Meshuggah and Cynic team up for 2009 tour

Posted in Concert Dates with tags , , on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 by Ryan Buege

Progressive death metal masters Meshuggah, Cynic, and The Faceless have announced that they’ll be collaborating on what is sure to be the best metal tour of early 2009!

Seriously, WHOA! That is one of the most impressive metal touring packages I’ve seen in a hell of a long time, and anyone who’s familiar with these bands know that we’ll be able to expect and amazing show. To begin with, all three bands have just released some of the best albums of their career. Not only is this is Meshuggah’s first U.S. tour in support of frighteningly chaotic obZen,  but Cynic will be supporting their career-reigniting mindtrip Trace in Air and the Faceless will be starting the show off with songs from their incredible new tech death release Planetary Duality. To say that the crowd will be excited will be an huge understatement. Meshuggah have some of the most passionate fans in all of metal, and it’s been a long time since they set out on a real headlining tour in America. Even, Cynic is a landmark in the genre that will have many longtime metal fans giddy. Thank Lucifer a metro Minnesota date is on the itinerary! We’re going to tear Station 4 apart!

Ghostface to release Ghost Deini the Great 

Posted in Concert Dates, Music News with tags , , , , , , on Friday, November 21, 2008 by Tim Althaus

ghostdeinithegreatme9Well, in a seemingly endless year of great releases it looks as if there is going to be another great compilation album from a Staten Island legend before it’s all said and done. Tony Starks aka Ghostface Killah will be releasing his first official Def Jam collection entitled Ghost Deini the Great. This collection will feature appearances by Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, Styles P, Ice Cube, Pusha T (Clipse), Raekwon & more. This album also (CD only) features live footage from Ghost’s trek on the Hip Hop Live! Tour, as well as rarities and remixes of some of your favorite Ghostface songs.

Ghost has had one hell of an illustrious solo career, he is highly regarded by many critics and this guy might be up there with the greatest emcees of all time. To me there really aren’t too many guys that can paint a picture like Ghost as well as be funny as hell at the same time. Go out and grab this shit because it promises to scorch the hell out of your speakers and break your neck.

Tracklisting:

01 Slept on Tony
02 Run [Remix ft. Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, Raekwon, and Freeway]
03 Kilo [Remix ft. Raekwon and Pusha T]

Blacklisted begins a U.S. tour today!

Posted in Concert Dates with tags , on Monday, October 20, 2008 by Ryan Buege

Philadelphia’s premiere hardcore group, Blacklisted, has announced plans to come to a city near you. The Deathwish Records’ band will be hitting the road for the month in support of their recent incredible Kurt Ballou-recorded album, Heavier Than Heaven Lonelier Than God. While I’ve personally considered Blacklisted to be at the top of the hardcore heap since they emerged, they’ve proven to be a band that consistently improves with each album release. In my humble opinion, their most recent release being their finest to date. Even if they didn’t already have a good enough back catalog to warrant checking out the show, seeing them perform the new songs will be the biggest reason to go out and raise your fist alongside them. The tour begins today, October 20th, in Baltimore and circles around the country before ending on November 19th in NYC; support will be provided by Have Heart, Ceremony, and Letdown.

10/20 – Baltimore, MD @ Sonar

Beastie Boys think you should vote

Posted in Concert Dates with tags , , , , on Thursday, October 16, 2008 by Ryan Buege

With the election getting close, it seems as if the Beastie Boys have smoothing to tell us in this political hotbed that we know as Minnesota. Beastie Boys have expanded their “Swing State Awareness 2008” pre-election tour to six of the biggest battleground states just days before the election, including a November 1st show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, MN.

If aggressiveness of both candidates at the debate last night didn’t show you, we have entered the final stretch of the race and all bets are off. With McCain and Obama viciously trading barbs back-and-forth, the tension between Republicans and Democrats has gotten extremely thick. In support of Barack Obama, the Beastie Boys will be playing several “Get-Out-The-Vote” shows in primary swing states in this years election.

The Beastie Boys have always advocated fighting for your rights, even if they were mainly your partying rights, and these shows are scheduled to let you know that they feel the same way about voting. Come to the show and reaffirm your stance with the classic Beastie Boys. And don’t forget to join the mob next week to push your candidate over the top (especially if you’re a supporting Obama).

The shows are:

10-27 Charlotte, NC – Amos’ Southend (w/ Sheryl Crow and Santogold)
10-28 Richmond, VA – Richmond Coliseum  (w/ Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, and Santogold)
10-29 Youngstown, OH – Chevrolet Center (w/ Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, and Ben Harper)
10-30 Dayton, OH – Hara Arena (w/ Sheryl Crow and Ben Harper)
11-01 Saint Paul, MN – Roy Wilkins Auditorium (w/ Ben Harper and Tenacious D)
11-02 Milwaukee, WI – U.S. Cellular Arena (w/ Ben Harper, Tenacious D, and Crosby & Nash)
