Ex-THE HAUNTED Singer PETER DOLVING Has ‘Persistently Tried’ To Make Peace With His Former Bandmates
Ex-THE HAUNTED frontman Peter Dolving, who left the band more than a decade ago, says that he has “persistently tried” to make peace with his former bandmates without much success. The 52-year-old singer, who is currently the CEO of Svenska Verde AB, a Swedish med-tech company specializing in cannabinoid API, reflected on his exit from the group in a brand new interview with Pierre Gutiérrez of Rock Talks. Asked if he is still in contact with any of the members of THE HAUNTED, Peter said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I will give you a sad and honest straight answer: I have persistently tried, and I even met some of them on the street. I have had a sympathetic few meetings with Per [Möller Jensen, drums] — everything all good, all love. With the other guys, they&#...

Kanye West Grammys Performance Offer Rescinded: Report
Kanye West has been barred from performing at the 2022 Grammys, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety point out. Variety cited an initial report from the Blast that attributed the Recording Academy’s decision to rescind the offer for West to perform due to his “concerning online behavior.” A representative for West later confirmed the details of the Blast report to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. West was not among the first group of performers revealed for this year’s Grammys ceremony, and any news of a potential set from the rapper was unannounced. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Kanye West and the Recording Academy for comment.

Weezer Go Vivaldi-Rock (?) on SZNZ: Spring EP
For a band still very much defined by the crunchy alt-pop of their very first album (and by the departures from that sound on their classic follow-up), Weezer has used its unlikely second and third decades as a band to practice a surprising amount of eclecticism. For Decade Two (roughly 2003 through 2013), this translated to never knowing whether a Weezer song would be pop-rock bliss or appalling disaster, leaving only the certainty that any given album would have at least several tracks’ worth of each. But since 2014 or so, the band has seemed less defiantly scattershot in their experiments. Their albums still come out at a steady clip, but they feel more sonically and thematically cohesive — without sacrificing their playfulness. Appropriate for its debut in a season of blooming, the ban...
‘CODA’ & Docs About The Beatles & Tom Petty Win 2022 PGA Awards (Full Winners List)
CODA, Encanto, Summer of Soul and documentaries about The Beatles and Tom Petty won at the 33rd Annual Producers Guild Awards, which were held on Saturday (March 19) at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

In the last five years, they have agreed three times (The Shape of Water, Green Book and Nomadland), and disagreed twice. Five years ago, La La Land won the PGA Award, but Moonlight (eventually) won the Oscar. Two years ago, 1917 won the PGA Award, but Parasite won the Oscar.

Shooting Wounds 4 in Downtown Austin as City Hosts South by Southwest Festival
Four people were shot and wounded in downtown Austin, Texas, early Sunday (March 19) as the city hosts the annual South by Southwest festival, police said. According to the Austin Police Department, the shooting took place on the 400 block of 6th St. Officers told people to avoid the area at around 2:50 a.m., warning via Twitter that the gunman was still at large.

In 2019, multiple shootings took place as the festival drew to a close, prompting Austin’s police chief to pledge more security for the...
How SXSW’s Only Ukrainian Act Fled Kyiv to Bring ‘Masters of War’ to Austin
To get to this moment — singing “Masters of War” at the Speakeasy in Austin, Texas, on Saturday (March 19) with Bob Dylan‘s guitarist while fans draped in Ukrainian flags roared from the balcony — Oleksandra Zaritska endured a terrible journey.
