 Ozzy
& Zakk tour |
blabbermouth.net reports: Justin Donnelly
of Australia's The Metal Forge webzine recently conducted an interview
with guitarist Zakk Wylde (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY).
�Osbourne has got to get this album done.
The music is done right now, it's just a matter of the boss singing his
balls off, and then it's all good to go. The plan is to have the album
released in February next year. By that time, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will
already be touring with the 'Shot to Hell' album. So Ozzy will be headlining,
with BLACK LABEL supporting, with an opening act supporting the two of
us." [see full story for a lot more]- Click

| MSTRKRFT
US Tour |
PR reports: There's a punk disco party going
in, and MSTRKRFT are ready to man the decks! MSTRKRFT (pronounced 'Master
craft') is the project of Toronto musician Jesse F. Keeler (DFA 1979) and
studio wizard Al-P, two music-loving dudes who've been itching to make
people dance as hard as they've made them rock. As remix kings, they've
added their midas touch to songs by Wolfmother, Annie, Buck 65, Nine Inch
Nails, and Last Gang label mates Metric among others, but The Looks marks
the duo's first studio recording. Filled with tight beats that rock like
Daft Punk in bed wih The Clash, The Looks is an electroclash party crammed
into shiny little disc.
