In a piece appearing on The Record yesterday, Dave Grohl weighs in on arena rocking versus club rocking and how to try and merge the two. In it we also learn that Grohl's very first live show was seeing Naked Raygun play The Cubby Bear! Here's what he has to say about the show: more ›

If you can write a convincing argument for the Foo Fighters playing a show at your garage in 25 words or less, you and 50 pals might have a chance at hosting the Chicago stop of their "garage tour" on April 19. The word count makes it so anyone who enters practically has to communicate their argument in grunts and emoticons, but we're hoping fans can pull off some creative Foo haikus given the constraints. more ›

Tickets go on sale Thursday morning at 10 a.m. more ›

After following Dave Navarro’s blog and then switching over to the build up at The Panic Channel’s website over the last year or so, we had to check out the band at the Double Door last night. Comprised of former members of Jane’s Addiction with Steve Isaacs on vocals, we hoped The Panic Channel would be just what we’d been waiting for. more ›
