Rage Against The Machine set to play three more shows with Wu-Tang Clan

Rage Against The Machine The Los Angeles Times has announced that Rage Against The Machine has confirmed an additional three dates with Wu-Tang Clan.

The shows will be under the banner of Rock the Bells, the acclaimed hip-hop festival that kicks off in New York on July 28 and hits Southern California on Aug. 11. The Southern California show will be at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino while the third show, on Aug. 18, will be in San Francisco.

According to the story, the Coachella show was announced as a “one-and-done” affair but the quick sellout and the harsh-priced ticket scalping already underway are among the factors in the added shows, according to sources close to the band.

Wu-Tang Clan released Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) in 1993. Rage released their final live release, Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium in 2003.

Kirk Rundstrom of Split Lip Rayfield (1968 – 2007)

Kirk Rundstrom, vocalist of cow-punk/bluegrass act Split Lip Rayfield has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Rundstrom, the 38-year old, was diagnosed with the disease last spring and managed to fight – and still perform – for months longer than he had originally been given by doctors.

His friends and label had this to say:

Kirk was, without debate, one of the most dynamic and passionate performers we have ever seen. To see him on stage was to see a man totally focused on, totally POSSESSED with, the music of the moment. He never ever took his audience for granted and delivered the goods with a ferocious energy that flowed through the room. I had personally seen him play some 75 times and it was never boring, it was never phoned in and it was hard to take my eyes off him. If you left a show of theirs without sweating, without losing yourself in the joyous abandon of music, it wasn’t from his lack of trying.

Our deepest condolences to Kirk’s friends, family and fans.

Bomb The Music Industry set to record, tour

Bomb the Music Industry! have an update on their next full length. The band has wrapped up demoing their new material and are planning to record the album with live instruments.

As far as the album itself, they had this to say:

The album is 36 minutes long right now which seems like too much for a punk rock record so I guess when we go into the studio we’ll try to play everything a lot faster. I’ve put up the demo of “I Don’t Love You Anymore” which I think we’re gonna shoot a video for if we can get our shit together. There are no lyrics because I think they’re fairly easy to understand.

The band has also announced plans for a tour accompanied by We Versus the Shark and O Pioneers!!!. You can check out the demo they mentioned on their myspace page.

MP3 of the Week: The Ponys / inblackandwhite

Adam: It’s been such a treat to watch the Ponys grow, as each album has taken the band’s sound tastefully evolved it. The band’s still deeply indebted to bands like Television, Richard Hell, the Velvet Underground and the Cure, not to mention a dash of shoegaze, but they’ve come into their own so organically. The band’s made the jump from brilliant garage punk label In The Red to the big indies with Matador, and look set to release Turn The Lights Out on March 20th.

The Ponys – Double Vision

Justin: I reviewed their new EP this week and really feel the need to drive home the point even more. Go listen to inblackandwhite. While not entirely groundbreaking, this Boston-based band is one of the more interested post-hardcore bands to surface of late. As much about relaxed droning grooves as they are about “angular” (does anyone else hate that term?) guitar playing, the band wears their influences on their sleeves, never letting us forget those mid-era Fugazi and Frodus records, as well as the more driving rhythms of Hot Water Music and Small Brown Bike. The band was gracious enough to let us host the fourth track from Say We Are Not Brothers for download today:

inblackandwhite – “The Tundra Calls Us Home”

Gamers Radio Battalion

What Is The Gamers Radio Battalion?

We are a group of Gaming nuts who enjoy playing various games, but don't spend every waking minute analyzing every single element of the game. Sure, we want to be good players, but we do have a life offline.

We enjoy playing custom maps and are always looking for new members to help test maps, or even build new maps. We also enjoy playing various games including the Battlefield franchise, Unreal Tournament and Counterstrike. We also plan on playing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Unreal Tournament 2007 and future Battlefield games.

Who Are The |GRB|?

 

To understand who we are, you need to know where we came from. The |GRB| was founded with the release of Battlefield 1942 in 2002 by Atomm and Racer as a way to enjoy the camaraderie and teamwork associated with playing the First Person Shooter. The original members came from Racers Ghost Recon clan and had a good understanding of what teamwork meant.

With this solid core, the |GRB| went on to host many gaming events for the sole purpose of extending the gameplay of BF42 as well as offering the community something more. The first Friday Night Fights, Custom Map Night was held at the end of 2002. Offering a handful of custom maps that had not seen rotation on game servers previously, the event was a success, even gaining support from Evil Homer of Planet Battlefield Fame.

Over the course of the next few years, |GRB| would host many custom map events for Battlefield 1942 and eventually Battlefield Vietnam, reviewing several hundred custom maps along the way. Eventually, our custom map events brought us several game players who enjoyed the challenge of making custom maps. These members would turn out over a dozen custom maps for BF42 and BFV with one of the custom maps even being picked up by a custom gaming league as an official map.

In addition to our love of supporting custom map makers, we have helped beta test battlefield mods including Battlegroup for BF42 and BFV and even the WWII conversion project bringing all of the original BF42 maps to the BFV engine. In fact, a sole member of this clan single handedly finished the WWII conversion project in a effort to make sure it was released back to the Battlefield community.

Along the way, we have also enjoyed playing Unreal Tournament 2004 including over a hundred custom maps for CTF and Bombing Run. Eventually, the interest in UT2004 died down, but we still pick up a game or two now and then.

Up next was Battlefield 2. This was a turning point for our community participation as the tools offered by DICE in support of Battlefield 2 were lacking, not to mention the game engine was too taxing on several members systems. With a strong love of custom maps, we found ourselves devoid of custom mappers for this new game. With little to no outlet to extend the BF2 game, we waited patiently for a decent mod to be released. Unfortunately, the mod tools again reared their ugly head as mods for BF2 have been few and far between. Longing for more than the BF2 engine could offer, we slowly stagnated as gameplay became routine bored.

This brings us to where we are today. We are at a turning point in our evolution as a clan and will soon start our fourth official game with the release of Quake Wars. We are hopeful that the community support will be strong for ETQW, even allowing us to offer those niche gaming events that bring continued life to an aging game.

On the horizon is Unreal Tournament 2007, Frontlines: Fuel of War and Team Fortress 2. Our ranks are starting to gain momentum again with the excitement that a new game offers. If ever there was a good time to join our group of motley fools, this would be it.
