During KatzPascale’s first show in Leeds earlier this summer, a 55-year-old man cried for the first time since his wedding. In their video diary of the tour, he appears on grainy film, bewildered as he and his wife tell the camera, as if delivering a testimony, how, before that night, tears hadn’t fallen from his eyes since 2001. The response isn’t uncommon for the live shows of saxophonist Sammi Katzmann and cellist/vocalist Jenna Pascale, where audience members pour into the streets afterwards, heralding the experience as a catharsis, an awakening, perhaps even an exorcism. Since the first moment they began…

Rod Stewart has cancelled his upcoming tour stops after undergoing a routine coronary stent procedure.

He later cancelled all upcoming show dates after successfully undergoing a routine coronary stent procedure. In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, Stewart’s representatives said that…

Rosario Dawson confirmed she filmed a scene as her Daredevil character Claire Temple for Spider-Man: Brand New Day—but it didn’t make the final cut. During an appearance at GalaxyCon in Raleigh, North Carolina, the actress said she was “a reject of Spider-Man.” In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Dawson’s character is a nurse who treats injured superheroes. She first appeared in the debut season of Daredevil in 2015, and reprised the role in several subsequent MCU series, including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders. “I even shot a scene in the new Spider-Man movie, but I got cut…

In the six years since Phoebe Bridgers delivered her critical darling, 2020’s ‘Punisher’, her life has been marked by seismic shifts – touring and picking up multiple Grammys with supergroup Boygenius, a public romance and breakup, and, in 2022, the loss of her father. But, according to Bridgers, it wasn’t just the chaos of life that prolonged the release of her third album, but a state of “world wear[iness]”, a yearning for a separation of church and state between the music she was making and the world it would exist in. Making peace with that dichotomy took time, time that…

Once or twice a month, sometimes more, a hundred or so Bandcamp subscribers receive a notification about a new release from Kevin Drumm. Most of these releases are adorned with sepia-toned images likely taken on an iPhone. Some list when and where they were recorded along with the instruments used in the process—“Phone, tape machine, voices,” “Electronics, tunnel, computer”—while others are released with zero context whatsoever. The music itself feels wholly ungoverned by any form of structure, and while there are layers upon layers of sound to be parsed out, they all seem to fold into a haze.A handful of…

The pair teamed up for the single’s fantastically campy video in 2024 Sabrina Carpenter‘s music video for her Short n’ Sweet single, “Taste,” has become a standout in her cinematic universe thanks in large part to her co-star, actress Jenna Ortega. The impossible-to-murder pair chase each other with a machete, shotgun, and chainsaw throughout the fantastically campy film, which pays homage to the classics like Death Becomes Her. While its easy to see why fans might assume the stunning bloodbath took weeks of planning between the two to pull off — given the amount of times they murder each other in the three-minute…

The actor was a surprise guest during the band’s concert at Madison Square Garden Mumford and Sons surprised fans packed into Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night with a very special guest: Jason Sudeikis. During the concert in New York City, the star and co-creator of Ted Lasso hopped on stage and joined Marcus Mumford to sing the beloved show’s theme song. The audience broke into cheers during the impromptu duet and as the pair hugged before Sudeikis headed back into the crowd. In recent years, Mumford has released multiple pieces of solo work and compositions, including 2020’s “You’ll Never Walk…

So much has happened since we last spoke: Worldpeace DMT, previously the solo project of London’s Leo Fincham, is now a duo with Rowan Miles, Fincham’s collaborative partner on last year’s The Velvet Underground and Rowan. Miles’ other band, the Femcels, released a great debut album, I Have to Get Hotter; I saw them “perform,” aka dance around to a playback of the album, at Vespers—the nightclub, not the new Jackson Boxer restaurant—earlier this year, after a set by an Amy Winehouse impersonator. A few months later, they performed with Charli XCX. Now, Worldpeace and the Femcels are being positioned…

In the late 2000s, Lil Wayne was the biggest rapper in the world. But for a guy as creative and groundbreaking as Wayne, being boxed in by antiquated notions like genre was stultifying. He wasn’t just a rapper. He was a rock star. And so, he and a battalion of producers decamped for the studio and emerged with 2010’s Rebirth, one of the most amateurish and goofy rock’n’roll albums ever created. There’s something admirable about the fact that Weezy F. Baby effectively convinced his label to let him erect a pyre of money, douse it in gas, and toss a…

It helps that his writing is sharper now, able to drop in these casually worded revelations that just fuck you up. “I would go try to invest in an island, with my luck I’ll see a tsunami or something,” he talk-raps over the smooth DMV bounce of “One.” On “2am,” he follows up “They made me feel way less about myself like I was nothing” with a “Nigga, fuck you” that hits like a deep exhale. I have to take off my headphones and do a lap whenever he confesses “Opioids destroyed the best of me, but I still hope…
