Lambgoat reports: Leng Tch'e has officially
announced a replacement for recently departed drummer, Svencho. Now joining
the band is Tony Van den Eynde, of Belgian death metal band The Seventh.
Here's a statement from the band:
"Tony was actually recommended to us by
our ex-guitar player and founding member Glen. Many people heeded the call
when the word was out that we needed a new skinsman and it was a tough
decision to make in the end, but we believe Tony has all the skills to
take us to the next level. His power and technique will baffle you all.-

CMJ reports: The US District Court of Appeals
has denied an emergency stay petitioned by webcasters, according to SaveNetRadio,
forcing the coalition to reach out to the public to contact Congress to
support the Internet Radio Equality Act.
In hopes to delay the upcoming July 15
royalty payments increase set by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) and
enforced by SoundExchange, spokesperson Jake Ward considers the denial
"a setback" but "not the end of the road."
"Webcasters aren't going to simply give
up the music they love without a fight," he said in a statement. "We will
fight against this unreasonable rate increase until a solution is reached."-

PR reports: You may have noticed that we haven't
been covering Lollapalooza this year. That was their choice, not ours.
But we're providing some related coverage today since this news came from
a cool indie band and not the bellends running the festival. Here is their
message, help them out if you can:
Berkeley based band KAURA, is representing
the San Francisco Bay Area and all of California for that matter for the
Lollapalooza Last Band Standing Contest 2007. Jane's Addiction singer and
Lollapalooza Founder Perry Ferrell hand picked 20 bands from the 100 bands
who made it to Round #2 on Sunday Night to proceed to Round #3. Voting
continues until Midnight on July 20th and people may vote every day. The
Top 5 bands will then go to Chicago to battle live in concert in front
of Perry Ferrell for the 2 slots available.
Kaura, are hoping that there small but
dedicated following will score them a slot in Chicago. "We are totally
independent and DIY and have no label or corporate backing like other bands
in the contest have." said drummer Benjamin Jones on Monday. "Every vote
we get is coming from our fans and people who want to help." The band,
who was invited last year to open for TOOL in Sacramento last summer by
Livenation, and had A Perfect Circle's Paz Lenchantin guest on their debut
EP, is dying for a chance to compete
live in the last round in Chicago. "Our
live show is what has gotten us this far" singer Malcolm Guess explained.
"We are going to bring Burning Man to Chicago! I think it is important
to have California representing in this contest and we can only do it with
people's support."
