Robert Plant rolled out dates this morning for his inaugural American tour with his new band Saving Grace. They first played live last year opening for Fairport Convention at tiny venues across England, and this May, they’ll hit U.S. theaters like Town Hall in New York City and Lincoln Theater in Washington, D.C.
Fans who show up expecting to hear Led Zeppelin classics will likely be disappointed. At their gigs last year, the group played Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” Moby Grape’s “It’s a Beautiful Day Today,...

Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul were nearly done with their set at London’s Roundhouse in November of 2017 when Van Zandt told the crowd that a special guest was going to join them on the stage. “I got a friend of mine that wants to come out,” he said. “We need to finish some unfinished business. Say hello to Mr. Paul McCartney.”
The “unfinished business” was a complete performance of “I Saw Her Standing There,” which the two tried to play together at a Bruce Springsteen and the...

Janis Joplin's brother and sister, Laura and Michael, recounted a family trip to San Francisco during the Summer of Love to visit their older sibling, then on the precipice of rock and roll stardom, in a new clip from the documentary, Janis: Little Girl Blue.
Unlike most teenagers who made the pilgrimage to Haight-Ashbury in 1967, Michael and Laura Joplin were accompanied by their parents. Michael remembered Janis giving the entire family a tour of the city and then taking them to a show at the Avalon Ballroom.

I've seen so much music over the years it's often difficult for me to find much that is authentic. I have to get off the beaten track and lurk around the fringes of the music scene. Find those pockets of music where the authentic bubbles and boils. Where artists are making authentic art, for themselves, for their small stake in the world; hoping to get some response back from an audience or a scene, hoping to be noticed, hoping to share their art.
I was talking to painter Ron English at lunch in Austin during SXSW and he reminded me how cities use to stake their claim in creating a music scene with an identifiable sound -- San Francisco in the '60s with the psychedelic bands like the Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, et al.; London's punk/new wave scene in the mid/late '70s with the Sex Pistols,...

Nestled in the middle of Distrust That Particular Flavor, the first collection of non-fiction essays and magazine pieces from cyber-fiction dean William Gibson, is a curious little nugget published in 2003 in the rock ’n’ roll fanzine Ugly Things. “Skip Spence’s Jeans” recounts a visit in the early 1970s to the Bay Area, where a twentysomething Gibson met the titular musician, who played in the psychedelic band Moby Grape before recording his own uniquely troubled, instantly mythologized solo album, Oar. After three pages of painstaking description about Spence’s striking cowboy wardrobe—twill riding jacket, Western-style business shirt, meticulously ...

As the Velvet Underground's "Heroin" blared through the loudspeakers at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street last night, a spotlight focused on a lone turntable and the band's Lou Reed, Maureen "Moe" Tucker and Doug Yule took seats alongside Rolling Stone's David Fricke. The special occasion: a rare discussion of everything from the Velvets' first paying gig at Summit High School in New Jersey ($80 for the night) to their success with Andy Warhol. "Warhol was one of the greatest people I've met in my life," Reed remarked.

Beck knows how to stay busy even when he doesn't have a record or tour on the schedule. First, the omnipresent songwriter collaborated with members of Wilco, Feist, Jamie Lidell, Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer, Bill Withers drummer James Gadson, Brian Lebarton and engineer Danny Kalb this June on "Little Hands," a song by Skip Spence, as part of Beck's Record Club series. Watch the video of the song and recording process below. "Little Hands" was culled from the Jefferson Airplane/Moby Grape singer/songwriter's solo album "Oar."
