Zeppelin with Lesbians: Lez Zeppelin

"Ladies and gentleman...it's time to put your hands together for Lez Zeppelin!!"

Well, they won't go out and admit that they are lesbians. However, as the name implies, you can put two and two together.

"We have sort of a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy," says Steph Paynes, lead guitar player and the "Jimmy Page" of the group.

"It's better to keep it all a mystery, and in the end it really doesn't matter. What matters is the music."

It gives lines like, "let me be your backdoor man," a whole new meaning.

The Sydney Morning Herald has more.

Coldplay Named Britian's Richest Band

Coldplayband1024

Coldplay can now brag that they beat U2 at something. They are richer than them. At least if we only count 2005. According to Ok Magazine, Coldplay made 37 Mil to U2's 35. That's British money, whatever that amounts to.

Maybe Bono and Chris Martin should get together and solve Third World Debt.

Not Much of a Smiths Reunion

According to Undercover.com, the much hyped Smiths reunion on Saturday night, wasn't much of one at all. It only lasted one song, for How Soon is Now, and done. Of course, there's no way Morrissey was a part of that. Johnny Marr and Morrissey want to kill each other.

Get To Know Your Blogger: Live Music Blog

Our favorite link buddy, Justin from Live Music Blog is featured by

Muzzle of Bees.

It's their Get To Know Your Blogger series, which is quite fascinating.

Here's a portion:

My first concert ever was The Gin Blossoms opening up for UB40. I think I was about 12 or something like that; I can still laugh when I think about it. I remember thinking it sucked when the lead singer of the Gin Blossoms announced “a double-guitar solo” and both guitarists just went nuts. In hindsight, I bet it was pretty cool. That’s why it’s funny to me. Also, I remembered it smelled like Otto’s jacket once UB40 came on. Yeah, and it was in the Chicago suburbs, so that’s cool too.
