The Gathering’s “Mandylion” lineup, vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen, bassist Hugo Prinsen Geerligs, keyboardist Frank Boeijen, drummer Hans Rutten, guitarist René Rutten, and guitarist Jelmer Wiersma, will be playing their last anniversary show at AFAS Live in Amsterdam, NET on January 16. The set will also find them celebrating “Nighttime Birds.”
The group commented:
“On Saturday, January 16, 2027, we will perform an exclusive show at AFAS Live in Amsterdam to conclude our 30th anniversary tour for ‘Mandylion.’ After 29 shows around the world with the original lineup, this will be the final celebration of this special tour.
During this evening, we will not only celebrate ‘Mandylion,’ but also shine a spotlight on ‘Nighttime Birds,’ which will likewise mark its 30th anniversary in 2027. With ‘Nighttime Birds,’ we continued the musical journey that began with ‘Mandylion.’ The two albums are inextricably linked and together represent an important chapter in our creative evolution as a band. The songs on these records still hold a special meaning for us—and for many of you.
This will be a unique evening dedicated to both albums and the journey we have shared with you over the past 30 years.
Tickets go on sale Friday, June 19 at 10:00 AM.
Together, we will make it an unforgettable night!”
Hoobastank have premiered a new video for their new song “How Do You Sleep?.” You can check that out below:
During a recent interview with 93X, A Perfect Circle guitarist Billy Howerdel discussed the band’s plans for new music beyond their recent single “Starless.” According to him, “there’s more underway.”
Howerdel said the following:
“There’s more [music] underway. And in the spirit of soft deadlines, I’m not gonna give you the date, but we’re working toward something.”
He continued:
“We’re on tour. It’s hard to get solid things done when you’re out here. I sometimes optimistically think that’s gonna happen, and, like today, we’re six shows in, so we’re about two weeks in, and this is the first day I really slept, even though I might not look like it. I just slept, went to the gym, ate a meal, got on with you, and it’s not been like that. So to get real cracking on to the new album, it’s gonna be… I need a couple more of these days to line up over the next tour.”
He also added the following about his working relationship with vocalist Maynard James Keenan:
“I feel more creative with him [than I do with other musicians]. I don’t know. I mean, you’d have to ask Maynard, but I feel like when it’s time to work, it’s time to work for him. Or it’s time to fuck around and just shoot the shit, then that’s what we’re gonna do then. But when it’s time to work, we’re kind of in it. And it’s not super serious all the time, but it’s focused. And he’s got a great work ethic. I don’t know anyone — I mean, he’s at least in the top three hardest-working people I know that have real vision, conviction, a vision that he’s gonna execute and be tenacious about it. And he’s like that with music. Once the train starts rolling, it, it’s rolling. Then that feels good. I don’t anticipate it going like, ‘Eh, I don’t know. This is kind of softly not going the way we want it to be.’ No, we’re gonna figure it out. We’re gonna set soft deadlines, which I guess they can be hard deadlines, but our soft deadlines are pretty intense. They’re meant to be hit. Anything could happen, but when we’re underway, it just feels, like, ‘Okay, we’re moving in the right direction.’ Now, you can’t force the greatest idea to come out, but you can get yourself motivated to go, ‘If I don’t hit this deadline, then bad shit’s gonna happen.’ So it’s a fire lit under your ass.”

It looks like Alex Varkatzas (Dead Icarus, ex-Atreyu) is set to become a firefighter. The frontman recently completed his training for the career.
Varkatzas commented:
“@mvcfireacademy54 graduation today. Grateful for my friends and family coming. I couldn’t have done this without their love and support. We have been working hard since pre academy in Jan. Up @ 4am, PT @ 5:30am usually not home til around 6pm everyday, mon-fri for 16 weeks. Countless hours of studying, training and drills has led up to today and to be honest this is just the start. There is a lot i want to say but i don’t know how to sum it all up. I’ll leave you with this….
Don’t ever give up on yourself. Losing is not the same thing as failing and winning doesn’t teach half the lessons that losing does. Be a student of life. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and when you falter , get up and just keep going. The only way to truly fail is to quit. I wish you all peace and power.”
Mothica has released a lo-fi version of her latest EP “Somewhere In Between.” The reimagined effort, which is titled “Somewhere In Between (mothicorp’s lofi breakroom beats),” features tracks with vocals and instrumentals. A limited edition cassette can be pre-ordered HERE. Mothica commented:
“’Somewhere In Between’ has always lived in an emotional and liminal space for me. Turning these songs into lofi remixes with Nathan Miller only felt natural. I wanted them to feel like memories you revisit at 2am, softer, dreamier and a little haunted. I’m so excited to have these on a cassette designed by Madison Schubert so my fans can feel the nostalgia in this sound even more.”
