Brand New
Brand New (pictured above) announce their largest ever UK headline show. They will play London Wembley Arena on Saturday 23 January 2010.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday 4 September 2009 at 9am and are available from the box office on 0844 815 0815, online @ gigandtours.com and via the 24hr CC hotline on 0871 2200 260.
The announcement follows Brand New’s incendiary performances on the Main Stage at the Leeds and Reading festivals last weekend. The band played a run of sold out UK shows in June, ending with an appearance at Glastonbury Festival.
Brand New will release their new album, Daisy, on 21 September on the band's own Procrastinate Music Traitors imprint, in partnership with DGC/Interscope. The album is heralded by lead track At The Bottom, which is available to download now; a full digital bundle will be available on 14 September.

Nirvana, mainly because they were over and done with before I was musically conscious so Dave Grohl couldn't ruin them for me by how intrinsically annoying he is. [view article]

We are including all his musical directions in the debate, which is why we're discussing whether he was better in Foo Fighters or Probot also. Facts are he is a better drummer than he is a guitarist or vocalist, and as we're debating which band he was best in rather than which band he made the best, he thus performed better in Nirvana and QOTSA. To repeat what some of the others have said, he's been good in Foos and had a lot of fame, but hasn't been nearly as influential or impressive as in the bands beforehand. [view article]
