Fucked Up recently performed David Comes To Life's "Queen Of Hearts" with Cults' Madeline Follin at Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party. It was the first time they'd ever done the song properly live, since Follin appears on the studio version of the tune, but hasn't appeared on stage with the band to do it live yet. Morrissey apparently...

The Jimmy Swift Band have broken up. But don't cry! Vocalist Craig Mercer and keyboardist Aaron Collier are still making music as Scientists Of Sound and are touring in support of their new Wealth & Hellness album. M83's next album is going to be a double LP. It's going to be about dreams. Makes sense, since I fall asleep while listening to...

Gogol Bordello, Primus Touring Together

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 3, 2010 11:56 am
Gogol Bordello and Primus both have infectious, absolutely insane frontmen in Eugene Hutz and Les Claypool, and both bands combine very different musical genres. So we guess it was only a matter of time before the two acts toured together. They'll do that in August after Gogol Bordello return from a European club and festival tour, which they're...

The Ten Funniest Dudes In Rock

Stand up comedy and rock 'n' roll are a lot alike. George Carlin was raging against the machine long before Zack De La Rocha and Tom Morello weren't doing what you told them. Mitch Hedberg rocked the mic with an original delivery that was stripped down and raw, much like a punk rock band out of Queens, N.Y. Just as stand up comedians can...

OK, if you're any kind of Les Claypool fan, you already know of the juggernaut-thumbed bassist's teenaged fascination with our own Canadian monster of the bass, Geddy Lee. But as ChartAttack found out from a sit-down with Claypool before his sold-out gig at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre, he also has admiration for another Canadian icon we...

in
By Tim Melton (CHARTattack) December 17, 2004 2:30 pm
With the recent release of a live tour DVD called Hallucino-Genetics, Primus fans are once again getting all bent out of shape about Les Claypool and company's freak-jam antics. With that in mind, we tracked down Claypool to get a little glimpse into what's been making the bass player tick lately. ChartAttack: You just played with Bernie...

By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) November 25, 2003 5:30 pm
After four years, that "entirely sucky" band Primus are finally back. Burnt out from 15 years without a break, the trio went on hiatus right after the release of 1999's Antipop. They return this month with a DVD/CD Animals Should Try Not To Act Like People (every Primus video you never wanted and five new songs) and the Tour De Fromage...
