly did punishing) seems to have evolved to be a more secular consumer moment than a religious or spiritual affair.

Byrne co-produced the song with Jherek Bischoff, who did the song’s sweeping orchestral arrangements. It’s a bit of a “lost” track that Byrne says dates from when they worked on his album with St. Vincent. It’s definitely not your average holiday song — there are no sleigh bells or other standard season sounds. Instead, it’s an “old school creepy” neo-classical ode to “The funky man with the fur trimmed collar.” You can listen to the song and watch the video, featuring Byrne’s drawings, below. Proceeds from downloads benefits Byrne’s Reasons To Be Cheerful nonprofit online news magazine. Until the end of this year, The Fat Man’s Comin’ can be purchased for an amount of your choosing, with a $1 minimum price.

Here’s Byrne’s statement on the track:

I believe the foundation of this music might have been written at the same time as the collaboration I did with St. Vincent a few years ago, but somehow a literal view of the Santa phenomena was what came out. It wasn’t right for Annie and me – the story of a fat man in rather odd attire who breaks into people’s homes and leaves mysterious packages.

I’d worked with Jherek before and enlisted him to arrange and record the “orchestra,” which I wanted to sound sort of old-school creepy. The old song “Teddy Bears Picnic” may have been a reference.

Back then, I thought I’d use the song as a means to raise money for a good cause, but to draw attention to this thing I thought it might need a visual, so I storyboarded a video for the song which eventually ended up getting shelved.

But maybe helping celebrate another year of Reasons To Be Cheerful might be a good reason to resurrect this song, and let the storyboards allow folks to imagine what the video might have been.

Enjoy and thanks for listening/watching

Blink-182 Reuniting Classic Lineup With Tom DeLonge For 2023 World Tour and New Single

Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker are back together for the first time in nearly a decade.

Published

on

Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus are reuniting as Blink-182 for the first time since 2015 for a new international tour. They announced a new tour in a funny video on Tuesday, filled with double entendres, in which fans expressed their desire to see the group come together.

 

Most exciting for fans, though, is word that a new single, EDGING, is coming on Friday (Oct. 14), commemorating the trio’s first time in the studio in 10 years.

DeLonge and Hoppus founded Blink-182 in 1992, and Barker joined as drummer in 1998. The band went on hiatus and explored side projects in 2005, with DeLonge focusing on his band Angels & Airwaves. They regrouped for a reunion tour and new music in 2009, but DeLonge left the band in 2015. Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba joined as a replacement, while DeLonge pursued his own music and studied UFOs, even executive producing History Channel’s “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation.”

The Lemonheads to Celebrate It’s a Shame About Ray – 30th Anniversary on Fall Tour

Boston alt-rock stalwarts the Lemonheads will celebrate the 30th anniversary with a North American tour this fall

Published

Nick Paruch

The Lemonheads’ It’s a Shame About Ray turned 30 earlier this year, and they’ll be continuing to celebrate by playing it in full on tour this fall. Opening for them at select stops on the tour are Juliana Hatfield, who played bass and sang backing on the album, Bass Drum of Death, and On Being an Angel. Their 11/18 show in Toronto is with Montreal punk vets The Nils and ’90s alt-rock survivors Rusty. See dates are listed below.

Bandleader Evan Dando took the album out on the road, performing it in full at a series of European shows. They also opened for Jawbreaker at a Los Angeles show in April and were set to open for more dates, but were dropped from the tour in such a way that Dando ended up calling Jawbreaker “pussies.”

The Lemonheads also recently released an expanded 30th anniversary edition of It’s A Shame About Ray, featuring a second disc with their cover of Mrs Robinson, acoustic versions, radio sessions and more.
