Very exciting 90’s rock chick news! Alanis Morissette just dropped the news of a 25th anniversary tour for her seminal album “Jagged Little Pill.” How is that album 25 years old already??

No joke, I just confused Silverchair with Silversun Pickups. You can see my confusion. Both have ‘Silver’ in their names and they both have kind of Smashing Pumpkins kind of sound. Anyhoo…The Silversun Pickups just announced a 2019 tour across the U.S. to support their latest album, ‘Widow’s Weeds.’ The first of 12 shows will kick off June 2 in...
Ah, this one takes me back to my late teens/early 20’s at the Vans Warped Tour at The World in Chicago. That also happens to remind me that I’m super old and The World has changed names like 5 times and Vans Warped Tour is no more (sad face). Taking Back Sunday recently announced that they will be celebrating their...

To keep the party going, Weezer announced their follow up to 2017’s album, Pacific Daydream with their long-awaited ‘Black Album.” The album won’t be...
I’m pretty sure that we can all agree that Billy Corgan is kind of an odd dude. Great music…kinda odd.

Billy along with James Iha AND Jimmy Chamberlin...

Without doubt, probably the greatest live show I’ve ever seen was Echo & The Bunnymen at the Metro in Chicago. * Much to my excitement, they will be heading out on tour again this summer with the Violent Femmes for a co-headlining North American tour. This 11 city tour will kick off July 12 in San Antonio, TX and will...
This one I’m totally pumped about! My absolute favorite 90’s alt. rock chick (sorry Dolores and Courtney) just announced that she will be hitting the road this fall! Shirley Manson and her band Garbage will go out on tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their smash album, ‘Version 2.0’ (Related, OMG, I clearly remember the album coming out and...
For good reasons, indie rock band Sir Sly is currently getting more and more air play on the radios. They are seriously good. Now they have announced more 2018 tour dates for their upcoming tour in support of their new album, ‘Don’t You Worry, Honey.’ The tour kicks off June 6 in Grand Rapids, MI and will wrap up July...
