Punkbands reports: Britney who? Just days
after the princess of pop announced she had given birth to a happy, healthy
junior Federline, the world of rock answered back with a biological bombshell
that definitely raises the bar for musician-on-musician coupling: Queens
of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and Distillers lead singer Brody Dalle
are expecting their first child.
On Friday (September 16), a spokesperson
for Dalle confirmed that she is indeed pregnant with Homme's child, and
then upped the ante by adding that the couple recently became engaged,
too. [see full story for more]- Click

| SNFU
Split |
Punkbands reports: SNFU, one of Canada's longest
running punk acts, is calling it quits. Founding guitarist Marc "Muc" Belke
posted the following to the band's official website: I would love to thank
all the people that have come to see Snfu play in the last year. We had
a great time & managed to tour Canada a couple of times to support
our 9th album, "In The Meantime & In Between Time". I'm truly sorry
we didn't manage to get to play any other territories as we had originally
planned.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce
my departure from from Snfu, as it has been the biggest part of my life
for almost 20 years. It's my feeling that Snfu has done everything that
we had set out to do. [see full story for more]- Click

| Living
Things |
Press Release reports: Ahead of the Lions
by Living Things will be out October 4th on Jive Records. The Steve Albini
produced album was tracked and mixed in St. Louis and Stockholm and has
already received some amazing accolades.
"One of the most ferocious straight-ahead
rock albums since Nevermind," Brian Raftery in Spin magazine last April.
In addition to Ahead of the Lions, Lillian
has authored a book, "Post Mortem Bliss" (Apocrypha Press), due this fall.
It explores his life from 13 to 19, a period marked by his being diagnosed
with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, his subsequent addiction
to anti-depressants, and his tenuous coexistence with an anarchist mother
and homosexual father. Excerpts will be posted on the band's Web site:
www.livingthingsmusic.com., to be re-launched soon.
