Meet EJECTFFWD

EJECTFFWD is a new duo made up of BBG! longtime friend Stephen Kilkenny and drummer/producer Seth Rausch. Seth happens to be Carrie Underwood's touring drummer, too! Stephen is the singer for Major Tom, now on hiatus because of this new project.

The duo started working on music together in 2021. Now they have a teaser for their first official single called "Southern Country Girls" and it sounds a lot like 90s-era Def Leppard. The compete song will come out April 9 via iTunes.

I Sure Hope Not - Motley Edition

I saw Nikki Sixx's online comments about upcoming Motley Crue music the other day and I sort of wrote it off as sarcasm. Media keeps picking up the Tweet (X?) below and taking it for gospel so maybe it really is true. (Insert shrug emoji here for good measure).

I know Beyonce just released a country album and good for her I suppose. That said, the last thing I want (or need!) is a Motley Crue country-hip hop fusion album. Just give me some new rock and call it a day!

New Crüe coming up right around the corner. People who have heard it say it’s a powerful cross between country and hip hop.

Michael Hutchence - 'One Way,' New Single

You read that headline correctly. There's a new(ish) single from Michael Hutchence called "One Way."

Hutchence was the lead singer of INXS and died back in 1997. The vocals were leftover from a recording session before Hutchence died and producer and audio engineer Danny Saber remixed and created the track. According to the information online, the track took about two decades to finish. The song was used for a documentary and now can be purchased on vinyl. Amazing.

KISS Sell Catalog And More

It's a deal worth $300 million. KISS has sold its catalog, name and likeness to Pophouse Entertainment.

Gene Simmons is spinning the deal as a "collaboration" but seems like KISS no longer has control over their branding and marketing (but we will see). The deal is part of the move that will let KISS have avatar-based concerts starting in a few years. It will be interesting to see how these catalog deals change music as time marches forward. Deals such as this one mean that KISS will exist in some form or another for a really long time.

That is cool - but - it will be interesting to see how A.I. changes everything music-related. Especially for the classic bands we love.

Tyketto Announces UK Tour

This is an interesting package: Tyketto will hit the road in the UK with Little Caesar. Tickets on sale soon. Probably expecting too much to get some US dates of the package.

Rocklahoma 2024 Lineup Announced

As promised yesterday, here is the Rocklahoma lineup for this year. Headliners include Slipknot, Disturbed, Evanescence, A Day To Remember and Avenged Sevenfold. In a hat tip to the old way of Rocklahoma, bands like Winger and Faster Pussycat are on the bill, too. Ticket sales start soon.

Rocklahoma Now Part Of DWP (I Guess)

Assuming this isn't an April Fool's Day joke - and it doesn't seem to be - Rocklahoma is now part of the Danny Winner Presents festival family. DWP basically owns all the big American rock festivals now, so the move isn't surprising at all.

The lineup drops tomorrow and presumably it will be close to Welcome to Rockville or Sonic Temple. The change also likely means higher ticket prices, but we will know soon enough I suppose. Really curious to see the Rocklahoma headliners now.
