Machines Commit Suicide |
punkbands reports: After torrent of rumors
surrounding their demise, Suicide Machines' co-founder and guitarist Dan
Lukacinsky has sent Punknews.org a statement regarding the future of the
band: "Yes - the Suicide Machines have indeed disbanded and will no longer
be playing shows. We originally had planned on calling it a day at the
end of 2005 - but some great offers for tours came in late last year that
we just could not turn down so we decided to take them and keep it going.
Things just got to a point recently of where we could no longer continue
doing this band although we had planned on trying to stay with it until
the end of this year.[see full story for more]- Click

| Stolen
Concrete |
The Tripwire reports: NYC is supposed to be
safer than ever... so why do bands keep getting their gear stolen? In a
sad turn of events, The Concretes are the latest to have experienced the
wrath of musical instrument theft here in the Big Apple. The band got their
guitars, an organ and a euphonium lifted from their locked trailer following
last week's performance at NYC's Bowery Ballroom. [see full story for more..
perhaps there is a mob connection? you're not supposed to have anything
to do with concrete in NYC without them getting their cut.]-

| Dissection
Coverage |
Reader Mail reports: I read Antimusic.com
everyday, but I noticed you have no coverage for the band "Dissection".
They are a Black Metal band from Sweden with a long history. Their new
album "Reinka½s" comes out Tuesday May 15. I found out about "The
Black Dahlia Murder" from Antimusic- Dissection is one of their influences.
Maybe others will be able to find out about "Dissection" from you as well.
answer: We've actually covered them a bit.
Just had a story last month. We used to get news from their label [The
End Records] but they stopped sending it to us for some reason, so blame
the label! For those that want to learn more about the band and this release
check out the full story link.- Click

Cab For Henry |
Cornerstone reports: That's right, your favorite
band, Death Cab For Cutie will be on Henry's show this Saturday night,
May 20th. The performance should be really cool as Henry's set is very
intimate and small. It will be cool to see Death Cab play like that as
they've been playing really big venues as of late. And for those of you
who didn't know this already, Death Cab For Cutie takes their name from
a song performed in the Beatles' movie "Magical Mystery Tour." [note: the
publicist wrote that favorite band bit...]- Click

Seconds to Kill |
Virgin reports: 30 SECONDS TO MARS has just
released their exclusive "Two Beautiful Lies" EP through iTunes. Two weeks
ago the band asked their fans to submit photos for a set of digital liner
notes to accompany their new single for "The Kill" and the response was
tremendous. In just 24 hours, over 1,000 fans submitted their digital photos.
The photos have been transformed into a 36 page photo book that is now
bundled with the EP, which includes "The Kill" and a previously unreleased
live recording of "Attack" at iTunes for $1.49.
The video for "The Kill," loosely inspired
by themes of isolation and insanity present in the Kubrickian nightmare
The Shining, was ranked #1 in the Hot 5 Videos on MTV.com for the past
two weeks while, during the week of May 1, it was #1 on Fuse's Oven Fresh.

with Sharks |
Press Release reports: A unique, exciting
book is finally completed, and the buzz is already in full bloom for what
promises to be a sensation, both nationally and internationally.
Like any how-to book worth its while, Swimming
with Sharks is replete with little-known facts and sound advice. It, however,
also goes a step further Deskovic and Giacomazzo worked tirelessly, for
months on end, collecting interviews from various music industry professionals
in a variety of fields, including law, promotions, marketing, and publicity.
Swimming with Sharks also boasts some never-before-seen photos taken by
Giacomazzo whose professional represented photography is award-winning
and published featuring goth legend Voltaire, punk rockers Suicide City
(ex-Biohazard and Kittie), and rocknroll guitarist Wilson Lihn. Finally,
Swimming with Sharks features snippets from Ask the Pros, a MySpace group
moderated by Deskovic, in which up-and-coming bands ask the 200-plus-member
cadre of professionals a variety of questions.[see full story for more]-

Embargo |
antiMusic reports: We got a press release
in stating that The Dixie Chicks have ended their "press embargo" with
an exclusive interview on a certain TV show. However, we can't give you
any more details because our reciprocal embargo remains in place. But we
do enjoy the irony of receiving a press release about a press embargo.

Meeting: Jake Brown |
antiMusic reports: A lot of people work hard
to make antiMusic what it is. So with our 8th anniversary we felt it was
time to spotlight each writer so you can get to know them a little better.
Over the next few weeks we will be posting a small portion of each staff
person's new profile page. So let's get to know Jake Brown a little better.
Jake Brown is from Nashville and has been
with antiMusic for 2 years. The first album he purchased was Prince's "Purple
Rain" and his first concert was Bon Jovi on the Slippery When Wet tour.
He lists Izzy Stradlin & the JuJu Hounds, Motley Crue- Red, White &
Crue, Tom Waits- Heart Attack & Vine, Paul Westerberg- 14 Songs, Janes
Addiction- Nothing's Shocking, Smashing Pumpkins- Gish, Prince- Sign of
the Times, The Pixies- DooLittle, A Tribe Called Quest- The Low End Theory
and Fleetwood Mac- Rumors Top 10 Favorite CDs. His musical pet peeves are
"That PAUL WALL has a career as a rapper. That reality TV shows can legitimize
pop music stars, that J LO is still working as either an actress or singer,
that Kevin Federline is getting ANY press at all about his stupid f***ing
rap career, when grunge singers used to wine about being rich rock stars,
Ozzy gave the best response to all of them: 'If you don't like it, go work
in a f**king car wash!'" His favorite part of antiMusic is " The Newswire,
without question. Definitely one of the most varied and current news summaries
out there on the web". Click the full story to learn more about Jake Brown.
