| The
Arrest Of Division Day |
thetripwire reports: During their first night
in Spokane, WA, the band ended up at a nearby bar after their set. Drummer
Kevin Lenhart and bass/vox/guitarist Seb Bailey met up with two friends,
and had a few. Discussing the topic of scars, one friend mentioned they'd
avoided a nasty bike accident with a car not far from where they were.
Checking out the area, they passed the old Fox Theater, which looked abandoned
from the outside. With its tempting holes in the fence, they wandered in
to the open fire escape to see if the building's insides lived up to its
external invitation. Not even two minutes in, five police vehicles circled
the building. Carrying nothing but their wallets and keys, Seb and one
of his friends went outside to find out what was happening, and they were
quickly told to get down and put their faces on the pavement! Moments later,
Kevin and the other friend emerged, uncertain of what was going on. They
were thrown in squad cars, and both Division Day members were placed in
an awkward overnight cell when they finally made it to the police station.
Kevin and Seb were immediately booked on
charges of second-degree burglary - which actually requires the intent
to commit a crime against person or property - thrown in jail, and held
until late the next evening. Missing the second show on their tour, until
they were both greeted with an abundance of apologies from the cops. No
one seemed to understand why they were overcharged, but they were let off
with a trespassing ticket that has since been dropped.[thier bad luck didn't
stop there... see full story for more]- Click

Born Live! |
PR reports: Bay Area's notorious party-starting
MC Lyrics Born is releasing Overnite Encore: Lyrics Born LIVE! on October
31, 2006, featuring over an hour's worth of live LB plus three juicy brand
new tracks. Lyrics Born's live set-up features his backing 4-piece band
and Quannum chanteuse Joyo Velarde. Combining an infectious bass line,
a boom bap drum pattern, pulsating keys and Latin-infused guitar riffs,
the band nails the LB productions and sets the platform for his voice to
soar over - a voice that's easily one of the best and most distinctive
flows in the business. Over the past year Lyrics Born rocked crowds at
Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonaroo, Langerado and Vegoose. The Live album
combines live sets from Melbourne and Sydney in late 2005 plus two new
studio tracks and a new remix (guests include Mistah F.A.B., The Gift of
Gab, Trackademicks, Del The Funky Homosapien, Zion-I, Pigeon John &
more...) - Click

| Warm
In The Wake Debut |
PR reports: Livewire Recordings is gearing
up for the release of "Gold Dust Trail," the debut from the most recent
addition to the Livewire roster, WARM IN THE WAKE. The 7-song EP will be
released on January 30, 2007.
Warm In The Wake is considered one of the
most versatile bands on the Atlanta music scene. Known for their tight,
compelling performances, their music blends slow-core, acoustic, psychedelia,
and a hint of Americana, creating a mood as much as a unique sound. The
band is comprised of former Alabamians Christopher Rowell (vocals, guitar,
bass), James Taylor Jr. (drums) and brothers Daniel Barker (keyboards)
and Andy Barker (bass), who all now call Atlanta home.-

| The
End for Tub Ring |
The End reports: Chicago's spazzed-out, high-energy
rock ensemble TUB RING has signed to THE END RECORDS. The band will release
their yet-untitled debut album for the label sometime in early 2007.
The band - who has always been an unpredictable
and errant rock band when it comes to the music they create -- cater to
no one when it comes to their music. Not even themselves. Since their inception
in 2001, Tub Ring has been a force of nature in the left-of-center world
of music. Their debut album Drake Equation (produced by Mr. Bungle's Trey
Spruance) helped showcase their musical makeup as a tornado of genres,
mixing punk, classical, surf, a-capella, hard-core, pop, and whatever else
crossed their path into one cohesive blend of rock.- Click

Nike |
PR reports: From Nike, the world's leading
sports brand, comes an exclusive release by America's premiere electronic
maestro James Murphy, a/k/a multi-Grammy-nominated artist LCD Soundsystem.
45:33: Nike+ Original Run is an original musical composition only available
through iTunes -- part of a continuing series of releases through the "Nike
Sport Music" section of the store. 45:33: Nike+ Original Run is a unique
album written specifically for runners, but its allure extends to all music
fans. Murphy explains, "This appealed to me because it was so anathematic
to what you're typically asked to do as an artist: make easily digestible
lumps of music for albums, or the radio, or whatever. I'd been thinking
of the records I love in which people made one "song" that took up the
entire LP and realizing that releasing something like this would otherwise
be a virtually impossibility for me, I became excited when the Nike+ project
came along." [buy it at the full story link]- Click
