It has been reported that OFF!’s upcoming tour dates have all been cancelled.
Lead vocalist Keith Morris recently slipped into a diabetic coma and is taking time out to recover. In addition to being OFF!’s frontman, Morris is also involved with Flag, a band including other former Black Flag members. Flag have been booked to appear at the Punk Rock Bowling Festival in Las Vegas in May. So far, this – and Flag’s other prior shows – remain unaffected.
Formed in 1988, The Breeders biggest break came with their second album, 1993’s ‘Last Splash’. Featuring their best known track ‘Cannonball’, the album became a cornerstone of many alternative record collections in the 1990s.
To celebrate that album’s twentieth anniversary, Kim Deal and her merry band are taking to the road again, for a medium sized tour throughout May and June, ending with three UK dates.
With vocalist Jim Lindberg back on board, Pennywise are set to play a handful of dates in Australia along with the recently reformed Face To Face. The Menzingers are to provide support at all shows.
Their follow up to 1990’s seminal ‘Loveless’ may have been a long time coming (approximately twenty three years, in fact), but not only do My Bloody Valentine’s fans have a new album to enjoy, there’s also an opportunity to catch Kevin Shields and co live.
Big D & The Kids Table have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund not one, but TWO new albums.
Best associated with the third wave of ska in the US, the band’s sound can be somewhat more eclectic, taking in elements of punk, pop, thrash, reggae and a bit of dub. With this in mind, Big D are set to release two albums: one of upbeat ska and punk, with a second release taking in more of their lighter, reggae influenced sounds.
