Almost 4 years ago today Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly payed tribute to the legendary Detroit rapper Eminem on the steps of St Andrews Hall, a place where Eminem got his start, before MGK's show at the same venue. Check the video out below.
American rock band from Los Angeles, California Letlive announced that "there will be no further activity for the foreseeable future." Check out what the band said below.
In the summer of 2002 this thing we call "letlive." began in a garage in a small suburb of Los Angeles with one goal in mind. Above all else, letlive. was meant to be an idea not an outfit. This idea took its roots in honesty, humility, and finding an ironic strength in vulnerability. This is how it all began and it must end in the same fashion.
We have been granted opportunities and experiences beyond anything we could have ever imagined and we are well aware that none of the aforementioned would be possible without you. Your support, investments, and genuine belief have been nothing short of inspiring which is what allowed us to create these works while enduring the unsettling ebb and flow of career musicianship. With this in mind we would like to take this time to exhibit said transparency and explain that over time a divergence in views and aims has developed within the camp- and, for the moment, the impact that has on letlive. as a group is that there will be no further activity for the foreseeable future. We want to thank every single person that we were privileged enough to make a connection with through this vessel. We will no longer write the soundtrack, but the most important element, the idea, will continue as long as you allow it to. You are and always will be letlive.
All ll.ove,
Jason Aalon Butler, Loniel Robinson, Ryan Johnson, & Jeffrey Sahyoun

April 4, 2017 (Burbank, CA) - Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Angelica Garcia is heading back out on the road this spring, kicking things off tonight in Anaheim at the first-ever School Night in Orange County hosted by KCRW's Chris Douridas. This spring tour will include stops in Philadelphia, New York, Richmond, and Washington, D.C., where Angelica has been selected as a featured performer for Record Store Day 2017. See below for a full list of dates. Alongside the additional live dates, Angelica has shared a powerful new track, "Not A Pipeline," a reflection on the recent political unrest surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Garcia has received overwhelming buzz since the release of her debut album Medicine for Birds, earning critical acclaim from The New York Times, NPR, Paste, American Songwriter, Rookieand more. American Songwriter describes Medicine for Birds as, "...a stellar debut album," while The New York Times praises, "Ms. Garcia sings with muscle and verve, even though her voice remains wide-eyed and never approaches menace."
The 22-year old Richmond-based songstress was born in Los Angeles, but moved to Accomac, VA as a teen when her stepfather traded a career in the music industry for the Episcopalian priesthood. Garcia's family lived in a 200-year-old gothic brick home encircled by magnolia trees. Isolated and alone, Garcia locked herself in the parish house and fashioned a musical world that veers between ghostly gorgeous countrified blues and sly swamp Americana. With a childlike whimsy, quirky sense of humor, and dynamic delivery, it could easily soundtrack an apparitions' ball in some Faulknerian mansion.
Medicine for Birds was recorded by Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Switchfoot) in Nashville. "It's like the songs grew up at that moment," Garcia says. "Charlie showed me how big and crazy they could be. I felt like a hermit coming out. He was the ambassador to this sonic realm I didn't know about it. The music became limitless."

According to TMZ 50 cent and promoter Live Nation were unable to come to a agreement on the price and backed out of the Chris Brown "The Party Tour"
50 Cent originally came to a deal with Brown’s camp and was set to be a guest on the tour. That all changed when it was time to sign his contract. Sources close to the tour said 50 and Live Nation were “hundreds of thousands of dollars apart.” The two sides tried to negotiate a deal, but 50 broke off the talks two weeks ago.

Detroit punk legends The Suicide Machines are set to open for The Descendents Friday April 21.
For tickets click here.
During the course of their career the band released six full-length albums on the labels Hollywood Records and Side One Dummy Records. Though they experienced several lineup changes over the years, founding members Jason Navarro and Dan Lukacinsky remained regular fixtures. The band's musical style initially blended elements of punk rock, ska, and hardcore into a genre popularly known as ska punk or "ska-core," which characterized their first two albums. During the middle of their career they shifted gears, moving away from this sound and producing two albums with a heavy pop rock influence. Their final two albums moved back towards their mid-1990s style, bringing back heavy ska punk and hardcore elements.
TAKING BACK SUNDAY will be returning to the summer concert circuit mid-July. Their national headline tour will kick off on July 14th in New York City at Webster Hall, circle around the U.S. and conclude at Buffalo’s Waiting Room Summer Stage on August 19th.
