Futureheads cancel US tour
10.05.2006 / 08:10
The Futureheads have announced the cancellation of their upcoming US dates with the following announcement that was posted on their website Friday:
"It is with great sadness that I must tell you we have had to cancel our forthcoming US Tour, due to the development of tendonitis in Barry's left wrist. He has been advised to rest and, as far as we can see, there is no way of us being able to make those shows work, given the state of his wrist. We are all deeply disappointed at having to pull the shows at such a late stage, but there is no way around it for us. Apologies to the people with tickets - we promise to get out to the US at the next available opportunity. The UK tour will not be affected by this given that there are some months progress toward recovery, and only rest will enable that.
Thanks for your understanding"
Blue Cheer announce East Coast dates
10.05.2006 / 08:04
Legendary rock band Blue Cheer have announced upcoming East Coast tour dates and will be performing at this year's CMJ festivities.
The band that Lester Bangs called "the first true heavy metal band" formed in the late 1960's in San Francisco named themselves after a brand of LSD created by Owsley Stanley (Grateful Dead). They performed with the MC5, Jefferson Airplane, Vanilla Fudge, Ike & Tina Turner, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Clear Light, Captain Beefheart, and more. They temporarily split in 1971 but reunited in '79. The second incarnation would go on to tour with The Yardbirds, Biohazard, Danzig, Mucky Pup, and others.
This past year they have toured the US with Witch (featuring J Mascis), Dead Meadow, Goblin Cock, and others. They also performed at Vice's 2006 Intonation Festival.
The current lineup features Richard "Dickie" Peterson on lead vocals and bass, and Paul Whaley on drums. The two are joined by Duck MacDonald on guitar.
There are plans to release a new album next year.
