Depeche Mode Front man Dave Gahan has confirmed he will be releasing his sophomore solo disc, a follow-up to 2003's Paper Monsters. The album is expected to be in stores by the fall.
After collaborating with Jay-Z, on the only track really worth listening from HOV's last record, Coldplay's Chris Martin will be jammin with Kanye West on West's upcoming Graduation disc. Martin has co-written and will sing on two songs, including the title track. Cant wait to hear this experiment.
The Smashing Pumpkins, well just 1/2 of the Pumpkins with two new players filling in for James Iha and D'Arcy, will be hitting the road this summer.

Quick News
Pink Floyd has come together again...ok maybe not, just really wishful thinking. All four living members of the band paid tribute to late member Syd Barrett, who passed away last year. Everyone of the existing members David Gilmore, drummer Nick Mason and keyboard player Rick Wright took the stage together. While Rodger Waters decided to play solo and refused to join his former band mates...kind of odd to say the least. Damon Albarn, Chrissie Hynde and Robyn Hitchcock also performed at the tribute show which took play May 10 in London.
Also on the same night in London, guitar aficionado and tour-de-force Prince was brutally attacked on stage by a female fan. She jumped on stage while he was performing and tackled the Purple One himself down to the ground. She was quickly detained.
In non-music or whats going on in London news...NBC has officially pulled the plug on my favorite TV show on basic cable, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. After months of speculation, they have yanked the Aaron Sorkin show from its network. Yet, for the Studio 60 fans out there, the show is coming to DVD this summer as well as the remaining episodes set to air May 24.

Live Review- The Bravery at Hard Rock
They looked like five guys that just stepped out of a GQ magazine, rather than an issue of Rolling Stone, but the SoHo/Bowery natives known to the world at The Bravery, took the stage last night at New York's Hard Rock Cafe and turned it into Studio 54. Opening with "Fearless," The Bravery had to be just that- considering they were the headlining act for Rolling Stone Magazines 40th Birthday bash sponsored by Heineken, Hanes, Helio, Stoli and these Russian chicks giving out free massages. Yet, with the heavy corporate audience and an invite only party, The Bravery didn't seem to give a shit who was listening or knew any of the lyrics as long as everyone was dancing...and dancing they were. The Bravery stomped through tracks off their acclaimed self-titled debut, and then began to break out new tracks from their forthcoming record The Sun and The Moon, and I might add the new songs sound really good. This being the 4th of secret shows in NYC this week for the band and they didn't show no signs of stopping. The highlight of the evening came when their break out single "An Honest Mistake" was played, the corporate audience seemed to lose any professional inhibitions they may have had and went loose. All in all a great show and a great night, The Bravery are doing a small headlining tour till July then they link up with Incubus and hit the road with my favorite SoCal rockers. Whoever they are playing with, go and don't forget your dancing shoes.
