I'm not sure what else I can say to convince the planet that this is its greatest currently functioning rock band, so I'll just let the music do the talking instead. Click here for 40 minute set from Japan benefit show.

dUg Pinnick (King's X) and Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam) have been trying to get their (joint) musical act together for the better part of 15 years now. As musicians in two very hard working bands, however, little more than small snatches of time could ever be cobbled together. Both men very much wanted to do it, … Continue reading Tres Mts. – Stubbs – Austin, Tex. – SXSW, Mar. 19, 2011
Bob Geldof evidently gave the keynote address at SXSW this year. I didn't know this despite being there because I was there to find the vitality in music he evidently thinks is a thing of the past.

When will the world awaken to the greatness in its midst? Seriously. Most bands couldn't rock like this even plugged in if you gave them 1,000 years to figure out how to do it. Why is this? Because you can't figure out how to rock. Call it the 'x-factor, call it 'it'. Call it whatever … Continue reading Michael Monroe – LIVE! – acoustic studio set
Here you go folks. Those of weaker constitutions might want to get their ear plugs out. It rocks.
The Supersuckers, the Greatest Rock n' Roll Band in the world, have been on a European tour this winter opening for a reconstituted version of Thin Lizzy. Reports are the action on stage has been predictably rocktastic. Based on this pic, however, some pretty marvelous happenings have also been taking place in the wings.
