Beatles
In the universe of Beatles lore, Pete Best was the drummer that was replaced by Ringo Starr. Best’s mother had opened up a basement venue called The Casbah Coffee Club, a place where the Beatles, in that incarnation played many times, and slept there, again, many times.
Now Best has converted the upstairs into five AirBnB apartments. The apartments are named after the Beatles, and are decorated in Beatles memorabilia; photos, letters, guitars, etc. The club downstairs is largely intact, with drum displays.
The AirBnB has been officially opened, but they have been taking reservations since the beginning of the month.
Sex Pistols
The sex pistols will have a new singer for a set of UK gigs in the fall of 2024. Frank Carter. Carter is taking the place of longtime singer Johnny Rotten, who had an acrimonious split with the band in April of 22 over the band’s participation in a biopic without him.
Carter will join original band members Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul will play five shows in the month of September.
Tickets are on sale now, and more will be available today.

Amyl and the Sniffers
B2B Records will be releasing a new album on October 25th, Amyl and the Sniffers’ first album in three years, called “Cartoon Darkness.” They’ve share a single, called “Chewing Gum.”
“Cartoon Darkness is about climate crisis, war, AI, tiptoeing on the eggshells of politics, and people feeling like they’re helping by having a voice online when we’re all just feeding the data beast of Big Tech, our modern-day god,” says singer Amy Taylor. “It’s about the fact that our generation is spoon-fed information. We look like adults, but we’re children forever cocooned in a shell. We’re all passively gulping up distractions that don’t even cause pleasure, sensation or joy, they just cause numbness.”
Amyll and the Sniffers just finished up a tour with Foo Fighters and will be launching a tour themselves. It’ll be a UK/EU Fall Tour, with a big show opening for Fontaines D.C. next July.
