Salty Artist Management Lands Slow Pulp and More, Announces Three New Managers
“At a time when all of our clients are off the road, it’s given us an opportunity to look at our clients’ plans as well as our company structure,” says Heimann. “It felt like the right time to use these months to really build out a structure and find ways to support these managers who wanted to have a bigger team and have a brain trust where they can share ideas and get feedback.” Prior to Salty, Chen independently managed Model/Actriz while co-managing Kate Bollinger with Messina-Doering, in addition to also providing A&R support for the Mississippi-based Fat Possum Records. Chen also spent several years at Brilliant Corners Artist Management (formerly Zeitgeist Artist Management) where he worked with a variety of nationally-acclaimed artists like Death Cab for Cutie, Toro y Moi, Phan...
Selena Gomez, Joe Jonas, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Kacey Musgraves and More Stars Who Voted Early
More than 14 million Americans have voted so far, and with less than three weeks left until the Nov. 3 election, this year’s tallies are on track to be historic, with some states already posting 10-40 percent of the total votes counted in 2016 through a combination of absentee and in-person early voting. And, well, stars, they’re just like millions of other patriotic Americans who trust the nation’s election system: They’re getting out early too. “Just finished filling out my ballot!” Selena Gomez wrote on Instagram Thursday (Oct. 22). In a slideshow of pics, she shows off her “I VOTED” sticker. Mandy Moore cast her ballot, but made it fashionable, posting a short video in which she busted out her black leather Stuart Weitzman 5050 ...
20 Questions With The Goo Goo Dolls: Why They Made a Holiday Album During ‘The Sh–tiest Year Ever’
Ahead of the album release, Rzeznik answered Billboard’s 20 Questions about the Christmas LP, his humble beginnings and the Netflix show he’s binge-watched multiple times. 1. What’s the first piece of music that you bought for yourself, and what was the medium? It was a 45 RPM of “Fox On The Run,” by the band Sweet. 2. What was the first concert you saw? Van Halen. I was 12 years old, so it scared the hell out of me at the time. 3. How did your parents shape your musical taste? My dad liked jazz records, and my mother loved singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King. I also had 4 older sisters, so I was constantly hearing what they were listening to. 4. Who made you realize you could be an artist full-time? That’d probably be Robby [Takac, Goo Goo Dolls bassist]. But we weren’t f...

ANTHRAX’s SCOTT IAN: EDDIE VAN HALEN Was ‘The JOHN LENNON And PAUL MCCARTNEY Of Hard Rock’
ANTHRAX‘s Scott Ian has reflected on the passing of Eddie Van Halen, saying the VAN HALEN axeman was “the complete package in every way.” Ian discussed his appreciation for the groundbreaking musician, who died from cancer on October 6 at age 65, during an appearance on Dean Delray‘s “Let There Be Talk” podcast. He said (hear audio below): “There’s not a bad song from ‘Van Halen I’ to ‘1984’ — for me, there’s nothing that I don’t love. Every song, for me, is as important as the big songs. Every song. I love ‘You Really Got Me’ — of course I do. But for me, on the first record, my favorite song is ‘I’m The One’… His solo on ‘So This Is Love?’ Oh my God. He cleaned th...
TED NUGENT Performs National Anthem At TRUMP Rally In Lansing (Video)
Outspoken conservative rocker and Michigan native Ted Nugent played “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Tuesday, October 27 during a Donald Trump rally in Lansing. Thousands of people were in attendance at the event held at Capital Region International Airport. “Let’s make Michigan real Michigan again,” Nugent declared, according to CityPulse, as he called for a moment of silence for the “heartbreak and embarrassment of what we let happen to Michigan” — possibly a reference to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer‘s shutdown orders in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. (Nearly 54% of Michigan voters view the Democratic governor favorably and 59% approve of the job she’s doing, according to a Detroit News–WDIV–TV poll released Tuesday. Meanwhil...
NINE INCH NAILS’ TRENT REZNOR Endorses JOE BIDEN For President
NINE INCH NAILS mainman Trent Reznor has publicly endorsed Joe Biden ahead of the U.S. presidential election next week. “We are gravely concerned about the future of our country (and the world) and therefore will be voting for and supporting Joe Biden and Democrats down the ticket,” a message on the NINE INCH NAILS Twitter reads. Reznor‘s support for Biden should come as no surprise to most NIN fans. Back in 2017, Trent called Donald Trump “a complete fucking moron” who doesn’t believe in science. “That’s what gets me the most — that he’s this vulgar, grotesque dope, everything I hate in people,” Reznor told The Village Voice. Prior to the 2016 presidential election, Trent described Trump‘s victory in the Republican primarie...

Elvis Costello Performs “Hey Clockface / How Can You Face Me” with Jon Batiste on Colbert: Watch
After months of anticipation, Elvis Costello will finally release his 31st studio album, Hey Clockface, tomorrow (October 30th). To promote the effort, the legendary musician appeared on Colbert Wednesday night to perform “Hey Clockface / How Can You Face Me” alongside A Late Show bandleader Jon Batiste. Holding his spring suspension microphone perhaps a little too close to his computer camera, Costello delivered what felt like a very old-timey performance despite all the technology involved. Batiste, as he always does, gamely played along at his piano, smiling the whole time. The pair also dusted off “Party Girl”, from Costello’s 1979 album Armed Forces, for a Play at Home online exclusive. Check out both performances below. Editors’ Picks Prior to playing his songs, Costello Z...
