 Kid
Rock Assaults Woman? |
Jam! reports: A 28-year-old Milford, Calif.
woman claims Kid Rock assaulted her. According to the Oakland Press, a
report has been filed with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department and
the alleged assault is under investigation.
In the article, Oakland County Undersheriff
Michael McCabe said the rock star invited the unnamed woman and a man to
his home to listen to music after meeting them at a bar-restaurant in Clarkston,
Calif. McCabe said members of the group admitted to drinking the night
of the alleged assault. According to the allegations, the woman attempted
to leave at which point Kid Rock became enraged because he wanted her to
spend the night. It is further alleged the musician grabbed her by the
back of the neck and pushed her towards her car, causing her to fall into
a snow bank. [there is more, see full story that and Kid Rock's side of

Allen Meltsdown At SxSW |
pr-inside reports: British singer LILY ALLEN
turned hypocrite at the South By Southwest festival on Wednesday night
(14MAR07) after turning up to a show drunk just weeks after insisting she
wasn't a heavy boozer. The SMILE singer performed a lacklustre late show
in Austin, Texas which started with her staggering onstage with a bottle
of beer and a cigarette, apologising to fans for being drunk "because it's
11 o'clock." She then blasted her show's co-sponsor, British music magazine
New Musical Express, after editors reportedly chose to put rock group MUSE
on the cover of the magazine instead of a photoshoot featuring Allen, THE
GOSSIP's BETH DITTO and KAREN O of the YEAH YEAH YEAHS to celebrate NME's
annual "cool list" in November last year (06).
The singer hissed, "Everyone from the NME
can f**k off!" And she picked on one reporter at the show, giggling he
had "the smallest penis ever seen." She ended her showcase reminding the
sold-out 1,500-capacity crowd, "I just want to say once again how much
I hate NME."[see full story for more]- Click

| Rodrigo
y Gabriela Nix US Tour |
AP reports: Rodrigo y Gabriela, known for
their dueling acoustic guitar instrumentals blending heavy-metal riffs
with Latin rhythms, have canceled several U.S. appearances because of a
problem with a work visa.
The duo of Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela
Quintero formed in Mexico City but moved to Dublin, Ireland, after growing
frustrated with the late '90s Mexican music scene... They are waiting for
renewal of Sanchez's work visa, which has been put on hold because he has
a name similar to a wanted criminal, the group's management said Wednesday.

Slayer Part II |
PR reports: As promised here is the 2nd part
of antiMusic/Thrashpit's Billy Gamble's conversation with metal legend
Kerry King of Slayer. In this interview Kerry discusses Pantera, historical
concerts for the band and some of their recent CDs and how they will stand
the test of time. In these excerpts Kerry reveals plans for another Unholy
Alliance Tour this year.
antiMusic: If you could tour with any
band past or present, living or dead, who would it be and why? ** Kerry
King: I'd go with Pantera again, that was one of the most fun tours
I've heard been on. We did the last Pantera tours in the States and we
toured with Damageplan here and there. We did a sort of Canadian tour with
them. It was one of the last things they did. Dime was one of my best friends
in the business. So I think it'd probably be Slayer, Pantera, and Black
Label Society, so you'd get me and my two best friend guitar players out
on tour! [Laughs]
Kerry King: What we want to do in the
fall is have a second Unholy Alliance Tour. *** antiMusic: Who do you think
is going to be on that with Slayer? *** Kerry King: I have no idea.
I haven't heard any strong enough second bands to inspire me to want to
it. I don't want to have Slayer and three that are Chimaira sized, even
though I love Chimaira I need a second on the bill. I need to make it an
event. Slayer with a club show is an event. We need somebody at the intermediate
level. Like last year Lamb of God was perfect.
