No Skid Row Reunion
antiMusic reports: If you got all excited and broke out the spandex and hairspray when you saw an ad for Skid Row concerts coming to your town, we have bad news. It's not the version of the band that ruled MTV with "18 and Life," Youth Gone Wild," and you won't be able to shout at Sebastian Bach "I remember you" from the crowd because he won't be on this tour contrary to some online rumors. Baz set the record straight via his official website with this message: "I am getting tired of making this announcement but every time two-fifths of my old band does some, shows they use my picture and voice to promote their bait-and-switch 'gigs', so I will say it again: I AM NOT IN THE BAND SKID ROW. I HAVE BEEN SOLO SINCE 1996. I AM NOT PLAYING ANY CONCERTS WITH SKID ROW. I AM NOT PLAYING THE STARLAND BALLROOM WITH SKID ROW. I AM NOT PLAYING THAT CLUB IN INDIANA WITH SKID ROW THAT HAS AN AD IN THE NEWSPAPER NEXT TO MY PICTURE THAT SAYS 'PAY $50 FOR A VIP TICKET TO MEET THE BAND!!!' Not only that but ... SNAKE SABO IS NOT IN SKID ROW. ROB AFFUSO IS NOT IN SKID ROW. If you go to see 'SKID ROW' in 2006, you are in fact going to see only two out of the original five members of the band."- Click Here for the Full Story

Young Widows
PR reports: The three members of YOUNG WIDOWS emerged from the dissolution of BREATHER RESIST with a new vision steeped in dark, brooding grooves and moody post-punk. From the reverb-drenched inspiration of Regulator Watts/Hoover to the bass and drums lock-groove perfected by Shellac and the Jesus Lizard, YOUNG WIDOWS gladly wears influences on its sleeve. The signature inventive guitar work of vocalist/guitarist Evan Patterson (Black Cross, The National Acrobat) is at its peak here, while the rhythm section of Nick Thieneman and Geoff Paton lays down syrup-thick grooves, recalling Pacific Northwest heavyweights (think Melvins, Karp, even Nirvana), and British post-punk, ala Gang Of Four. Settle Down City contains 11 songs of hypnotic, heavy, noise-rock anthems. Release Date: September 12, 2006[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
