Messiah |
sleazeroxx.com reports: In a recent interview
former Shotgun messiah vocalist Zinny J. Zan had the following to say about
his firing from that band.
"The situation in Shotgun was getting more
strained and at the end it was Tim & Harry doing their stuff and Stixx
and I doing ours, so the whole we against the world feeling was gone so
to speak. I had hard feelings, yeah, cause they painted a picture of me
being a crazy guy, out of my mind and never gave me credit for anything.
Trying to make me a laugh, and that did hurt. Now I do not have any hard
feelings towards them at all, it is in the past. Harry is doing his thing,
Tim is doing his and I do mine and Stixx and I keep in touch every now
and then. We meet, have a beer or Stixx joins Zan Clan and plays drums
on "Care Bout Nothin", a Shotgun song that Zan Clan always play."[see full

Loss Voice |
PR reports: Due to a chronic throat infection,
Journey's lead singer, Steve Augeri, has been forced to leave the band's
current nationwide tour with Def Leppard. Jeff Scott Soto, who has previously
performed with Journey guitarist Neal Schon, will assume the band's lead
singer duties starting with the July 7th show in Bristow, VA. Steve Augeri's
condition will be closely monitored by his physician to determine when
he may be able to rejoin the tour.
According to Journey, "Steve's been suffering
with an acute throat condition since before we kicked off the tour with
Def Leppard. We were hoping he'd be in well condition to handle the rigors
of the road but unfortunately it appears to be a chronic condition requiring
total voice rest. We all wish Steve a speedy recovery."-

| Tricky
Bizzniss |
PR reports: Electro-rock duo TRICKY BIZZNISS
prepares to release their debut self-titled album, releasing September
12, 2006 on EsNtion Records. The duo is none other than the former vocalist
for the highly-acclaimed group The Crystal Method Trixie Reiss and 2-time
Grammy nominee Ernie Lake.
Coming from two diverse backgrounds, Trixie
Reiss and Ernie Lake had their first meeting on September 10th, 2001. Their
goal was to collaborate their talents and make music that was new and exciting.
The very next day was the day the world changed forever. Every artist,
including Trixie and Ernie, had to re-think their ideals and how to deal
with their music and audience. They put their project on hold and reconvened
a while later to reignite their discussions, and ultimately TRICKY BIZZNISS
was born. The name was fitting, as entering into a new venture during the
difficult emotional era post-9/11 was, in itself, a tricky business move.[see

| Ready
for Redding? |
antiMusic reports: We've been teasing you
for months on antiMusic but the wait will be over next Tuesday when Redding's
debut album finally hits stores! Who is Redding? A promising Midwest Indie
Rock / Shoegaze band that blends together the best elements of Britpop
and Brit-alt rock, think Coldplay meets Radiohead as expressed in the following
portion of their bio.
Redding's four members are students at
Greenville College, a small liberal arts school in town -- full-time students,
aged 19 to 25. But Redding's not your garden-variety Midwest rock band.
Devout anglophiles, these four young gentlemen have created a mature, melodic
and atmospheric album that defies age and geography, venturing into the
anthemic turf of Britpop (Coldplay, Travis) and the dark, intricate sensitivity
of bands like Doves, Elbow, and Radiohead.
antiMusic has always been about diversity
and quality and our editor Keavin Wiggins explains how we became involved
with helping promote the Redding debut, "One of our biggest goals at antiMusic
is to expose promising new artists to our readers and when I heard Redding
the first time I knew right away that they were a band we would get behind.
So when Rock Ridge asked if we would be interested in partnering with them
to help launch Redding's debut album, I jumped at the opportunity to lend
our support because not only does the music deserve as much exposure as
possible but I know Rock Ridge is one of the few labels out there that
is actually in the business for the music first and foremost." [If Indie
Rock / Shoegaze is your thing click the exclusive previews on the right
hand menu across the antiMusic network (just below the Redding banner)
and pick up a copy of the album next Tuesday. Even if it's not you usual
thing, check it out anyway!]- Click
