Legendary Liverpool Venue Zanzibar to Permanently Close Due to Impact of COVID-19
“Covid-19 has been a massive kick in the teeth for everyone.” Citing the impact of COVID-19, the operators of fabled Liverpool venue Zanzibar have announced its impending permanent closure. “Covid-19 has been a massive kick in the teeth for everyone,” said Scott Burgess, director of Zanzibar, in a statement shared on Facebook. “There has been a tragic amount of lost lives. Peoples hopes, dreams and livelihoods completely destroyed.” Zanzibar has been a staple of Liverpool’s live music for over 30 years and was a local favorite for its patented club nights, such as “The Bandwagon” and “Valhalla.” Many iconic musicians have graced the venue’s stage, including Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher, who recently tweeted that ...
Beirut’s Nightclub District “Virtually Wiped Out” Following Lebanon Explosion
Lebanese authorities have declared Beirut a “disaster city.” Following the devastating explosion in Lebanon’s capital yesterday, August 4th, Lebanese authorities declared Beirut a “disaster city” as the death roll rose to 113. Lebanon’s prime minister revealed that an investigation has been launched into the cause of the blast, which is most likely due to an estimated 2,750 metric tons of explosive ammonium nitrate stored at a Beirut warehouse. The Guardian journalist Martin Chulov, who was reporting at the scene of the explosion, stated that the “whole nightclub district [was] virtually wiped out.” According to Mixmag, a bevy of nightclubs and music venues were located close to the site of the explosion, including The Gärten, The B...
Kayzo Announces New Single “Say It” and Release Date
Kayzo fans, rejoice. Since he released two thunderous tracks in the month of April 2020, Kayzo has been relatively quiet on the new music front. That notion went up in flames, however, after the bass music kingpin took to Twitter to announce a forthcoming single. In early April, Kayzo released “Spin It Back” on his own Welcome Records banner, teaming up with fellow bass sage Calcium for a raucous dubstep offering. He then joined forces with Crankdat for the aptly-titled “The Fire,” a blistering, metal-inspired electro track that received support from k?d, Blanke, Laidback Luke, and many more. Since the newly announced solo track “Say It” will also arrive on Welcome Records, if the two aforementioned tunes are any indication, Kayzo fans ar...
SG Lewis Teams Up with Channel Tres and Robyn to Make a Major “Impact”
SG Lewis also announced his debut album coming later this year. SG Lewis is here to make an “Impact” alongside Channel Tres and Robyn. When three artists of this caliber come together on a track, you know magic is on the way. Together they deliver a single you’ll be dancing to long after summer is over. “Impact is possibly my favorite record I’ve ever been a part of,” said SG Lewis in a press release. “The chemistry between Channel and Robyn is so powerful, and creates something so unique. Channel is an artist I believe will go on to create a musical legacy as important as the one Robyn has already created, and to have the two of them on this record together is insane.” “Working with my good friend TEED again on the production is a...

RIK EMMETT Says He ‘Resolved’ His Issues With His TRIUMPH Bandmates ‘A Long Time Ago’
In a new interview with Full In Bloom, guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett of the legendary Canadian power trio TRIUMPH was asked if being involved with the making the forthcoming first-ever feature documentary about the band’s dramatic career “reignited any animosity” between him and his bandmates, drummer Gil Moore and bassist Mike Levine. He responded (hear audio below): “We’re good. We’re old grown-ups now. [Laughs] That stuff is ancient history, because we resolved our issues a long time ago, and we’ve sort of come to terms with that in very adult grown-up kinds of ways. Having said that, it’s not great when you’re revisiting things in your life that give you sorrow. “It was not an easy time from 1987 through about 1993 — it was a ...
Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape – BLACK CROWN INITIATE
We’ve come a long way from the days when being remotely progressive in metal was seen as an act of extreme radicalism, but it’s still quietly thrilling to see the continued rise of bands like BLACK CROWN INITIATE. The progressive death metal scene has often suffered from too weighty a debt to the first few OPETH albums, with bands falling over themselves to plug a gap Mikael Åkerfeldt was only too happy to leave behind. But this Pennsylvanian unit were always audibly smarter and more unpredictable than many of their supposed peers, and “Violent Portraits of Doomed Escape” continues the extraordinary expansion their sound has undergone since 2013’s “Song of The Crippled Bull”. Four years on from the immersive sprawl of “Selves We Cannot Forgiv...
ANTHRAX’s SCOTT IAN Blasts Bands Who Rely Heavily On Backing Tracks During Live Performances
ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian has blasted bands who rely heavily on pre-recorded tracks during their live performances. In recent years, more and more artists have been given a pass for using backing tracks, drum triggers and other assorted technology that makes concerts more synthetic but also more consistent. Speaking to “Live From Nerdville With Joe Bonamassa” about some rock acts’ reliance on pre-recorded tracks, Ian said (see video below): “I don’t wanna sound like an old man, but, I mean, come on. Look, I get it — if it’s some kind of giant pop act and giant production, or something like that, or if it’s PINK FLOYD doing ‘The Wall’ and there’s recorded stuff — voiceovers, whatever, things like that… But I hate going to a show ...

Xplosive: Dr. Dre’s Wife, Nicole Young, Challenges Prenup, Says She Was Forced To Sign It
Source: Jeffrey Mayer / Getty The pending divorce between Dr. Dre and his soon-to-be ex-wife Nicole Young is getting S P I C Y and understandably so because there is a lot of money on the line.
