Here's some music news that's come across news.weheartmusic.com.
Are you interested in having your press release/announcements published
there? Please email me for our contact information. If I find a
music-related new interesting, I will compile them in my weekly news
roundup here.
Har Mar Superstar's "Dark Touches"
harmarsuperstar.com ♥ myspace.com/harmarstar
Har Mar Mall - I mean Superstar - is back, after five years of absent since 2004's The Handler... Which did extremely well in the UK (check out the free track, "DUI", from The Handler album).
Even though he's been gone, he's actually been doing behind the scene sort of thing by writing music for other people: The Cheetah Girls, Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Osbourne, and Ben Adams. When one of his song, "Tall Boy" was rejected by Britney Spears' management, he decided record and release it under his own album.
So, Dark Touches will be out October 13th
on Dilettante Recordings. I am happy to let you know we have a review
copy in house, and I will be making sure it gets reviewed prior to the
release date.
In the meantime, here is a drawing of the first time I saw this 90% naked man on stage, sweating, crying, thrusting his pelvis in my direction.
PS, I have here also that Har Mar will be in a Hollywood movie starring Ellen Page (Juno) and Ali Shawkat called Whip It, directed by Drew Barrymore (who also happened to produce one of my favorite movie called Donnie Darko).
Nico Vega to Tour with Placebo

I saw Nico Vega near the end of 2007. They were first of three bands, which I wrote was "the best (performance-wise)", simply because they had such energy and showmanship. Particularly impressed with Aja's leotard outfit and her barefooted-ness.
I knew they were going to be special, but who would figure they will be doing so much (and so well!)? The latest report I have is that they are going to be opening up for Placebo, plus on top of that, their song "Beast" featured in the horror movie called "The Collector" (I hope it's not based on the book by John Fowles I read when I was younger).
Tour Dates
Daryl Hall and Smokey Robinson

I took a look at Hall's website, he's really got this "internet
thing" down to an art. I just subscribed to his podcast and generally
really impressed he's producing such great content.
So, with the 22nd episode of Live from Daryl's House, Daryl Hall (you know of Hall & Oates) teams up with Smokey Robinson to play a nine-song set. Some of the song listed will be “Sara Smile,” “Tears of a Clown” and “Ooh, Baby Baby.” Not really that much to add here, I guess be sure to catch the pair on August 15th, that's this Saturday, at www.livefromdarylshouse.com.
Hey Daryl, they're watching you, they see your every move...
