The Howlies release EP, tour

By Veronica Sepe on 10:00 AM on July 31, 2008

So you might say Paste is a little biased, seeing as The Howlies come from our neck of the woods, but they really are quite a talented bunch. And as much as we'd like them to stay in Atlanta and play for us forever, this foursome is moving up in the music world and may soon be headed to a neck of the woods near you.... read more

Kinks frontman Ray Davies tours in July

By Valentina Tapia on 11:03 AM on July 2, 2008

You have to wonder about a press release quoting The Onion in earnest. Quotes taken out of context (and a B+ from the A.V. Club) aside, Kinks frontman Ray Davies' new solo album Working Man's Cafe follows his 2006 debut solo album Other People's Lives with an acoustic tour to boot.... read more

Bon Iver announces even more tour dates

By Meghan Jones on 5:00 PM on June 11, 2008

For a guy who started out seeking isolation and hibernation in a cabin in Wisconsin, Justin Vernon seems to be loving the touring life these days. Not letting that lack of fanny-pack slow him down, he's planned another round of shows that bring him full circle around the country. Having already toured with the likes of Iron & Wine, Collections of Colonies of Bees and Black Mountain, this tour finds him opening for Wilco and the New Pornographers, and headlining with Bowerbirds and A.A. Bondy, as well as heading back across the pond. In fact, this new slew of dates... read more

Although they may not like to admit it, plenty so-called adults out there still feel giddy when they step inside the walls of a Walt Disney theme park or watch Peter Pan for the 579th time with their four-year-old. Yes, the Mickey Mouse Empire has found its way into the nostalgic realms of our mind that still wear training wheels and onesies. So, why not indulge in your childhood memories in a more open forum?... read more
