Amateur Night? Not for These Bands
AMONG the familiar tenets of successful musicians — play loud, live fast, blame the bad stuff on the drummer — there’s one that is rarely heard beyond the tour bus.“It’s well known in the business that New Year’s Eve is amateur night for bands,” said Jerry Vivino, saxophonist in the Max Weinberg 7, the featured players on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.” He is a veteran of many Dec. 31 gigs with his own jazz quartet. “People are out getting drunk,” he said, “so the music doesn’t matter. Anybody can play and people will have a good time.” But Mr. Vivino — a Paterson native and brother of the rock guitarist Jimmy Vivino (who also plays in the Max Weinberg 7) and the comedian Uncle Floyd Vivino — was speaking broadly. For the third time since 2004, he and his band will play this New Year’s Eve at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, where revelers, he said, are respectful. “This is an educated crowd,” he said. “If people are looking for a certain type of party — loud, a lot of drunk people — they’re not going to find it in this setting.” Across New Jersey, more than a few well-known clubs and the home-grown artists who love them are doing their best to erase the amateur-night designation. Like Jerry Vivino, who now lives in Nanuet, N.Y., the New Brunswick-based post-punk band Thursday will play the room they consider their home venue, according to Geoff Rickly, the front man: Starland Ballroom, in Sayreville.Not that Thursday is expecting the same dressed-up, well-behaved crowd that Mr. Vivino is.“We’ve done a holiday show the last four years, but never New Year’s Eve,” said Mr. Rickly, who just completed a tour with Thursday behind this year’s “Kill the House Lights” (Victory Records), a live CD partly recorded at Starland Ballroom. “This year we’re taking the plunge.” What he expects, he said, is what he usually sees at the Sayreville haunt, only with “more of a buzz.”
Angels and Airwaves announced tour dates!
With the hiatus of pop-punk superstars blink-182 in full effect by the fall of 2005, singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge revealed the formation of his new band — one he'd already been working with for six months — Angels Airwaves.With the notoriety of his previous group, much hype ensued after the announcement: in interviews with outlets like mtv.com, DeLonge proclaimed (among other things) that the new music would take elements of bands like U2 and Pink Floyd and ultimately be something of a revolution to change the face of rock roll forever.Rounding out brainchild and songwriter DeLonge were guitarist David Kennedy (Boxcar Racer, Hazen Street), drummer Atom Willard (Rocket from the Crypt, the Offspring), and bassist Ryan Sinn (the Distillers).

CD review: SIXX:AM - The Heroin Diaries
„My deepest, darkest moments are out there.“ Soundtrack for a non-existing film. Prepare your mind, imagine a cruel word, push play… My dear diary, I listened to a very unusual album today. I realy don´t know what to think about it. In one moment I was scared, in the other I had tears in my eyes. It starts with a monologue about Xmas, about fucking Xmas (it reminds me lyrics of Radiohead´s Fitter happier). Following Van Nuys is very strong – lyrics and music. So emotional, I think! Next is Life is beautiful – song with great guitar parts, I can say it is a metal song (yes, I imagined different song with this poet name, shame). Pray for me is number four. I wanted to stop listening – so boring, so simmilar… But I didn´t! The next song – Tommorow is absolutely fabulous! Continuing with Accident will happen – this song is the best on this album, in my opinion. Next Intermission is again starting with monologue and again you can listen to long guitar parts. Dead man‘s ballet is whole about blaming God, dying, drugs… a bit depressing song. Piano opens Heart failure, but it is the next metal song on this album. Slow, sweet, sexy Girl with golden eyes contents next part of the Heroine diary – experience with methadone. Blistering song Courtesy call and intimate Permission is absolutely truth. The last Life after death is weird, I don´t want to life after death like this! So what is the conclusion? Maybe my opinion is different from American’s (they like this album a lot!), maybe because of I´m not on the drugs… But I expect something better. Yeah, it´s not a bad album, definitely not! But… I feel only a tendency to write out the feeling from a bad period of Nikki Sixx´s life. Nothing else, sorry

‘Revelation’ 3-Disk Set Coming From Journey
The release of Revelation in June will mark the first one since the legendary classic rock group was joined by singer Arnel Pineda.
Taking a page from the Eagles’ playbook, the new 3-disk set will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart. The Eagles did quite well with their release, which makes one wonder if these new Wal-Mart deals will be something we see a lot more of in the future.
The new 3-disk set will consist of two CDs and one DVD. The first CD will present 11 "classic" Journey tunes that have been re-recorded. The second CD will contain 11 new songs and the DVD is live concert footage.
Fans can expect information in the coming weeks regarding Journey’s tour which will kick off this summer. The group has already been confirmed for the Arrow Rock Festival in Nijmegen, the Netherlands on June 15. The festival will also feature performances from Def Leppard, KISS, Whitesnake and Twisted Sister.

Recent Update on Neil Peart’s Site
The guy that is often considered the greatest rock drummer of all time, Neil Peart of Rush, has posted a new entry to his website.
I always make it a point to read every word he posts there, not only because I am a Rush fan, but also because he is such an interesting writer and he often writes about things that are totally unrelated to music that I find interesting.
With this most recent update, Peart talks about spending time in his 
native Canada during February and how much he loves being there during that time of the year.
He’s obviously someone who loves nature and the outdoors, and since I have an appreciation for those things as well, this latest entry was interesting to me. I’m sure here may be some people out there who find the subject as boring as watching paint dry.
Although I don’t share Peart’s enthusiasm for the winter season, I do sometimes appreciate the beauty of a winter day here in New Hampshire where I live. My problem with winter in this part of the world is that it is just too darn long. I often say that if spring started here around the end of January, I really wouldn’t mind winter all that much and might even come to appreciate it as much as Neil Peart does.
One item leaked out by Peart during this most recent update is a hint that he may be moving back to Canada. It seems he has been living in California for a while now and it appears he may be a little homesick and planning a move back to the Great White North.
Check out Peart’s latest post here.

Australian Woman Takes Her Springsteen Seriously
I don’t think too many people would question Karen Lee Cooper’s dedication to the music of Bruce Springsteen, although I think it would be fair to question her sanity.
Cooper was recently sentenced in an Australian court to eight years in jail after pleading guilty to manslaughter which stemmed from an attack in 2006 where she stabbed her boyfriend to death.
Apparently, Ms. Cooper enjoys listening to Bruce Springsteen on her CD player, but her boyfriend, Kevin Watson, did not count himself among Springsteen’s many fans, and proceeded to voice his displeasure with Ms. Cooper’s choice of music on July 8, 2006.
When Mr. Watson decided to get physical with Ms. Cooper’s CD player, she picked up a knife and stabbed him. Although she did call authorities to summon help following the incident, Mr. Watson died before help arrived.
A short time later, police located Cooper outside where she had gone after swallowing a number of pills in a failed suicide attempt.
I guess it’s is nice for a performer to hear about a fan that is willing to defend her dedication, but I don’t think this is the kind of incident “The Boss” likes to hear about.
