British rockers Bush are back on tour to promote their sixth studio Man on the Run (Zuma Rock/BMG). The record marks the band’s second studio album to be recorded under its current incarnation (Gavin Rossdale, Robin Goodridge, Chris Traynor, Corey Britz), which reformed in 2010 after an eight-year hiatus…. fueled by 20th Anniversary of their 6x multi-platinum debut record Sixteen Stone.

I absolutely loved Matt Costa‘s 2013 self-titled album. The album was recorded and produced by Belle & Sebastian fame Tony Doogan, and you can hear hints of pop rock sound in the record. Well I love it, even if the sound may be a slight departure from what he’s normally known for.
Costa is currently opening up for all the US shows with G. Love & Special Sauce. We caught the band at 80/35 Festival in 2009 and noted that he ended his set with their most popular song “Cold Beverages”.
G. Love’s new record is called Sugar and it came out April 2014 via Brushfire Records/Universal.

I know he’s dropped the ‘Cougar’ part of his name, but John Mellencamp will forever be known to me as John Cougar Mellencamp. I guess I read that he never liked the ‘cougar’ name because it made him sound like he’s a hillbilly… but that name ‘hurts so good’!
Anyway, the last I heard from his ‘camp’, was that his latest album Plain Spoken was released September 23, 2014…. his 22nd LP and his first for Republic Records.
Carlene Carter set to open his live shows.
