  • Rush Reportedly Planning Las Vegas Sphere Residency

    According to The Sun, Rush are currently planning a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, NV. The news was reportedly confirmed by SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk as well. A source told The Sun the following:

    “Rush has an enormous audience across North America.

Talks have been secretly going for now for a while, but the word is that contracts could be locked down in the next couple of weeks.”

  • Crowbar Cancel European Tour

    Crowbar have cancelled their summer European tour. The dates were scrapped as frontman Kirk Windstein continues to deal with a bilateral synovial cyst.

    Windstein commented:

    “Hey, everybody. Kirk Windstein from Crowbar here, and I have an announcement to make. As everybody knows, or most fans know, I had to perform sitting down last year during the Crowbar/Eyegategod U.S. tour. And I have a bilateral synovial cyst on my spine that is beginning to flare up again and it’s giving me a lot of problems. To cut straight to the point, it’s acting up and has been for a couple of weeks now, so I begin physical therapy tomorrow morning.

    Unfortunately, we have to cancel this upcoming European tour. I have been touring for 36 years, and I’ve never canceled a tour. But due to my physical health at this point, I’m unable to get on plane flights and ride in the van for two weeks and catch two flights home. So I do apologize, and I understand y’all will be disappointed, understandably, but we’re gonna do everything we can to make up these shows. We’re not rescheduling the tour, but just to make up these cities next year when we’re over in Europe with Crowbar.

    So thank y’all for understanding and all the best.”

  • Billy Keeton Announces New Band Skrapegoat

    Billy Keeton has announced the launch of his new project Skrapegoat. This news comes after the frontman was hit with a cease and desist after attempting to resurrect Skrape.

    The following press release was issued:

    “Billy Keeton Introduces SKRAPEGOAT

    Earlier this year, Billy Keeton announced his plans to revive the SKRAPE brand and return to the stage. The response made one thing abundantly clear: the connection fans had with this music had never faded.

    The announcement was met with an enthusiastic response from longtime supporters eager to hear Billy‘s unmistakable voice once again. Although the original announcement had only a brief opportunity to reach fans, the excitement surrounding the existing catalog and the promise of new music confirmed one thing: This project deserved to move forward.

    As the vision continued to take shape, legal objections from certain members of the original lineup brought the project to an unexpected standstill. Months were spent working toward a resolution.

    When it became clear there was no immediate end in sight, the decision was made to move forward under a new identity.

    More than a new name, SKRAPEGOAT represents the next evolution of Billy Keeton‘s creative journey. Built around Billy‘s unmistakable voice and a powerful new lineup, the project embraces the music fans have connected with for years while opening the door to an exciting new era of original material.

    “When I announced this project, I honestly didn’t know what to expect,” says Billy Keeton.

    “The response reminded me how much these songs still mean to people, and that meant everything to me. Once it became clear certain people wanted to take the focus away from the music, we had a decision to make. We could look backward, or build something new. We chose to keep moving forward, and I’m even more excited about SKRAPEGOAT than when this all started.”

    SKRAPEGOAT isn’t about replacing the past.

    It’s about honoring it while building something even greater for the future.

    The next chapter starts now.

    Please Note: The original SKRAPE pages have been temporarily reactivated so longtime followers could see this announcement.

    @skrapegoat will be the official home for all news, music, tour dates, and future announcements. The original SKRAPE pages will be deactivated again in the coming days.”

    Vomit Forth’s van recently broke down while on tour near Mansfield, OH. You can help the band out by purchasing merch HERE.

    The group initially said th following:

    “Hey everyone.

    Our van broke down two days into our tour with Corpse Pile. The fan clutch exploded and punctured the radiator & intercooler, among a locked idler and shredded belts.

    We’re currently stuck in Mansfield, OH til lord knows how long. The repair bill is likely to be pretty expensive so we’ve uploaded all of our tour merch online in an effort to help cushion the costs. If you can find it in your heart to pick up a t-shirt, it’d mean the world. Quite a few designs to choose from. Shipping as soon as we find our way back home.

    Love you guys.”

    They later added:

    “Sooooo our van is pretty much done. We had to drop our upcoming dates with @corpsepiletxdm and have a very expensive repair coming up. We are posting our new big cartel with all of our merch for sale. We are not the type of band to ask for hand outs so we would always rather offer something up for support. If you can find it in your heart to buy a shirt it would really help us. Please share this post with the link in our bio. Thank you all so much. Orders will ship as soon as we can find a way home. We don’t know when that will be at the moment but will keep you all updated.”
