What have you been up to? Just chillin’ and enjoying the day. You have plans for a tour? Yeah, we are heading out in May to do a US tour. I’d love to check it out, especially to see Babu [Dilated Peoples’ DJ] cut it up. He’s definitely ill. I don’t know what’s wrong with…

It is a moist, hazy, gray summer day as I walk through the park, the place of tonight’s Friendship Festival in Fort Erie, Ont. This is a festival that goes on yearly to celebrate the friendship between the two neighboring countries, Canada and The United States. Each year, thousands gather to celebrate the borders’ friendship…

When the hit song “…Baby One More Time” was released just one year ago, a pop diva was born. Unlike many young stars struggling to make the charts, Britney Spears has definitely secured her place. Who would have thought a gangly girl from Louisiana, sporting Mouseketeer ears and an innocent smile, could turn out to…

You guys are dropping the album soon. What have you been up to? We’ve been out for like three weeks with Sevendust and just wrapped up a video. Now we’re touring independently. It’s cool because we’re out blazing trails. We’ll be on the East Coast in April, and then June we’ll be on the Warped…

Kenny Wayne Shepherd is riding the wave of bliss that the blues brings to so many ears, all while earning himself a Grammy, #1 slots on Billboard charts, and a…

The void that’s been left in the heavy music world since Tool’s disappearing act in 1998 has been a big one. It’s safe to say that Maynard James Keenan’s new project, A Perfect Circle, can fill that void and do even more with a versatile sound and grainy Brit-pop textures. The band also includes co-founder…

They knocked you down with their hit single, “Tubthumper”, and now they’re back with a brand new album, WYSIWYG, full of pop that will invite and incite. I had a chance to speak with Dunstan Bruce, lead vocalist and one of Chumbawamba’s eight members. Read on about all things political and find out how we…

While Travis is dancing from country to country, Dougie Payne, their bass player, took time out to call me. If you don’t know who Travis is, read their biography first, then read what follows here.
