Phoenix Announce First Live Dates For 2013

Parisian indie poppers Phoenix are hitting the road again! Yay!

But they don’t have any dates scheduled for the United States – continental, contiguous, or otherwise – yet! Boo!

Let me explain. The French band hasn’t played live for over two years since they wrapped their support tour for their breakthrough album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. It was downtime well deserved. In the interim, Thomas Mars had a baby with wife Sofia Coppola. The band did some movie scoring. Aside from that, little news trickled out of Phoenix’s camp.

But now Phoenix is gearing up for the release of …

Emmure Robbed In Germany; Planning DVD Release

Emmure have been touring the world relentlessly in 2012, and they currently find themselves in Germany where they were recent victims of a somewhat large-scale thievery. You can read a full message from the band below, but those seeking a “tl;dr” version should know the band has apparently been working on a DVD chronicling the journeys and the camera being used to capture said moments was stolen sometime earlier tonight during their performance in Oberhausen. If you have any information, or if you’re the asshole responsible, please let the band know.

Here’s the statement that was posted to Facebook earlier …

51 Concertgoers Injured By Lightning Bolt During Germany Music Festival

We are devastated to hear about the lightning strike that injured 51 people at this weekend’s With Full Force Festival in Roitzschjora, Germany. Bands headlining the show were Soulfly, Machine Head, Flogging Molly and Pennywise.

Nine people sustained serious injuries when a single lightning bolt struck a mast at the eastern German festival. This single bolt of lightning was powerful enough to lift people up and send them flying, destroyed various tents, and caused the venue to flood with huge mud puddles. UNREAL.

We wish a speedy recovery to the injured fans at the festival.

Our German readers were able to witness a pretty badass performance earlier this and week and now, thanks again to the power of Youtube, we can be lazy on a Saturday and enjoy it too.
