Auf Der Maur — Auf Der Maur

When word got out that Melissa Auf Der Maur enlisted folks like Josh Homme, Eric Erlandson and James Iha to work on a solo album that would cross Kyuss and The Smiths, crowning her the new alt.rock queen seemed a mere formality. Unfortunately, this promising collection has failed in a heartbreaking number of ways. As a vocalist, MADM’s delivery...

Despite this, Katy Perry's hooters are apparently too racy for the show. The Dandy Warhols have announced a huge North American fall tour. Doucheyness is contagious,...

Melissa Auf Der Maur Gets Her Viking Space Rock On

I can't remember whether the couple in the corner next to me at the Horseshoe Tavern had finished practically (or actually) having sex with each other by the time Melissa Auf Der Maur took the stage at 11 p.m. on Friday (March 12) night.
