of a Breakdown |
Blabbermouth reports: Launch Radio Networks
reports: Despite repeated assurances that their forthcoming "hiatus" is
not a break-up, SYSTEM OF A DOWN reportedly acted like a band on the brink
at the opening day of this summer's Ozzfest last Thursday (June 29) in
Auburn, Washington, about 30 miles from Seattle. According to MTV.com,
the members of SYSTEM arrived at the venue in separate tour buses. Guitarist
Daron Malakian "seemed to be struggling to keep up with the rest of the
band" and improvised lyrics during the first few songs of their performance.
During the song "Lonely Day", while looking at vocalist Serj Tankian, Malakian
crooned, "Such a lonely day, hanging out with the band/ This motherf***er,
I can't stand."
A source at SYSTEM's record label told
Launch not to read all that much into last Thursday's events, adding that
the members have traveled on separate buses for a while now.[see full story

First to Last DeWarped |
punkbands reports: From First to Last made
an announcement on their site saying they had to drop off Warped Tour due
to Sonny's vocals issues. A Warped Tour official announced that From First
To Last didnt drop off, but they were kicked off; due to the bands lack
of respect and "rockstar, primadona attitudes".
Apparently, they were complaining about
not playing mainstage and on several dates announced how poorly run Warped
Tour is. This didnt make the people who ran Warped Tour happy, so From
First To Last was warned that if they kept it up they would be asked to
leave the tour. The next day the band said some stuff on stage taking shit
on the bands that are playing main stage and saying they should be on there.
Soon after the production team from Warped Tour then asked from first to
last to leave the tour (Absolutepunk). - Click

Las CBGB |
MTV reports: The owner and operator of New
York's legendary CBGB club says by mid-October, the last drinks will have
been poured and the last unsigned band will have taken the stage inside
the punk-rock landmark. In compliance with an agreement Kristal reached
with the club's landlord last December, CBGB will no longer exist on the
Bowery.
Still, Kristal says he's not about to let
the mythical club go the way of the dodo. "We want to take a lot of this
stuff with us, and I think we're going to move to Las Vegas," Kristal said...[see
