Some random news this drizzly afternoon(hooray for ice rain!).
U2 will miss the remaining ten dates on their current world tour(all in the Asian-Pacific area) due to a family illness.
Iconic Canadian coffee joint Tim Hortons is opening a store in - steady now - Afghanistan, to serve Canadian troops serving in the region. That is awesome.
Floodgate Records, having just lost Forever Changed, never stop signing bands anyway, keeping it up with Austin, Texas's Hundred Year Storm. Hello From The Children of Planet Earth will be out in late summer.
Strikefirst Records has signed Today Forever(United Kingdom) and Within(Chattanooga, Tennessee). Go listen to them someplace.
Pigeon John is in Ottawa March 29th at the New Capital Music Hall, opening up for Blackalicious. How hot is that? I'm all over this show.
