Bumblefoot Releases Asia Cover

Bumblefoot has released a cover of the Asia track "Only Time Will Tell." The song is on the EP Barefoot 3. I dig it for some new Friday music.

Sebastian Bach and Chris Jericho Twitter Feud 

Sebastian Bach and Chris Jericho had a little Twitter fight this morning. It seems Bach believes Jericho sings with backing tapes. He also thinks that Jericho is imitating him, right down to the famous mane of hair. This made Jericho mad. Fans jumped in, supporting each singer of course. The early morning feud was messy. I was watching it while scrolling in bed, shaking my head and enjoying the free entertainment. 

 

 

 


If all this wasn't enough, Bach also dropped a Tweet about Covid19 and Donald Trump. The tweet below went viral and as of this post, "Sebastian Bach" was a top trending topic in America. Bach picked up thousands of new followers as a result.

Bush Announce New Album and Livestream Concert

From my inbox:

Los Angeles (July 14, 2020) – On Saturday, July 18, music fans worldwide who are tired of intimate bedroom livestream performances can experience rock ‘n’ roll the way it should be with a special, one-night only, free full production virtual arena show by iconic multi-platinum rock band BUSH.


The event, which kicks off at 9pm EDT/6pm PDT on BushOfficial.com, is a celebration in honor of the release of BUSH’s forthcoming eighth studio album The Kingdom available everywhere Friday, July 17.

The concert will be produced by FanTracks, a new livestreaming and fan engagement platform. A departure from models that digitally mimic traditional ticketing approaches, FanTracks offers music lovers access to high-quality, carefully curated and professionally produced live shows as part of a low-fee subscription, sharing the revenue with artists. Its proprietary technology creates a new world of virtual music and fan experiences, from a range of group chat modes, to hosted “hang out” spaces and parties, to interactive features that bring musicians and music lovers together. As one of their free debut launch events, FanTracks have promised to deliver a groundbreaking livestream experience to BUSH fans around the world. 


Purchase 'The Kingdom' and Support BBG!

 

During the show, viewers will be able to purchase The Kingdom at a special discounted price and will also receive two exclusive non-album bonus tracks. Fifty cents from each record sold during the livestream will be donated to When We All Vote, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization on a mission to increase participation in every election. BUSH will match the total donated by fans to help the cause.

John Corabi Announces Concert (For This Month!) 

Apparently there are a few places where you can see live music in the age of Covid and our Summer of No Fun. John Corabi will perform a live show at the Firehouse BBQ and Blues in Richmond, Indiana on July 25. That is probably an hour or so from my home. Granted, you won't find me in the crowd of this show - especially since Ohio is now on an upswing of infections and most folks will be Buckeyes in attendance - but I guess this is nice for those who want to get out. Plus it gives the musicians a chance to make some money. Other upcoming shows at this venue include Joel Hoekstra with Brandon Gibbs and Eric Martin and P.J. Farley. Tickets for the Corabi show are $30.
