Moz & Marr Turn Down $75,000,000 for Smiths Reunion
The latest from the Morrissey camp: A press release released just today announces Moz's final 30 stops on his latest successful tour promoting his number one UK album, Ringleader of the Tormentors—playing 168 shows in just over 21 months come November. These shows will be the last Morrissey will do "for the foreseeable future." But that wasn't really the interesting part of the release. This was: Finally, in an effort to stop the speculation and kill off the rumor mongers who seem to use the
August 23, 2007Mars Volta Announce Release Date For LP4
The new 12-song album is set to come out.... January 29, 2008. Sigh. For those who have been anxiously waiting since 2006's Amputechture, this is going to be a looong 3 months. But if you need an M.V. fix, here's a live performance of "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)".
October 23, 2007Yes to Complexly Rock Honda Center Aug. 20
Set aside your negative bias toward Yes—and while you're at it, lose your knee-jerk hatred of prog rock. Yes fuckin' rock—albeit in a long-winded, redonkulously complex manner. And Chris Squire's bass playing? Completely slaughters Les Claypool's. Ask Squarepusher. He'll vouch for me. As those SoCal badboys the Mars Volta know, prog rock can be damned exhilarating, when done with just the right amount of excess, killer chops, trippy album artwork and a keenly rococo melodic sense—all of
April 10, 2008Economic Crisis Affecting OC Opera
The LA Times reports: The economic crunch has swallowed Opera Pacific's 2008-2009 season after a single production, "The Barber of Seville." The two remaining operas, "The Grapes of Wrath," a new work by Ricky Ian Gordon and Michael Korie, and Richard Strauss' "Salome," with Deborah Voigt (left) in the title role, will not be staged, the company announced Tuesday. The reason: a drop in donations — on which it relies for 60% of its revenue. On the plus side,'90s boy band Hanson, is still sch
November 14, 2008LowBallVideoChatter: The Band, "Don't Do It"
The Time: Thanksgiving, 1976. The Place: Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco. The Occasion: The final concert by the original lineup of the Band, with a jaw-dropping number of guests (Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, etc.), all of it preserved forever by Martin Scorsese's cameras in the greatest rock-doc of all time, The Last Waltz. Ticket Price: A then-scandalous $25, but everybody got a free turkey dinner
November 27, 2008More No Doubt Tour News
Alright, so there aren't any official tour dates yet, but a few babies and weddings later, No Doubt has finally officially confirmed they will indeed be touring Summer 2009. Starting this May, the band will be making stops at larger amphitheaters and arenas all through out the United States and Canada with current KROQ sensation Paramore (hey, it could be worse). Swedish synth pop group the Sounds and Canadian band Bedouin Soundclash will provide additional backup on select tour dates. While the

November 6, 2008Slideshow: The Game at the Grove of Anaheim
The Game may not have the same buzz now that he did a few years ago circa his feud with G-Unit, but he's still at it, and last year's LAX--allegedly his final album--debuted at #2 and has sold nearly 700,000 copies. His current tour stopped at the Grove of Anaheim last night, and Fever Dragon was there to caption it. The pictures? Why, they're here!

(Yes, I could have used another No Doubt picture to illustrate this blog, but I'm using this Katy Perry pic instead. Deal with it. We need hits.) Waaay sold out. No Doubt has added yet another Verizon Wireless Amphitheater show--their fourth!--to their triumphant reunion tour, this one happening on August 4. The July 31, August 1 and August 2 shows are all already sold out (as are three shows at the Gibson Amphitheatre). Tickets for this one are on sale next Saturday (NEXT Saturday), April 4, at

Move over April, concert goers have a new spring fling...her name is May, and she's finer than a motha fucka.

May 14, 2009Incoming: Hoobastank, Unwritten Law Play Acoustic at Sutra
Sutra Lounge in Costa Mesa has been changing its image since changing ownership last November, and the latest new haps over there is the "Unplugged Concert Series" that started earlier this month with Jason Reeves. The acoustic fun continues this summer, with gigs from Hoobastank on June 10 and Unwritten Law on July 8. Tickets for the former are on sale now ($25 in advance, $30 at the door--surely someone will pay it), and UL goes on sale June 1. Both bands are from the SoCal area; Hoobastank ar
May 21, 2009Venus Infers Score Another Opening Gig with Peter Murphy
Huntington Beach's Venus Infers are not exactly new to having cool things happen to them as a band--they've gotten a ton of local awards and acclaim, placement on TV shows and some prime gigs supporting big names. But they're still assuredly psyched about this: opening up for former Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy tonight at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip.We got word from VI singer and guitarist Davis Fetter late yesterday afternoon, so things must have gone well Monday night at the House
June 10, 2009Cheap lawn tickets on sale today
Concert promoters LiveNation are offering a pretty good deal for upcoming shows at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater (and other venues across the country that, if you are reading the OC Weekly, you probably don't care that much about). The catch is, it's good only today.Anyone who buys lawn tickets to shows at the mega Irvine venue will pay only $24.99. And to make the deal even sweeter, there are no additional fees. Yeah, you're sitting a mile away, but the lawn's where all the good weed is, so

If you call yourself emo and don't know Sunny Day Real Estate, then it's time to learn your history. The foursome -- singer/guitarist Jeremy Enigk, guitarist Dan Hoerner, bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith -- helped create the template for dudes with loud guitars to play music that shunned anger and welcomed sadness.The orginial quartet broke up in 1998, but Enigk, Hoerner and Goldsmith reunited a few times with a couple of different bassists once Mendel joined this little group c

July 9, 2009TONIGHT: Love Your Mother and DJ Old Boy at Avalon
Now there's something you don't see every day, marshmallow monsters advertising rock bands. But gazing up at this delicious-looking flier, I'm quickly reminded of how the unabashed live presence of DJ Old Boy and Costa Mesa rock band Love Your Mother might have something in common with the monstrous Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghost Busters. Sometimes things that seem the most harmless to us can be the most dangerous. Like the cute, cuddly marshmallow man, phrases like "Love Your Mother" or "
July 16, 2009Tomorrow: Fauxchella
It's not often that Pearl Jam, the Rolling Stones, No Doubt, U2, the Cure, the Dave Matthews Band and Bruce Springsteen perform a free concert in Long Beach. In fact, it's never happened. Unfortunately, you can add tomorrow as just another one of those days when that dream bill won't come to fruition.But what do you do when you can't see the real deal? Tribute bands. Yes, that's right, a bunch of groups with names that have something to do with the artists they cover are playing a free show in L

Blink-182 and Weezer both released their first albums in 1994. They're both two of the most successful "alternative rock" bands of the last couple decades.
September 18, 2009Incoming: The Whigs at Detroit Bar
On the heels of yesterday's radtacular announcement that !!! (Chk Chk Chk) are coming to Detroit Bar on September 28, the westside Costa Mesa venue hits us over the head with another awesome show. This time it's the Whigs on November 18. Yeah, that's the same Whigs that's been touring with Kings of Leon, including this past Saturday at the Forum. So that's pretty cool.It's also the first OC date for the Whigs since they opened up for the Kooks at the House of Blues in Anaheim last October. Th

We recently got word RX Bandits (whose members are hail from Long Beach, Seal Beach and Santa Rosa) have been invited by Glassjaw to join their long-awaited mini tour. The outings include just three shows at The Mayan Theater in L.A., the Glass House in Pomona and The Regency Theater in San Francisco. It's quite a come up for fans of both bands, especially Glassjaw fans who probably haven't seen the band perform together since the early to mid 00's. Their las
