Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye
Henry Rollins of Black Flag and Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi have come together to work on a new project, and already four songs have been recorded.
Rollins had this to say in a Halloween website update, “Weeks ago, I journeyed it to DC in order to work on a great project. Ian MacKaye and I went to Inner Ear Studios, where we made our first records decades ago and mixed a four song session with the great Don Zientara at the board. This is the same studio, where the Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, and many others recorded. It was amazing to be back there with Ian and Don. Part way through the mix, none other than Eddie Janney, he of the Untouchables, Rights Of Spring [sic], One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Skewbald and other great bands joined us. The session benefited greatly by his presence. As to the tracks, I had them mastered several days ago, and I’m now working on the layout and design for the record. When it’s ready, I’ll let you know. We are extremely excited by this one.”Pete Doherty
Pete Doherty
Pete Doherty of Babyshambles, formerly of The Libertines, has a new single out, the first in twelve years. The song is called “Dandy Hooligan” and is descibed, by Doherty. “It’s a well-turned-out, elegantly crafted, reggae-ska-pop song… with a sweet melody to bowl along to with your sharpened walking cane,”
Babyshambles will also be putting on their first tour in eleven years, starting with a set of seventeen UK stops over November and December,. .
