Grand Funk Railroad‘s drummer and singer Don Brewer’s head.“The band was going through a pretty rough time period,” Brewer told the New York Post. “We had left our former manager, Terry Knight, and he was suing us over rights to the band name.
We were looking for a hit song because Knight had taken all of our money,”“And so we’re on an airplane, flying into a town to play. I’m looking down at the ground and all of a sudden, ‘We’re coming to your town, we’ll help you party down’ comes to me and I wrote the song around that line.”A half century later, the classic rockers are still comin’ to your town to help you party down as part of their ‘American Band 50th Anniversary Tour.’From September 2023 through March 2024, Grand Funk Railroad — which is now made up of members from KISS, .38 Special, Bob Seger’s Silver Bullet Band and ? and the Mysterians — will hit 13 venues all over North America celebrating their classic song and more at each and every gig along the way.That includes huge shows at Waterloo, NY’s The Vine at Del Lago Resort and Casino on Friday, Nov.

He was in the front row and yelling to our roadie, ‘I wrote that song!'”“We brought him backstage after the show and had a great time. He told us his inspiration for writing ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’ was driving around with his girlfriend in this old beat up car where you could see the ground under your feet because a floorboard fell out.”As wild as that story is, don’t expect too many spontaneous crazy things to

Taylor Swift’s upcoming new ‘Eras’ tour film has broken more box office records this week.The upcoming film will play at ODEON and Vue cinemas across the UK and Europe starting October 13, the same day it is released in US cinemas via AMC. The concert film is expected to be available in more than 100 countries worldwide.Directed by Sam Wrench, the upcoming film is described as a “breathtaking, cinematic view” of Swift’s latest tour, which runs through her biggest hits and rarities across all ten of her studio albums.It’s now been revealed that the film has has already surpassed $100m (£82m) globally in advance ticket sales, with more than a week to go before it hits cinema screens across the world.According to the film’s official distributor, AMC Theatres, this total reflects all showtimes, locations and circuits that will be showing the movie, not just AMC (via The Independent).
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The songs and score of the new film “Dicks: The Musical” are deadpan, but about as far away from dead and humanly and musically possible. It sounds like a fully fleshed-out Broadway musical brought to vibrant life on the big screen, even though it went directly from being a two-man mini-show in a New York comedy club to a movie with a traditonal-sounding, fully orchestrated song score, the scope of which is matched only by the gleeful vulgarity of the lyrics.

The 1975 are touring in 2023 — but some prices to see Matty Healy’s group live this fall just might make you think you time traveled to 1975.Based on our findings, the band, which just kicked off their ‘Still… At Their Very Best Tour’ with special guest Dora Jar has some tickets going for as low as $14 before fees on Vivid Seats available.To be fair, that price is a bit of an outlier — most other shows have seats starting in the $20 to $100 range before fees.Still, that’s a steal to see Matty, Adam, Ross and George before they go on an “indefinite hiatus” after the tour — although Healy confirmed they’re not breaking up at a recent show according to Rolling Stone.And yes, they’ll be coming to New York and New Jersey.On this run of shows, the “Somebody Else” rockers will stop into Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Nov. 7 and New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Nov.

The 1975 are promoting their ‘Still… At Their Very Best’ tour with a video starring Matty Healy that parodies American political adverts.The video shows Healy playing the role of a politician, and is seen visiting a soup kitchen, talking to law enforcement and going to a building site.“Here in the heart of America, we know that redemption is more than just a word,” Healy is heard saying over dramatic aerial shots.“It’s a promise we make to ourselves and to each other. Our nation’s story is one of second chances, of forging a path forward even in the face of mistakes.“It’s about rebuilding what’s broken, healing what’s wounded, and coming together to create something stronger than before.“But redemption isn’t just an abstract idea. It’s something we see every day in our community.

.Swift has officially entered her Autumn In New York era, wearing a simple black slip dress, boots, and a rather professorial tweed fall coat. The coat and dress's minimalist silhouettes, the high-heeled Louboutins, the black handle bag, as well as Swift's signature cat-eye-red-lip-curtain-bangs glam all lent the look a certain '60s mod vibe, which I personally dig.Once again, the singer-songwriter was photographed going out to dinner alongside a slew of her A-lister friends.
