Steve Kimock, along with his band (with Wally on drums), will head to Japan this summer to play the infamous Fuji Rock Festival in Japan as a headlining artist on the Field of Heaven stage, July 28th. Other acts include Radiohead, The Stone Roses, Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, Ernest Ranglin, Galactic, Jack White, Explosions in the Sky, Dirty Dozen Brass Band and many more.

Touring several times in Japan in the early 2000′s and appearing at Fuji Rock in 2003, Kimock very much looks forward to returning to Japan.

After the tragic Tsunami last year, he recorded several pieces honoring Japan, including a video ode to Japan at the Relix offices in NYC and an impromptu “Love for Japan Jam“ at an SK&F show in Sebastopol, CA on the night after the Tsunami. For more info visit Fuji Rock Festival.

Prior to going to Japan, Kimock and his band will make a stop in the Bay Area, so stay tuned for show announcements!

JeConte is in the studio with New Orleans singer songwriter and rocker Anders Osborne working on his forthcoming release ‘Down by the Bayou’ this April. This album is tied to a new series of music that JeConte is working on for his film series Search for the Soul. Mali Blues is the first in the series of locational based collaborative projects for ‘Search for the Soul.’ This record will unite Cajun/N’awlins Swampy Blues with NorCal Rock’n’ Roll and weave together JeConte‘s passion for Louisiana and The Bayou. JeConte, Anders Osborne, Wally Ingram, Mattey Cohen, Chris Haugen, Carl Dufrene and some ‘soon to be announced’ major guests will be in Louisiana at Dockside Studios in early April to work on this new and exciting release. Look for the single featuring JeConte & Anders ‘Down by the Bayou’ coming out this summer on Youtube and the full album release later in 2012…

To celebrate (and benefit) Amnesty International’s 50th year advocating for human rights, an astonishing roster of artists from Adele to Ziggy Marley have all contributed their own interpretation of a Bob Dylan song. Many, like Pete Townshend and Lucinda Williams, give straightforward readings, while the likes of Rise Against and Queens of the Stone Age crank up the volume, and Elvis Costello and others get a little more experimental.

Eric Burdon, meanwhile, outfits “Gotta Serve Somebody” with a Bo Diddley beat. Google visited Burdon near his home in the desert of Joshua Tree, California, where he and his band treated us to a live version of the tune as the sun set behind them.
