antiMusic reports: With the Rock Star TV series
going down in flames after a dismal season last year (thanks T-Bonehead),
Dave Navarro had a bit of time on his hands and idle hands are the devil's
playthings so Navarro is moving into a new entertainment medium: pornography.
Navarro has taken part in porn star Tera
Patrick and her metalhead husband Evan Seinfeld's new porn series where
they call on celebs to direct feature length porn movies. You can just
bet it took a lot of arm-twisting to convince Dave to do it.
The former Jane's Addiction guitarist's
film entitled "Broken" is set for release on September 27th by Patrick
and Seinfeld's production company Teravision and stars teen porn star Sasha
Grey.

antiMusic reports: New York lawmakers have
tackled the most important issue of modern times, no it's not falling wages
and rising cost of living, predatory lending or even illegal immigration.
They have bigger fish to fry and they have targeted the biggest threat
to western civilization: fake cover bands!
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has signed
the Truth In Music law which outlaws bogus bands from performing in the
state under the name of established artists. The hairbands traveling the
country with just their original bass player need not worry, this law only
outlaws performing under a band name if the group playing does not feature
any original members and if they get caught it could cost them a cool $15,000.-

antiMusic reports: Most people have a price
but it looks like $75 million isn't enough to convince Morrissey to reunite
with Johnny Marr for a Smiths reunion.
Morrissey's publicist told Billboard that
Moz turned down a cool $75 million for a Smiths reunion that required guitarist
Johnny Marr to take part. The offer was for a 2008 and/or 2009 tour according
to the report.
This isn't the first time that Moz has
turned down millions for a reunion. The Smiths reportedly were offered
a multi-million dollar deal to perform at the Coachella Valley Music &
Arts Festival.- more

PR reports: Juliette and the Licks will join
English rock trio Muse for a string of dates in September, leading up to
their first headlining tour in support of recently released sophomore LP,
"Four on the Floor" (The Militia Group).
The fiery quintet has been touring ceaselessly,
from country to country, continent to continent, since the release of their
debut in 2005, and just topped off a triumphant U.S. run alongside Chris
Cornell with an intense performance at Lollapalooza. Clad in head-to-toe
black vinyl, the lead Lick ended her assaulting set with a full on stage
dive, ultimately standing on a sea of hands, like the warrior she is.
The band's headlining shows will begin
in mid-October and run through late November.- more

antiMusic reports: California metal heads
Droid have moved from opening the main stage at this year's Family Values
Tour to closing the Guitar Hero Second Stage. This will give fans a chance
to get up close and personal with the heavy hitters from Long Beach.
Guitarist Jamie Teissere had this to say
about the move: "Since they've pushed us back, we haven't had a bad show.
The energy is the way it should be! It's a lot easier to let people know
we're going on later. We're playing in front of twice as many people, all
concentrated in one area, instead of all spread out in a 20,000-seat amphitheater.
Now we've got huge mosh pits with tons of people crowd surfing. We've even
had a couple dudes carried out with broken legs!"
Also, from now until the end of the tour,
Korn's James "Munky" Shaffer will be joining Droid at their signing booth.-

antiMusic reports: KISS wants you! Or rather
Gene and Paul want your money! As such the band is resurrecting their famed
fanclub, the KISS Army, which was founded by diehard fan Bill Starkey back
in 1975 with his attempts to get his local radio station to play the band's
music.
This new KISS Army looks like more like
a "discount on merch" club, at least that's the impression the announcement
leaves us with. "The KISS Army - LOUD & PROUD since '75! KISS is proud
to relaunch their legendary Fan Club - The KISS Army! In the spirit of
the original club, the highlight of the new KISS Army is the Membership
Kit which features the following Members Only Exclusive items: KISS Army
T shirt, Membership Card, Metal Pin, Bumper Sticker, Guitar Pick, Temporary
Tattoo and Dog Tag!
"Members also receive a $10 coupon and
10% discounts to the KISSOnline Shop, access to Members Only KISS merchandise,
frequent KISS Army e-newsletters and access to amazing seats with our exclusive
Fan Club Pre-Sales." No word on signed scripts from Gene's "reality" show.
