Big 4 of 90s Punk Rock Tour?

2011-09-21T11:20:00.000-07:00

From RockAAA:

A Facebook group is campaigning to reunite '90s punk rock stars Bad Religion, Green Day, Rancid and Offspring.

Inspired by the Big 4 metal shows featuring Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax & Slayer, the new Facebook group proposes a "Big 4 of '90s Punk Rock" showcase featuring some of California's finest.

If it happens, it will mark the first time in over 10 years in which any of the quartet (Bad Religion, The Offspring, Green Day & Rancid) have shared a stage or tour bus together, says RockAAA.

The group's creator offers an online petition to, in his own words - "get the four back together & save punk once again.'

WHAT - no NOFX?

Michelle Bachman Pirates Tom Petty - And Petty Is Pissed

2011-06-29T06:50:00.000-07:00

From The Guardian UK:

"Tom Petty has told US presidential candidate Michele Bachmann to stop using one of his songs as part of her campaign, insisting he did not give the rightwing politician permission. Within 24 hours of the televised launch of Bachmann's 2012 campaign, Petty's lawyers reportedly pounced on the press-conference soundtrack, which used the song American Girl as exit music."

"Petty isn't pleased," reported NBC's Kelly O'Donnell, while Rolling Stone confirmed the singer's lawyers had sent the Minnesota congresswoman a cease and desist order. It's not even the first bump of Bachmann's campaign: during her announcement speech, the Tea Party supporter confused the birthplace of actor John Wayne with that of serial killer John Wayne Gacy."

"Petty's problem appears to be with Bachmann's politics. In 2008, the singer allowed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton to use American Girl for her unsuccessful presidential bid. But he was much less sympathetic in 2000, when Republican candidate George W Bush was discovered to be playing I Won't Back Down at his rallies. "This use has not been approved," Petty's representatives told the future president. "Any use made by you or your campaign creates, either intentionally or unintentionally, the impression that you and your campaign have been endorsed by Tom Petty, which is not true." Bush, er, backed down."

In VAIN In The Membrane

2011-06-10T05:24:00.000-07:00

SETX's best dance club is back with an upgraded upscale South Beach / Vegas makeover at the launch of Vain this weekend on Crockett Street in beautiful downtown Beaumont.

Formerly known as the Black Cat Lounge, the new "high-end" "20th century antebellum" style club adds go-go dancers, VIP sections, bottle service, chilly floor freezes, state-of-the-art lighting, and a dress-to-impress dress code. [Guys, leave the shorts, wife-beas, ball caps and flippie-floppies at home - and pull up your damn pants].

Owners Danny Molina and Jeff McCarson [Dixie Dance Hall, Tequila Rok, The Gig, Whiskey River and others] are vets of the local club scene with previous gigs like Phaz II, Rocky Octanes, Palladium and the Black Cat Lounge under their belts. [Besides Black Cat, my personal fave was EMPIRE - anyone else remember that?]

I dug the layout and overall vibe of the original Black Cat Lounge [and Empire] so I'm looking forward to seeing what sounds again like a serious attempt at a quality club - and very curious as to what the DJ has in mind for 2012 ... more to come.

News From Jesse Dayton!

2010-07-06T19:36:00.000-07:00

From the man himself, Jesse Dayton:

"Massive mutli-taskin' goin on round here. Producing the new Michael Des Barres record, filming "The Sinner" in Austin (we're doing green-screen filming at the crack of dawn tomorrow w/ the 50 Merc that Charlie Sexton's letting us use. Filming is lots of work, but also a lot of hurry up and wait for actors) and then we're working on scoring the film in the studio as well."

AND there was JD music in the June 27th episode of TRUE BLOOD on HBO. "Yep, that's a biggie for us considering how underground we are and how indie we approach everything."

"Obviously, it's not just me doing all this stuff. None of this would be possible without my team of peeps who keep all this goin. It's a full time job dealing with all the business and still trying to be creative. BUT I do love what I do and I'm lucky to be on the crest of a new business model run by musicians that doesn't require all the same old gatekeepers and politics...we create it, we make it, we print it, we sell it. The 80's & 90's are over folks, and recorded music is no longer a commodity like it once was. Hence the reason all these big corporate music companies are closing their doors. Most kids under 15 have NEVER EVEN bought a CD because they download it for free, or spend .99 cents on it directly from the artist, and slowly but surely, older people are learning this too. Me? I like it! And, now that CD's are goin by the wayside, people are actually buying WAX again. That's right, micro-groove 33 old school records baby. I heard on NPR that turn-tables sales have gone through the roof!"
