Cheap Trick – April Fools
Something can be said for longevity in rock n’ roll and Cheap Trick truly is one of rock’s longest running, American, bands. That alone is worth honoring their current existence over.

Phil Lynott – Fighting Irish
Bassist, Poet, Hero. By Irish Brian Kelly {There’s no secret March is the greatest month in the Roman calendar. Leprechauns, green beer, rioting, snow is melting, green beer again and green dreams for…

It’s not that some of us are waiting for Radiohead to return to simpler, band structured, live arrangements in the studio- it’s more like we’re tired of the Thom Yorke solo act. Radiohead has become 1-dimensional rock band, the kind of band they’ve dared not to become. “King of Limbs” continue…

Music fans may or may have not heard he’s calling it quits, retiring his collective of noisemakers that are better known as LCD Soundsystem, to focus on life after LCD. Retiring it now at the age of 41, Murphy should have no problem keeping busy running his record label, DFA Records, and producing other acts.
