The Deal: The Jupiter Tide played second of four bands at Amos’ Southend, but had enough crowd presence to have held the headlining spot among the bands present. This was also the first show with the band’s new drummer, Joey Garrett, so there was something new to prove. Shadow of Myself, Ruckus Avenue and Namesake rounded out the evening with a variety of sounds on the rock-metal continuum.
News / Concert Announcement 2011 Gathering of the Juggalos video released
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 9:44 AM
Another in the long line of Juggalo videos has been released. Personally, I prefer the comedy of the SNL parodies to the sadness of bad acting in the Juggalo originals, but here's the latest.
Created to promote the 2011 Gathering of the Juggalos, here's the video starring Vanilla Ice:
Among the performers are MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Xhibit, Ice Cube, CKY and a bunch of others, including, of course, Insane Clown Posse.

setlist Octopus on the Menu (06/05/11)
Posted By John Schacht on Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 8:42 AM
OCTOPUS JONES Never mind the ludicrous band moniker or the Myrtle Beach zip code, this band's eight-song debut EP Treat Yourself sounds nothing like any preconceptions either of those names might conjure. (Note to band: there's a rapper called Octopus Jones — good excuse to jettison that name!) Instead, the lush textures of some tracks echo (sorry) Echo & the Bunnymen, while others tilt toward a more laid-back experimental folk feel. Singer Danny Martin may be trying a bit too hard to channel Ian McCullough, but the music's blend sounds real promising. With Kenni Falls and Veda Woolf. $6-$9.

News Richie Furay previews Bonnaroo, Buffalo Springfield shows
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 3:22 PM
Richie Furay is on the Bonnaroo Press Conference phone call right now talking about Buffalo Springfield and Bonnaroo.
Furay says the band is playing material from its three albums, in addition to an encore of "Rockin' in the Free World." He thinks Bonnaroo is a "conglomerate" and "unique festival," and he hopes the younger generation there will get to know Buffalo Springfield either through their own research or checking them out at Bonnaroo.
Furay says the songs are pretty much the versions that were recorded more than 40 years ago, but some have been given minor updates through drumbeats or slight tweakings.
He says the band has plans to tour this fall, and the dates they have scheduled this month are strictly looked at as warm-ups for the festival. He also feels that the band writing new music together is not out of the question.
Furay is one of three original members of Buffalo Springfield, along with Neil Young and Stephen Stills.
