Saxophonist LeRoi Moore, a founding member of the Dave Matthews Band, has died from complications stemming from a recent ATV accident.
The accident happened before the band’s Charlotte show earlier this summer.
So, what’s your drink of choice?
I’ve always stuck with beer at bars and concerts - it’s cheaper than liquor.
It always amazes me how much Red Bull people drink. I’ve never tasted carbonated urine, but I’m guessing that’s a pretty close second in flavor to Red Bull. People consume the energy drink with vodka, via jaeger-bombs… with just about anything they have behind the bar.
Now, there’s a study that says drinking even one Red Bull may cause heart damage. Is drinking that horrid concoction worth the risk?
The EpiCentre has a country bar and an upscale lounge – and now, it has a sports bar-rant. It’s like a Fox and the Hound that serves seafood.
In the 10 minutes I was in there on Friday night’s soft opening, I heard 50 Cent, George Straight and AC/DC, which was more random than a mix tape.
There wasn’t necessarily a dance floor, but people were tossing their partners to and fro, doing some form of country swing dance. And surprisingly, I wasn’t even involved. (more…)
I got a trial issue in the mail not too long ago, and hoped it was just to get ideas and feedback… Oh well, I was wrong.
Rolling Stone magazine is going to change its size to be more in line with just about every other magazine out there.
It’s sad… Rolling Stone has always stuck out from the pack. Now, they’re going to look like everyone else.
CMT.com has reported that the Black Crowes are looking at filing a copyright infringement suit against Gretchen Wilson. Wilson’s new song, “Work Hard, Play Harder” sounds an awful lot like the Crowes’ “Jealous Again.”
Compare them below…. What do you think?
Coming tomorrow — Review and photos!

Just got word, confirmed on their Web site, that The Avett Brothers have signed to American/Columbia Records and are currently working with Rick Rubin on their next album…
Congrats to the guys - well deserved!
Jay-Z headlined the Glastonbury festival this year and kicked off his set with a cover of Oasis’ “Wonderwall.”
It was a great idea and a jab at Noel Gallagher who was critical of the decision to have Jay-Z at the fest. However, while he may be the king of rap, it proved he’s not good at singing on key.
It goes into “99 Problems,” which offered a bit of AC/DC thrown into the mix.
