Original Pink Spiders Lineup To Reunite?

Hey Everyone!
So rumors have been running wild that the original Pink Spiders lineup may be working together once more! I dont know how many of you are familiar with these guys, but if you arent PLEASE I urge you to give them a listen. Their music is seriously amazing. Kind of a retro fitted brand of pop punk... lots of catchy melodies. Hard not to fall in love with it. Anyways, the original lineup disbanded a couple years back around the time they released "Sweat It Out". The album was recorded with the original band, but the members soon departed due to royalty fee issues and left Matt Friction as the only founding member. Soon after, Matt announced a longterm hiatus so he could focus on his side project, Matt Friction and the Cheap Shots.

Matt announced however, that the original line would possibly be getting back together. Via myspace, he said that the three had been playing together and that talks of tours and albums could follow!


For a fan, this is definitely exciting news :) How about you guys? Excited?

Bamboozle Expect Boom In Ticket Sales With Upcoming Announcement

Hey Everyone!

So rumor has it that the New York Times will be announcing some new acts scheduled to join the already astonishing lineup of the 2010 New Jersey Bamboozle Festival. The three day concert spectacular, already slated to host acts like Paramore and Weezer, is now said to be bringing rising stars Ke$ha and Drake into the mix. With a mega star lineup that crosses over a variety of genres, who can blame them for expecting a rapid growth in ticket sales?

What do you think of this announcement? If its true, would you be more inclined to go?

Could be interesting

No, they're going to make you work for it. Here is a copy of their post... these 33 hints SOMEHOW relate back to the first 33 bands confirmed to play. See if you can figure out any of the names...

If you figure any of them out, post it in the comments! I've figured out a few based on fanboard discussions and digging up confirmations but for the most part they are nearly impossible. As a student with a life and a job, I cant say I really have time to do serious investigative work on these nonsense clues haha.

Song of the Day: Heaven Can Wait by We The Kings... just a catchy pop punk tune by a few boys from Bradenton, Florida. Yes, I realize most of their fans are younger, but I don't care. I've seen these guys play live and they are incredible! Very talented, great sound and catchy music.
