Read More One of my favorite albums of all time is the Stone Roses' self-titled debut album. It's one of those perfect albums that you can listen to every track and love it.

STONE ROSES
thestoneroses.org
Do you live in the States and too embarrassed to admit not knowing who the Coachella headliners are? I've got great news for you, a new music biography book: STONE ROSES: WAR AND PEACE by Simon Spence was just released this week, April 2nd, on St Martin's Press.
The book will likely cover the overnight success of the Stone Roses from their debut 1989 album to their current "cult-like" status. Plus: Britpop, "Madchester", and possibly dissecting the truth behind the breakup and reunion - all based on over 100 interviews with key figures and exclusive "insider materials". Also, I can't wait to see the forty unseen photographs of the band.
It would seem that at the moment, the Stone Roses are only entertaining doing large music festivals and nothing less. Side shows (if any, like in Australia) were sold out minutes when they were announced - even at a higher prices than a typical show. … This just means it would be unlikely that I will see the band live in my lifetime. If you lucky enough to see them then below is their tour dates. Note that Johnny Marr confirmed that he will be opening up for the Stone Roses on their London dates.
In other Stone Roses news, a new documentary by Shane Meadows called The Stone Roses: Made of Stone will be in theaters June 5th across the UK and Ireland via Picturehouse Entertainment. The film will premiere in their hometown in Manchester on May 30th with a very rare public appearance from the band and the director and producer (Mark Herbert).

THE ROLLING STONES
rollingstones.com
As previously mentioned last year, the Rolling Stones are back at 50 with their GRRR! greatest hits compilation and some very selective shows.
The band are 'rolling' out more tour dates in 2013, announcing this will be part of their "50 and Counting" tour. Ticket sales will be available April 8th with some other dates pending due to NBA/NHL playoff schedules.
Singer Mick Jagger had this to say about the tour, "'50 AND COUNTING' has been pretty amazing so far. We did a few shows in London and New York last year...and had such a good time that we thought...let's do some more. It's a good show. Lots of the classic stuff everyone wants to hear...with a few little gems tucked in here and there. The stage is shaped like lips and goes off into the venue so I get to run around in the crowd. It's great fun to be able to get that close to the audience."
NME recently crowned The Rolling Stones as "Best Live Band", so expect an amazing show if you're wealthy enough to see them live. Also, stage is shaped like a giant lips???? Dates listed below.

ELEPHANT STONE

We've already mention the band a few time times, and just a reminder that they are currently on tour with the Black Angels and the Allah Las. We will be covering the show on April 20th at the Fine Line Music Café. Note that Black Angels will also be doing a record signing on Record Store Day 2013 (with Greg Grease, 4onthefloor, Frankie Lee, and Dave King Trucking Company) at Electric Fetus. There'll be giveaways and food! I might stop in if I'm outside bicycling.
Also note: four-twenty. Expect smoke and minds to be blown. Psychedelic fans unite!
