Gaga's DJ Lady Starlight has some fantastic demands!

As previously announced, Lady Gaga's DJ (suprisingly even more horsefaced than her mate) Lady Starlight will be jetting in from New York City to headline the rock room at this year's Crossfire Halloween Massacre on Saturday 31st October in a secret location in East London. As a regular on the NY party scene, famed for riotous behaviour and being one of the most rock 'n'roll glamour-girls in the city, accommodating her was always going to be a challenge. However, Lady Starlight's outrageous and frankly bizarre rider requests have raised even the most furrowed of brows.

. Log fire in room. Must be in a suite at the Hoxton Hotel Urban
Lodge

. Mixed high quality sushi platter (Nobu) served on ice, no crab
sticks

. 1 bottle of Krug Rose champagne, chilled

. 5 bottles of Jack Daniels

. Fresh fruit platter of yellow and orange fruits only, including
star fruit and passion fruit

. Star-shaped "red velvet" cupcakes from Hummingbird Bakery

. A pole and two female dancers (one blonde, one brunette, both at
least 5'8")

. Full length mirrors on every wall of the room, including the
ceiling

. 3 bottles of alkyl nitrites

. Assorted sex toys

. 2 baby hedgehogs and a Persian cat

. A star registered under Lady Starlight's name

. A selection of yellow flowers to be displayed on each surface in
the hotel room

. Sky TV with access to all popular porn channels

. Ltd edition Iron Maiden 'Sound House Tapes' 7" vinyl

. A fan in every room

. Smoke machine

How's that for press?

Lady Gaga's DJ announces first UK show!

Crossfire are eight years into their reign as leaders of the underground skate/music scene and are back with London’s most rocking annual Halloween Party, THE CROSSFIRE HALLOWEEN MASACRE.

Last year this event witnessed Pendulum, Chase & Status, Enter Shikari an Dan Greenpeace tear up the hallowed night as guests. This year the lineup includes a plethora of high energy DJs including Lady Gaga’s DJ Lady Starlight destined to blow up the dance floors in both rooms once again.

The venue for this legendary event is never the same. This year, in true Crossfire style, the location will remain a secret until its announcement on Crossfire’s notorious daily skate and music magazine at www.caughtinthecrossfire.com, but we can tell you that this year it will be held somewhere in East London.

PATRICK WATSON AUSTRALIAN TOUR

The Canadian singer songwriter will be dragging his baby grand around the country for Falls Festival (VIC & TAS), Sunset Sounds (QLD) and Southbound (WA) as well as a very special performance at the Northcote Social Club.

Rising out of Montreal, Canada's hot spot for indie music, the wildly eclectic and dreamy soundscapes of Patrick Watson began as a solo project in 2001 when Watson recorded and released his debut solo album. What began as a solo project quickly became something more as Watson was joined by high school friends Robbie Kuster, Mishka Stein, and Simon Angell to create Close to Paradise and in 2009 the beautifully crafted Wooden Arms.

In 2007 Watson also lent his talents to The Cinematic Orchestra as he co-wrote their inspiring album Ma Fleur including the beautiful To Build a Home now featured in the Schweppes burst commercial.

Music Vice Has Joined MySpace!

I am pleased to announce that after recent communications with MySpace, Music Vice is now on MySpace!

Somebody had been holding a page using the Music Vice name since 2006, which was an annoyance as well as a copyright infringement. So within the last few days I contacted MySpace and explained this, adding that I felt it was important for us to have a presence on MySpace, given that every band on the planet has a page on MySpace Music. (We did have an old page up on MySpace, but I was aggrieved that we couldn't use our proper name because someone else had taken it.)

I received an email from MySpace this afternoon, informing me that they were going to be deleting the impostor account immediately and handing over the MySpace address MySpace.com/MusicVice to us!

We stood up to the man and won!

So, as of today, the one and only official page for Music Vice on MySpace is: www.myspace.com/musicvice

Thanks a bunch to the good folks at MySpace for being so speedy and helpful with sorting this out!

Give us a few days to get the page sorted out and then we'll begin adding friends and using it and stuff...

Nick Cave Issues apology to Kylie Minogue and Avril Lavigne

Nick Cave's latest book 'The Death Of Bunny Munro' features a protagonist so obsessed with Kylie Minogue and Avril Lavigne, that Cave has issued an apology to both artists.

"I would like to publicly apologise to both of them, especially Avril Lavigne," he said. "Because the writing about her is darker and more invasive I guess. I know Kylie and at least, I hope, she will take it in the spirit it was written. At the time that the book was set, which was about eight years ago, or seven years ago, Kylie Minogue and her hot pants were all the tabloids wrote about in this country."

The book revolves around the titular Bunny Munro, a door-to-door lotion salesman who spends his days seducing women, "serving both their sexual and moisturizing needs."After his wife commits suicide (a fact for which Bunny feels partly responsible), he hits the road with his son, Bunny Jr.; meanwhile, a man in red face paint and plastic devil horns accosts women in Northern England before a murderous impulse sends him southward.

Shock Records recently released the 7CD audio book of 'The Death Of Bunny Munro', with Nick Cave reading the book. The package also includes a DVD of Nick Cave reading excerpts from the book, underpinned by a soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (Bad Seeds, Dirty Three).

Could you get better PR at the right time?

Future of Turbonegro Uncertain.

According to Norway's VG website it's looking as though Turbonegro's future is quite uncertain due to the disease of Scientology and general unhappiness within the band after their latest album Retox fell flat.

If you can read Norwegian the whole story is here but below you can read a few translated quotes.

Earlier this summer, guitarist Knut Schreiner said he was going in a different musical direction. He also emphasized that if a new Turbonegro album was to be talked about, it had to be filled with vitality and inspiration - something he doesn't feel the band has in it at the moment.

Already on extra time.

Thomas Seltzer points out that the band has worked a bit of overtime already.

"We were just going to have three comack concerts in 2002. Now it's become seven years, three albums and about 12 tours" he says.

VG has learned that there is supposed to be a lot of discontent internally in Turbonegro, around vocalist Hank von Hell's crusade against the pharmaceutical industry and his connection to the Church of Scientology.

"He is a dedicated man, I can't say much more than that. It's his crusade, it has nothing to do with Turbo. We are not a political party, and one has to be allowed to express oneself even if one plays in a band" says Seltzer who is amused by his colleage's dabbling in Scientology.

"If we make a new record, we'll see if there will be any songs about L. Ron Hubbard", he laughs.

Every Avenue Release First Single From New Album

Every Avenue have released their first single Tell Me I'm A Wreck from their forthcoming album Picture Perfect. The song is up on the band's MySpace.

Every Avenue recently finished up an eight date tour over in the UK. They kick off their US tour next week with The White Tie Affair, starting Wednesday, October 14, in Detroit Rock City.

Peter Criss announces he had breast cancer

KISS founding drummer Peter Criss announced on his official website that last year he was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"This is Breast Cancer awareness month... In '08, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, but with (early detection) my great doctor Alex Swistel & staff and the Lord above, who always looks over me, I am cancer free today!!!

I wanted to let you know men get it like women do. Don't be afraid to let someone know if you have a lump. Do the right thing for you and your loved ones and get it checked. Man or woman, there is no discrimination with breast cancer ... we all don't have nine lives."

Evile's Mike Alexander dies on tour

(Band Statement) Sadly, just a few days into their European tour with Amon Amarth, Evile's Mike Alexander was suddenly taken ill and rushed to hospital, but tragically passed away in Lulea, Sweden on Monday. No cause of death was mentioned in the band's statement but Evile members Matt Drake, Ol Drake and Ben Carter have released the following statement:

This is so hard to find the words to express fully how we feel. We can't believe or accept what's happened. One minute we're talking to our buddy, Mike, the next minute we can never speak to him again.

There's so many things rushing through our heads that we want to say, do and feel. We half expect him to come round the corner and call us 'dickheads'. We can't get our heads around it.

It upsets us so much that he was away from his family when this happened, although knowing Mike, we're at least glad he was on tour doing what he loves. We're lost for words. We all miss him so much already. He was such a headstrong, genuinely nice guy who loved music and his family. We've got so many brilliant memories with him.

Our hearts go out to his daughter, family and friends at this tragic, difficult time.

Mike is much loved and is sorely missed.

Rest in peace, brother.

Foreign Beggars new video

Foreign Beggars have a new video out and an album out next week - take a look!

Ladysmith Black Mambazo UK Tour

Nelson Mandela publicly called Ladysmith “South Africa’s cultural ambassadors”, following his release from prison. The group sings a cappella isicathamiya and mbube music – loud, powerful choruses contrast with softer, almost whispering chants where voices blend harmoniously, combined with tightly-choreographed dance moves that keep the singers on their toes.

I must express how extremely gutted I was to have missed Ladysmith Black Mambazo when they were in Australia earlier on this year so don't make the same mistake I did and go and see them on their massive UK tour commencing next week.

Due out on November 10th this year, Dead to Me have released the artwork to their new album entitled African Elephants.

Since the release of their first record Cuban Ballerina and last years fantastic EP Little Brother 2nd singer Jack Darymple (formerly of One Man Army) left the group after becoming a first time father which should make it interesting to see how these guys sound now.

Guns n' Roses Sued

(Reuters) - Two independent record labels sued U.S. rock band Guns N' Roses for $1 million, claiming the group used portions of two songs by a German musician on their last album "Chinese Democracy."

Guns N' Roses and Universal Music Group's Interscope-Geffen A&M label were sued by British label Independiente and the U.S. arm of Domino Recording Company, who own the licensing rights to songs by German electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss.

Singer Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses band members and album producers copied portions of two of Schnauss' songs -- "Wherever You Are" and "A Strangely Isolated Place" -- for a song used on the band's last album called "Riad N' the Bedouins," according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed on Friday but made available on Monday, seeks $1 million in damages. A spokesperson for Interscope-Geffen A&M, owned by Vivendi's (VIV.PA) Universal Music Group, was not available for comment.
