| The
Stain Vs Staind No More |
Submitted News reports: After a three and
a half year legal battle over the name THE "STAIN", Jon Stainbrook's band
THE STAIN has settled their court case with STAIND. Founded by Stainbrook
in 1980, THE STAIN has been performing live shows and received worldwide
acclaim for music used in TV, video, and DVD for national and international
markets. THE STAIN was also the stage band for Howie Mandel, as part of
his act during two tours. THE STAIN's recordings have been used by ESPN,
MTV, Disney, FOX, Mountain Dew, Jose Cuervo, Coke, Budweiser, BASF, and
Nissan.
Stainbrook registered a trademark for THE
"STAIN" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In 1999, Stainbrook
and STAIND entered into a licensing agreement, which granted STAIND the
right to use Stainbrook's internationally established, well-known, and
federally registered trademark for THE "STAIN" for promotion of STAIND.
THE STAIN retained sole rights to their music and publishing. In 2003,
STAIND sued Stainbrook in a New York Federal Court over the 1999 licensing
agreement in an attempt to cancel Stainbrook's rights in the trademark.
Judge Miriam Cedarbaum, the presiding judge in the Martha Stewart stock
scandal, ruled in favor of Stainbrook. [see full story for more] -

Make it Official |
PR reports: Officially from Chimaira "Well
it's official! We've wrapped things up and signed two record deals! "The
first one being with Ferret Music for our home turf North America. We have
known the guys over at Ferret for many years and they are great friends.
We look forward to building off that friendship and making great records
together. We knew we wanted to sign to Ferret right away and it was a great
feeling to hear they felt the same way about Chimaira. They have a vision
for this band that just blows us away, and we feel very fortunate to finally
be working with a team that understands us." [see full story for more]-

"The Train" Hancock Tour |
conqueroo reports: Wayne "The Train" Hancock
well may be the touring-est artist in America. At 200 to 250 nights of
touring per year, Hancock saves a lot on air conditioning, sheets and groceries.
(Gas on the other hand is a whole 'nother story.)
This fall, he'll be out there in support
of his forthcoming Bloodshot Records album titled Tulsa. The album, due
out next Tuesday, October 10, pays nod to the spirit of Bob Wills, Herb
Remington and the Cain's Ballroom sound with 14 new original songs. There's
still plenty of ragin' rockabilly and trad country - just the welcome addition
of a clarinet or two. Hank III says of Wayne: "Wayne Hancock has more Hank
Sr. in him than either I or Hank Williams Jr." [see full story for dates]

Hill Drive Who |
Megaforce reports: It was a moment of elder
rock legend anointing a young and burgeoning rock band named Rose Hill
Drive. After a blistering set from the young trio at Rachel Fuller's "In
The Attic" show at Chicago's House Of Blues on September 28, Rose Hill
Drive closed the show with The Who's legendary guitarist Pete Townshend
joining them on stage. Pete jammed on RHD's "Raise Your Hands" and after
finishing, the riffs of "Young Man Blues" came out of Pete's guitar and
it was off to the races with vocals provided by RHD's lead singer. It was
a 10 minute jam with Pete and Rose Hill Drive's lead guitarist trading
back and forth, one playing rhythm and one playing lead. The final song
of the evening involved all performers singing "I Am One" with Rose Hill
Drive playing and Pete on acoustic guitar.
After spending the last couple years building
an enormous underground buzz with thrilling live shows, the Boulder-based
trio Rose Hill Drive have been touring in support of their August 22nd
debut self-titled release on Megaforce Records. The band will head to the
UK for more dates with The Answer co-headlining: (and also support the
Who on several dates - see the full story link for all of the dates] -

Travers DVD |
MVD reports: PAT TRAVERS BAND - HOOKED ONMUSIC
- Despite a plethora of live albums there has been very little concert
footage of Travers available. Shot on 11th April 1976 in Kln, Germany this
is a classic document of the early stages of Travers rise to international
fame. Playing as a three piece he and his band set the standard for generations
of guitar hero wannabes. A dazzling yet strangely understated performance,
this was a tantalizing taster for what was to follow. Hooked on Music is
an impressive insight into a man who has become a bona fide rock guitar
virtuoso. MVD will release this on Nov 21st.- Click

Live |
MVD reports: FARM - BACK TOGETHER NOW: LIVE
- This incredible performance was filmed at Brixton Academy in London on
March 26, 2005 - their first gig in 10 years! The DVD also includes behind-the-scenes
unreleased footage @ L.I.P.A. Rehearsal Rooms in Liverpool from August
23, 2005. The Farm was formed in Liverpool in 1983 by singer Peter Hooton,
guitarist Stevie Grimes, bassist Phil Strongman and drummer Andy McVann.
They featured a horn-heavy sound and leftist identity, eventually being
labeled "the Soul of Socialism". In the 90s, they took on a strong dance
element and suddenly found themselves aligned with the club culture movement.
Their most successful songs, including "All Together Now", blossomed in
this era. MVD will release this on Nov 21st.- Click
