For the past few years, Matthew Sweet has been celebrating his classic ‘90s release Girlfriend with a series of full album performances. The shows which initially came about to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album’s release proved that Girlfriend remains one of the more well-crafted releases from the decade. It holds up well, which […]

Lion’s Den!
I never thought I’d hear this one outside of listening to it on my copy of Tracks, so I was severely geeked to see (well, virtually anyway) Bruce Springsteen pull out “Lion’s Den” last night at the first MSG show. Now that they appear to have worked up a nice arrangement for the band, I […]
Good News From Cleveland: Fountains Of Wayne Coming To The Beachland
Hasn’t it been way too long since Fountains of Wayne played a Cleveland show? The folks at the Beachland Ballroom apparently must agree with that thought, because they’ve booked FOW for a Ballroom show on Tuesday, April 24th. [Details of which were shared mere minutes ago in their fine email newsletter which you should be […]
Van Halen to tour in 2012.
For real, apparently. New album? Details on that remain in the “TBA” category. With both VH and Springsteen on the road, it’s going to be an expensive year!

So what’s Bruce Hornsby up to right now, anyway? And better yet, what are his plans for this summer? In a recent radio interview, Hornsby covered both subjects, talking about his current (and long-awaited) debut musical SCKBSTD and also his touring plans for the summer. The first 45 minutes of the interview will net you […]
Bob Seger….TOUR!
Man, that took less time than waiting for a new album! Thanks to Jefito for the tip – initial details have been released and Mr. Seger will indeed hit the road starting in March, according to Rolling Stone: One day after dropping a strong hint on his website, Bob Seger has officially announced plans for […]
Bob Seger on tour?
I heard rumors to that effect towards the end of last year (“rumors” from a well placed source close to the band) and if you look at the video recently posted on Bob Seger’s homepage, it’s not too hard to connect the dots. The video includes a montage of classic Seger images and a graphic […]
The ATV Interview: Eric Johnson
Austin-based guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson has been one of my favorite guitar players for a long time and it’s always a pleasure anytime that I get a chance to catch him in concert. Johnson is currently in the midst of a few different projects, including a newly completed solo CD called Up Close that features […]
…and speaking of The Wall
Here’s some professionally shot footage from the opening night of the tour + an interview with Roger Waters himself. And while we’re at it, here are some thoughts regarding the new tour, written by our friend Matthew Wilkening (from this week’s Scene Magazine). Having nothing to do with Roger Waters, if you’re still in the […]
