In addition to announcing the dates for the Jagermeister Music Tour, Disturbed have also announced that they will play a show at New York's famed CBGB club on September 20, the day of their new album's release. Tickets for this special event will only be available through the band’s official fan Web site, thedisturbedones.com, and WXRK (K-ROCK)/ New York, which is sponsoring the show. Disturbed will headline the Jagermeister tour from November 4 to December 22 with C.O.C. opening. Meanwhile, be on the lookout for FMQB's radio special A Double Dose Of Disturbed that will be airing on radio stations nationwide from September 16 to 20. Part one features a Disturbed retrospective with the band discussing their roots, and part two features a world premiere of the new album, Ten Thousand Fists.
A two-disc DVD commemorating the 10th anniversary of Ozzfest will hit store shelves on November 22. The set, dubbed Ozzfest Xth Anniversary, will feature performance footage from some of the bands on this year's tour, as well as interviews with Ozzfest performers of the past. There will also be a companion CD of live tracks recorded at various stops along the route, but it is not yet confirmed which bands will be included.
MTV.com reports that Blink-182's Mark Hoppus is launching a 20-minute bi-weekly podcast series called Hi, My Name Is Mark, which will be found on the Apple Web site. The premiere episode contains songs by Motion City Soundtrack and the Descendents, an interview with American Analog Set and running commentary from Hoppus. "The whole thing is very Wayne's World," says Hoppus. "The show feels like at any second the wheels may fall off."
Britain's NME says that The Strokes have given their third album a tentative title of First Impressions Of Earth, and the the first single will be called "Juice Box." The album is due in early 2006. Singer Julian Casablancas told NME, "The album's kind of about how someone from outer space would objectively view things happening on earth." Once the disc is complete, The Strokes will go out on their first tour in a year. Dates have already been announced for October in South America, with the band visiting Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Finnish quintet H.I.M. will release their Sire Records debut, Dark Light, on September 27. The album will be available in numerous packaging options, including the traditional jewel box CD, a special Internet-only version featuring two bonus tracks, and a limited edition special package that features handwritten lyric sheets, special artwork and one bonus track. The band has also announced a headlining U.S. run that will begin on October 5 in Portland, OR and run through November 18 in New York City. H.I.M.'s first single, "Wings Of A Butterfly," is at radio now.
More details about Santana's upcoming album, All That I Am, have emerged. The first single, "I'm Feeling You" featuring Michelle Branch, already is available on iTunes. Now, the full tracklist is posted on Santana's Web site, revealing that OutKast's Big Boi and Mary J. Blige are featured on the track "My Man," Steven Tyler sings on "Just Feel Better," Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am joins in with "I Am Somebody," and Joss Stone and Sean Paul duet on "Cry Baby Cry." All That I Am also features guest appearances from Kirk Hammett, Los Lonely Boys and Bo Bice. The album is due in stores on November 1.
Victory Records artist Straylight Run will release Prepare To Be Wrong, a six-song EP, on October 4. The band will then tour with Simple Plan from October 22 through November 19, with Plain White Tees opening. Singer/multi-instrumentalist John Nolan says, "The upcoming tour with Simple Plan will be our first chance to perform a lot of these new songs for the first time. It's going to be really amazing to play these brand new songs that are still so fresh for us; we will be playing some of the biggest shows we have ever played in our career."
HMV Canada has pulled the entire Bob Dylan catalog from its stores to protest the artist's deal to sell his latest album, Bob Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962, exclusively at Starbucks, according to Toronto's Globe and Mail. The disc went on sale August 30 at Starbucks outlets in the U.S. and Canada, and the coffee retailer has exclusive rights to the CD for 18 months before it's available at regular stores. HMV Canada's President Humphrey Kadaner told the Globe and Mail that his company "will not be actively stocking, displaying nor promoting Dylan." So far, HMV's U.S. stores have not followed suit, but E! Online notes that other music retailers such as Virgin and Tower are on the record as intensely disliking deals such as these with retail giants like Best Buy and Starbucks.
