Headlining the Kos-Chella festival @ the 9:30?! I'll be snapping up some of those 'unannounced' tickets @ tickets.com
A couple shots of live PJ this summer would be pretty fine. I probably saw 200 bands last year (including Radiohead, Pixies, TVOTR, DBT, Bowie, Wilco, Prince, Interpol and MANY others @ SXSW, Coachella, Curiosa etc.) but none were better than Pearl Jam. For my $$ and for a litany of reasons - They are the best thing out there.
This from Rolling Stone on-line:
Pearl Jam are almost finished with their follow-up to 2002's Riot Act. The band plans to spend the next three weeks in the studio recording vocals and mixing. If all goes according to plan, the yet-to-be-titled disc could be released as early as May. "There's a lot more up-tempo stuff," says drummer Matt Cameron. "It's a lot more rockin' than our last one." Song titles like "Severed Hand," "Worldwide Suicide" and "2x4" seem to reflect that harder edge. Though the track listing has not been finalized, other candidates include "Marker" and "Cold Concession."
Cameron, who teamed with guitarist Mike McCready on the track "Unemployable," characterizes the sessions as more collaborative. "We reworked everything together in the studio," he says. "It's a really healthy environment -- everyone really just wants to dig in and make the songs as good as they can be."
Pearl Jam hope to support the new record with a summer tour.
