PR reports: The Bad Brains first video off
of Build A Nation has been finished by director and System Of A Down member,
Shavo. The video for the track "Give Thanks And Praises" has posted online.
Shot at Sasquatch Festival and also Portland Oregon by famed cinematographer
Danny Hiele (U2, Green Day, Kanye West), the concept captures and merges
punk and reggae.
Thus, the main punk video "Give Thanks
And Praises" is seen merging into the dub reggae of "Jah Love." It's a
concept Shavo felt did justice to the band as being innovators of punk
rock:
"I really wanted to respect this band and
bring out and capture what they are about, which is a certain intensity...yet,
also bringing out all sides of the band. So, the brutal fury of the first
video merges into this beautiful dub song. It is some of the most stunning
cinematography from DP Danny Hiele I have ever seen. Glorious film style,"
says Shavo.- watch

PR reports: After an initial roll-out last
month, an additional leg of North American tour dates has been added to
the Zappa Plays Zappa tour. Demand for the concert experience that brings
the music of the late Frank Zappa to the stage, under the direction of
his eldest son, Dweezil, has exceeded expectations, prompting the new tour
dates. A special Halloween concert at New York's Beacon Theatre kicks off
the just-announced new leg of the "Tour de Frank." The date represents
the renewal of a Zappa family tradition that began over 35 years ago as
Frank Zappa could be counted upon to perform at a New York area venue every
Halloween.
The new dates continue a tour that launched
last month with performance dates in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Netherlands,
Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The
newly announced dates, following the Halloween show in New York will see
Dweezil and his group in Seattle, Austin, Edmonton and other top tier markets.

antiMusic reports: Never thought you'd see
Morris Day and Buzzcocks perform at the same event? What about the O'Jays
and Hot Hot Heat? When it comes to charity you can always count on artists
from all walks of life to do their part and such is the case with the 27th
Sunset Junction Street Festival which is set to take place on August 18th
and 19th.
Filter says that it is "two days filled
with food, art, games and rides, with entertainment blasting from three
on going stages, all emerge to celebrate local diversity." And looking
at the line up that seems to be the case and the best part is that tickets
are only a couple bucks more than megaplex showing the latest forgettable
garbage that Hollywood is churning out. Hum, two hours of a crappy movie
from Hollywood or going to Hollywood for two days of music including Ben
Harper, She Wants Revenge and more. Better yet the proceeds won't be going
to fund more bad Hollywood movies and enrich idiot actors, it's going to
the Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance.- more
